Nomad Dad Life
Hello, my name is Chris Rylander.
I’m creating this blog to share my experience traveling the country, working remotely, and being a parent. I’m a husband, father, business owner, employee, traveler and beer enthusiast. The last one comes in handy when moving two young children around the country every three months. Everyone knows life with kids can be a lot to balance. I’m going to share what worked for us, what didn’t and the places and things we enjoyed most during our travels with our toddlers. I’ll also have guides and tips on how to travel with children, working remotely as a parent, and our favorite places we visited at each location.
My wife and I knew there was more to life than the routine of going to work, and paying bills. We were tired of being in debt, working opposite schedules (so we didn’t have to send our kids to daycare) and still feeling like we were not getting where we wanted to be financially. In addition we didn’t have the quality family time we wanted. We knew we had to give up our “comfortable” life and make some sacrifices in order to reach our goals.
Our family decided to pursue the travel nursing life while I work remotely. It was overwhelming at first to think about bringing our two young children (2 years old and 8 months at the time we started) on adventures across the country, but also exciting knowing that as long as we were together, home would be wherever the next contract takes us. Our plan is to do this for 2.5-3 years until our oldest child starts school. At that time we will stop the nomad lifestyle and have a permeant address again.
