Our Nomad Life

Skutull
T
his is the adventure of a husband and wife who travel indefinitely with their dog, Skutull. Their destinies initially intertwined in Boulder, Colorado and are now guiding them around the world in search of meaning, culture, and connection. It's a journey inspired not by a bucket-list, but by our desire to fully appreciate the ephemeral time in our lives when our dog is our kid.
In this collection of armchair travel stories, I take off the rose-colored, Instagram goggles that adulterate modern travel culture and tell an honest tale. This is the story of our nomadic life, as raw as I can write it.
