Our Nomadic Timeline From the Beginning

Where our journey has taken us so far.

Our most recent stamp in Uganda. Photo Credit: Author

Many of you know that in 2017 we sold all of our possessions to head out into the world to travel full-time. But many of you may not know exactly where we have been in that time. As we pass 6 years of this nomadic life, I felt that I better start writing down where we have been, and when.

This will benefit not only my readers but also me as my brain ages and starts to forget (and before I have to delete the pictures, which tell me the dates, off of my phone to make room for new ones!)

I think, moving forward, that this document will be a living document that I will continuously update. There will be no details about the places that we visited, but I will link to appropriate lists or articles that may give an insight into each place as I write them.

Please note that this list does NOT include the places that we traveled to before we became nomadic full-time. To see that complete list, head to the ‘countries’ tab on our website.

So here we go, in order of where we started first:

Costa Rica — (4.5 months) October 2017 — April 2018

Nicaragua —(2.5 months) April 2018 — June 2018

Guatemala — (6 months) July 2018 — January 2019 (with two short trips to Mexico during this period.)

US/British Virgin Islands — (2 weeks) January 2019 — Feb 2019

Puerto Rico — (10 days) Feb 2019

St. Kitts & Nevis — (5.5 months) Feb 2019 — August 2019 (with a 2-week trip to Anguilla during this period.)

Guatemala — (12 days) August 2019

Costa Rica — (3 days) August 2019

Canada — (4.5 months) August 2019 — January 2020

Morocco — (9 months) January 2020 — October 2020

Turkey — (2.5 months) October 2020 — January 2021

Egypt — (3 weeks) January 2021

Sudan — (3 months) January 2021 — April 2021

Uganda — (7 months) May 2021 — December 2021

Tanzania — (in transit for 7 days) December 2021

Zambia — (in transit for 3 days) December 2021

Botswana — (6 weeks) December 2021 — January 2022

Zambia — (3 weeks) January 2022 — February 2022

Tanzania — (4 weeks) February 2022 — March 2022

Uganda — (6 months) March 2022 — August 2022

Turkey — (3 weeks) August 2022 —September 2022

Thanks for joining us on our journey. As I write more posts, I will update this page!

Happy travels!
