Welcome to the Normal to Nomad podcast where we share stories, thoughts, ideas, and conversations on our journey to find balance with nature in a technologically advanced world.

My name is Barron.

And I'm Elsa. We live together in a 13-foot scamp trailer with our dog camp in the American wilderness.

Welcome back. This is part two of the solo cast from yesterday. I woke up this morning and there were a bunch of new questions. So I felt bad not answering as many as I could. So here we are. To start off, somebody asked about the laptop lifestyle.

And I think they're referring to kind of the digital nomad sort of thing.

I am reluctant to call myself a digital nomad anymore because I think the whole idea of that has kind of been

bastardized for lack of a better word and a lot of people are

leveraging the fact and I guess like I'm guilty of it but a lot of people are leveraging the fact that

people want to live a nomadic lifestyle and they want to use digital means to support it.

Like that's what I do effectively.

But I think a lot of people are a little bit disingenuous with that

and just post pictures of them on the beach like working on their laptop and say like five

tips for becoming a digital nomad in 2020 or

five tips for learning to drop ship on amazon you can do it too it's so easy like that kind of

stuff is just kind of i don't know it turns me off so the whole digital nomad laptop laptop lifestyle thing has kind of, I don't know, it turns me off. So the whole digital nomad laptop lifestyle thing has kind of

gotten out of hand. That being said, I did just get a new laptop for the first time in almost 10 years.

I had an old MacBook air that I got in early 2012, and it had served me well up until last month and I got a 13-inch

MacBook Pro finally and it has been wonderful my old air I'd replace the

battery on it twice and it still ran through the battery super quick whenever I

was doing anything intensive.

So now with my new MacBook Pro, it has four USBC ports.

So I can charge it from USBC to USBC with our new Goal Zero Yeti 500X.
