Our apartment lease ended in April, so we pared down our possessions, put what was left in storage, packed up the car and moved to... Nowhere. On April 12, we were officially homeless and ready to embark on a short stint as digital nomads. During the sixty-five day journey we stayed in 26 separate lodgings, drove 5,864 miles (3,009 in the US and 2,855 in the UK), and logged close to 14,000 total miles on cars, airplanes, ferries, trains (both above and under ground), ubers, shuttles, and feet. Cary worked remotely for much of the trip in a wide range of accommodations including hotels, an Airbnb, a mountain timeshare villa, and a rebuilt and modernized 17th century English cottage, which to our surprise, had the best internet connection of the entire journey. He took 2.5 weeks of vacation time while we were in Scotland to have more time to enjoy the wilder, more remote areas of the country, where internet connectivity was often unreliable.
We'll write more and post pictures later about our travels in the US, but for now, here is a map of where we went. You can click here to open an interactive map if you want to, but you really don't have to.😊 In a nutshell, we drove through the Heartland (and prayed, and ate, and worked, and ate some more) until we reached Chicago.
