Life between a narrowboat and wherever the next adventure takes us isn’t always smooth sailing — mostly because we’re winging it as we go!

If you’re into slow travel, canal life, and a few navigation mishaps along the way, come have a look.

New videos every Friday!

This week’s vlog is a special one!

We travelled on Europe's last train ferry, a 21-hour sleeper trip from Milan to Syracuse. It’s a unique journey where at one point, the train gets loaded onto a boat to cross the sea!

Want to see how it went? Watch it here:

The new one from @floating-nomads.bsky.social is now live.

Find out why we love Monaco and keep returning even though our budget is narrowboat rather than superyacht.

I was quite hungover for a lot of this, see if you can tell.

We discovered an absolute GEM of a coworking space in Valletta today. We spent 6 hours there getting on with some work, everyone was lovely and it didn’t cost us a penny! #digitalnomads

We’re currently abroad rather than on board and after a morning of work, we’re out in the blistering heat and seeing the sights of Paris! 🇫🇷

We were very excited to see the balloon / Olympic flame back on in the Tuileries gardens!

P.S. new vlog out Friday 📍
