There are plenty of resources out there from people who consider themselves to be successful ‘digital nomads’ and will happily retrospectively tell you how they achieved their success. What there are a lot less of, are people blogging about their journey to become digital nomads as it happens, documenting the false-starts and failures along the way. That is what we are doing.   For those who are interested, read on. For those who just want to see some pretty photos and read about our adventures, try this post about the start of our travels in mainland Mexico.

After three years of saving and planning (probably not quite enough of either) the day finally came to leave on our journey. In the weeks leading up to this it was time to say goodbye, to friends, family, pets, places and all things familiar.

It is actually rather dull. To be honest, we wouldn’t have done it if we hadn’t tricked ourselves into it. So here follows our Top 10 tips to trick yourself into saving:

Three years ago, our PanAmerican road trip was just an idea that we hadn’t really made any progress on planning for. But three years ago we were given a big kick in the pants by a devastating earthquake wreaking havoc on our previously peaceful home town. Many people lost loved ones, homes, livelihoods and had their lives irrevocably changed by the events on that day. The face of our city has forever changed as a result.
