Hi everyone! Justin and Jayme aka @nomadcouple here. We wanted to introduce ourselves to all the global Steemians out there. We are excited to be apart of this ever growing community and are looking forward to reading your posts, interacting with you, and sharing all the foodie finds, travel stories, and our take on what it’s like traveling the globe with no home to return to.
We were based in Los Angeles, California living the typical Angeleno lifestyle, braving the traffic, freelancing, but always finding time to experience the great things that LA has to offer. Hiking around Griffith Park, catching Dodgers games, going to comedy shows, strolling around the Hollywood Farmer's Market, and of course indulging in our fair share of tacos were just a few of our favorite LA activities.
After 3 years of experiencing all LA had to offer we got a bit antsy for adventure. While living in LA we did a fair amount of travel, but we starting thinking about how cool it would be to hit the road with just our passports and a couple of backpacks. It was only after a string of professional opportunities arose did we realize that this fantasy could actually be a reality and we could work remotely and anywhere in the world.
Jayme is a professional photographer specializing in food, travel, interiors, and lifestyle. Justin's professional life is a touch more variant. He runs an Import/Export company, writes, produces photo shoots with Jayme, and does a fair amount of photo editing. We are a team professionally and partners in travel and life.
In May of 2016 it started as a 2 month road trip up the west coast to Washington and back. Our travel “trial run” was more than we expected and more than we hoped for. We could do this! We really could sell everything, pack a few bags, a camera, a few laptops, and travel the world! Well, this is where we find you all right now. In the past year we've been to France, Italy, Germany, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, and we're currently in Bali. It has been well over a year of traveling, and there’s no end date in sight.
Please follow us to hear about our global foodie finds, travel notes, and life on the road @nomadcouple. Do you have any city or country recommendations? We’d love to hear from you! Suggestions on where we should head next and cool culinary destinations are always appreciated!
