Format Panel
Organizer Chris Dunphy – Two Steps Beyond
Description Why wait until retirement to explore the world? A panel of experienced technomads will converge at SXSW 2011 to share their stories, offering up practical advice and insights to help others make the leap to a life of adventure and excitement without a fixed home base. While technology is making it ever easier to work online and remotely, why limit yourself to sitting at home in your PJ's, or roving between coffee shops? Why not take the next step, take your home on the road, and really BE location independent? Many are embracing a technomadic lifestyle, and many more are looking for inspiration and advice to help them take the leap, cut the cord, and leave the conventional definition of a fixed-place home and work-place behind. Panel hosts Chris Dunphy & Cherie Ve Ard have been connecting with an ever growing community of others called to nomadism, and for SXSW 2011 they will bring together a diverse collection of other amazing technomads to share their unique experiences and unconventional life paths. This panel will focus on practical tips on how to leave a fixed-place existence behind and explore a life of technomadism. Topics covered will include selecting the right arsenal of technology to work successfully on the road, constructing your ideal mobile home (wheels, sails, backpacks, or...), and legal issues such as domicile, voting, vehicle registration, and taxes.
