Here you will find maps of the routes where I am currently, my future plans, and where I have traveled since the beginning of this journey.
Nomad Dave’s Current Route
The first 8 months of 2024 has been filled with bouncing between my two “homes” in Olympia, Washington and Buenos Aires, Argentina just living a “normal” life. But the adventure starts up again on September 15. Ten years ago to the day on September 15 I left my home in Olympia, Washington and took off on an adventure of a lifetime that continues to this day. Now, I am retracing my tracks on the first five days that started it all taking me from Olympia to Phoenix. Unfortunately I won’t be continuing on to Ushuaia, Argentina but it is a different time and this time I’ll need to turn around and go back to Olympia. But, on the way back I’ll take new tracks and create new memories. Enjoy following along.
When it is time to hit the road, I carry a SPOT Trace satellite-based tracking device with me. One reason is for safety. The other is so anyone interested in my journey can easily see where I am at any given time. You can see where I am at any given time while I am on an adventure and where I have been throughout the trip.
Just in case you are interested in a Spot Gen4 device for your own travels I have made it easy for you to purchase one by adding a link to it on Amazon.com. While there is a cost for the device itself also keep in mind that there is an annual fee for the tracking service of $149. They only offer service in 1 year increments. In addition, to display the map within my own website (as opposed to the user being redirected to Spot’s website) I use a service provided by Spotwalla.com. It takes a bit of work to understand how to implement it within your own website but it is doable and well worth the effort.
