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 will be 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 in September.

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.  This section will be updated when I start my next adventure and a map will be displayed here with my location.

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.
