If any of you heading out to Burning Man this year are starting to think about adopting the title of nomad for more than the time you’ll be on the playa, you’ll want to be sure to check out Camp Nomadia.

This year, they’re sharing a space with Pandora’s Fix-it Shoppe & Dream Lounge at 6:00 and DNA. They’re also home to the Digital Vagabond and the first batch of Roads Scholars and their graduation ceremony.

Camp Nomadia hosts the Technomadic Lifestyle Workshop on Thursday from 3:00-4:00 in which they share with you “how to live, work and play full time on the road. From picking your ideal mobile arsenal, finding location independent professions to the logistics of handling taxes, mail and more.”

Though Burning Man is about happenstance, coincidence and serendipity, there can be nothing wrong with pushing things in the right direction by deliberately meeting some people to help you put your dreams in motion.

    I will be at Camp Nomadia too! Come and sign up to be gonzo journalists for Black Rock TV! I will be vlogging and filming from the playa for the whole damn week, reporting the news, going mad and I am looking for a small army to contribute their media.

    Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with the Matador Network! The turn out for our Technomadic Lifestyle Workshop was over-the-top awesome (probably around 100 folks, and it was overflowing into the streets). It’s certainly a topic a lot of folks were interested in!

    Enjoying hosting folks from Matador in the camp.. wonderful tribes forming here.
