When the people we meet on our road-life adventure find out we're not retired or independently wealthy, they often want to know how we make a living and can afford to travel as we do.
Ultimately, we're both digital entrepreneurs working remotely. As long as we have WiFi, we can earn money from anywhere around the world. This didn't happen by accident – we've been building a variety of digital businesses for decades, though some of these online ventures have evolved with time.
Here's a breakdown of what we do.
Dalman Designs
James has a diverse creative background, but for the past 37 years, he's been a professional designer and marketing consultant for hundreds of companies and non-profits, including multi-million-dollar brands, professional sports teams, best-selling authors, and online celebrities.
Road Life Adventure
As digital creators who embrace the adventure lifestyle, we've dedicated ourselves to developing and building our "Road Life" brand, which now encompasses this publication, YouTube channel, our online shop, and an upcoming book. We're also discussing an annual magazine idea for the future.
I Love Scents
Donetta has been a successful independent fragrance consultant for 14 years through the direct sales company Scentsy. She's earned numerous awards and incentive trips, helped many people launch their own Scentsy business, and generated a nice residual part-time income through her efforts.
101st Airborne Division Legacy Site
James is an Army Veteran passionate about military history, particularly World War II and the Screaming Eagles paratroopers who liberated his grandparents during Operation Market Garden. This unofficial website serves to honor the legacy of the 101st Airborne Division.
Additionally, James continues to manage a small trucking company on a part-time basis, and we also find other creative ways to make money, such as selling stuff on eBay or the Facebook marketplace.
Our goal as a digital nomad couple is to always have multiple revenue streams because the marketplace is constantly changing, and with the rising cost of living, we must adapt to survive.
