🎆 Happy New Year!
As the second calendar year of our fully-nomadic adventures comes to an end and we celebrate the beginning of a new year in Bangkok (the most-visited city in the world), it’s fun to reflect on what an adventure it’s been.

The Year in Numbers
Here are some fun stats about 2024:
Highlights of 2024
Some highlights of the journey include:
YouTube Channel
Our YouTube channel grew a lot this year! One of our old 2023 videos (on repositioning cruises) quietly reached 10,000 views so we refocused our efforts on the channel – and cruise content. Today we have 6,000 subscribers (with 1,450+ in the last 28 days) and we hit the monetization benchmark in August.
Travel Blog
The DigitalRoamads.com blog is coming along, despite Google’s best efforts to kill it. Nevertheless, we KNOW we have lots of great travel content to share – and now it’s getting traffic from YouTube and Pinterest – so we’ll keep on keeping on until Google gets on board.
It’s Really About the People
What makes this lifestyle most worthwhile are the awesome people we meet along the way. It’s so great when we hear from followers about their travel plans or on one of our live broadcasts. This year we’ve been able to visit our families scattered around the U.S., as well as spend time with old friends (and a few new ones) in Portugal, Rome, Paris, and Barcelona. We ran into our old foreign exchange student in Chiang Mai. We particularly love meeting up with other fellow nomads – and there are a lot of folks doing what we do – in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Austin, Carvoeiro (Portugal) and Rome. Traveling this way makes for such a rewarding journey and we look forward to continuing the adventure in 2025.
Looking Forward to 2025
In 2025 we have seven cruises scheduled, including at least two with multiple nomads we know, and we literally cannot wait. One of those will be our very first transpacific cruise! New countries in 2025 will include Nicaragua, Guatemala, Colombia, Tunisia, and Taiwan. Will we hit country #100? We’ll see!
See you out there!
