The Beginning
Leaving the Comforts of Home
By Thomas on June 28, 2007 | No Comments »
The last box is packed and I’m looking around the now empty apartment. I’m going to miss this place which has been our home for the last four years. But I’m not the only one who’s sad – Tony is staring teary-eyed at the empty space where the TV used to be. Wouldn’t it make you weep to leave this comfortable place?
Hunters and Gatherers

This morning the hunters and gatherers raided our apartment and pretty much cleaned us out. It’s amazing what people will buy if it’s piled in a heap (something my mother taught me.) It seems that people have a hunting instinct which is satisfied by discovering a hidden treasure. Who knew our old junk was so exciting?
The Countdown Begins
By Tony on June 23, 2007 | No Comments »
Welcome to ContemporaryNomad.com, everybody. This is the first official post on our blog – a stepping stone to our rather unpredictable, yet very exciting future. The countdown has begun. We have exactly one week to pack up and get ready for our departure from Berlin … and we are nowhere near ready!
My last day of work was Thursday, and Thomas’ was Friday. Solid employment is behind us now as we take the plunge into the unknown. We’re 21st century nomads now – nomads without horses or camels. Instead, we have backpacks and cameras and one seriously overdeveloped love of travel. But don’t worry about us, these nomads use their wits and creativity to survive, we won’t be grazing goats or herding yaks to survive… or will we? Oh my god, what have we gotten ourselves into ?!?
