NOMADING IN 2026: What three years on the road taught us

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.Chapters(05:20) – The Origin Story of Our 3 Year Nomad Journey(16:30) – How Do We Travel Full Time?(20:00) – How to Travel the World as a Couple in 2026(21:20) – How Do You Plan Years of Travelling around the World?(22:12) – Best Apps, Gadgets and Gear for Travel(24:57) – Cheapest Accommodation When Travelling(26:36) – Will It Be More Expensive Than My Day to Day Life Now?(27:36) – The Single Best Piece of Travel Advice(29:00) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: TSA’s Most Unusual Finds of 2025(33:03) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Sailor Circumnavigates UK Despite Terminal DiagnosisScott's WTF of the Week🛫 TSA’s Most Unusual Finds of 2025🔗https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2026/01/23/Transportation-Security-Administration-turtles-bra-replica-bomb-unusual/4841769194559/Shelby’s Good Vibes Only⛵ Sailor Circumnavigates UK Despite Terminal Diagnosis🔗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.positive.news/society/life-after-a-terminal-diagnosis/Recommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.⁠⁠⁠🎧 NOMADIC LIFE: The highs, lows, and strange realisations of travelling to 12 countries in 12 months🎧 Surviving Laos: How Travel Breaks You… and Rebuilds You🎧 The Nuance of Traveling Safely in 2025, Vietnam’s Vegan Test Passed or Failed & The Strictly CurseDiscount Codes (Airalo)Airalo code: SHELBY5873Airalo code: SCOTR7127📲 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.airalo.com/---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?
