Mr. Nomad Numbers

We are a couple who travel the world and want to inspire people to think differently about the life they can design for themselves through our journey.

How we booked 6 international one way tickets + 5 nights at a high-end resort in Fiji for $400

After landing in Taiwan at the cusp of the pandemic in 2020 we had to sloooooow down our travel significantly and spent most of the past 2 years on this wonderful island. Now that we feel more comfortable to travel internationally again, we’ve been back on the travel rewards train to score amazing deals.

In this blog post, we share the latest bookings we made to show you how inexpensive travel can be if you leverage travel rewards.

[Interview #024] Going from normal to nomad as a late onset Type 1 diabetic – From misconceptions and comfort zones to experimentation and adventure!

Jason Robinson is a 44 years old who grew up in a fairly small manufacturing/factory town in Ohio to a mom who stayed home and a dad who always took overtime to make ends meet. Travel wasn’t really a thing back then.

It wasn’t until his 30s that he started traveling more domestically and trying things like hostels. A year later I sold it all, 8 months later covid hit, then 6 months after that I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes

In this interview, you will learn what does a typical day in his life look like (compare to before), what inflection point led them to decide to change your life trajectory, what were some of the limiting beliefs that hold him back, what is his cost of living per year and how is has been traveling the world as a onset Type 1 diabetic!

Relationship tips for nomadic couples – Monthly check ins

About 6 months ago we shared our best relationship tips for nomadic couples based on our experience of being nomadic for more than 3 years. One of the first tips we shared was about having ongoing check in. I feel like this is such an important tip that it deserves its own blog post.

In today’s post we are going to talk about our relationship check-ins. We will explain why they are important, what they are about, how long and often we like to have them as well as some tips to make them as fun and efficient as possible. Keep in mind that you can apply it to any kind of relationship, whether you have a 9-5 and most of your time is spent at the office, or like us where we get to spend more of our time together.

Sick too often? Weak immune system? Low sex drive? Overweight? Over stressed?  Challenged to keep your weight under control? At risk of diabetes or heart disease?
