Over 50,000 people made their way to Burning Man last year. Are you on your way to this year’s event? If so, be sure to connect with the writing foursome from this year’s Roads Scholarship.

These writers have been blogging about their trip across America for the entire summer and will finally converge in Nevada this week. A graduation ceremony is planned for Thursday night, from 7pm to 9pm. All vagabonds and nomads are invited to come meet the class of 2009 and party with the Digital Vagabond tribe.

Instructions are very, um, Burning Man. Track the crew down in Bat Country by looking for the van that reads Digital Vagabonding.com.

Kyle, Joanna, Marina, and Allana will be sharing photos and video from their trips, following a “whimsical ceremony”.

Full details are available at Digital Vagabonding’s site.

We’re looking forward to this.. we’ve been following these guys all summer.

We’re full time nomads ourselves, and are hosting ‘Camp Nomadia’ (http://www.technomadia.com/resources/campnomadia/) – a theme camp at Burning Man for nomadic minded folks. We’ll be hosting a ‘How to be technomadic’ workshop on Thursday afternoon
(3-4p), and then a ‘Nomadic Happy Hour’ for mingling with nomads. Afterwards, we’ll have a march to Bat Country for the graduation ceremony! We’re so looking forward to it!

We welcome all nomadic folks – past, present and future – to come hang out with us at Camp Nomadia @ 6:00 & DNA. We have about 40 other nomads from across the globe camping with us.

See you on the playa!

Tom, Thanks for the notice. Going to Burning Man is like traveling through a dusty portal into an alternative Universe. When I stepped into this world, I felt like I’d found my way home after vagabonding North America for two years. It’s one of the ultimate travel destinations for those with vagabond or nomadic spirits. I’ll see you dusty vagabonds and nomadic travelers out on the playa.
