About this episode

Scott and Shelby discuss their experiences and lessons learned from nearly three years of full-time travel in 2026.

We talk nomading in 2026 and how nearly three years of full-time travel has reshaped the way we work, plan, and commit to life on the road. From remote roles and staying aligned on the bigger picture, to the tech, tools, and accommodation hacks that actually make this lifestyle sustainable, we share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why flexibility matters more than the perfect plan. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to the strangest things airport security uncovered in 2025, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shares an extraordinary reminder that even when the future is uncertain, choosing adventure, purpose, and wonder can still be an act of defiance.
