noseyAF Classic-Wandering Together: The Nomadic Family Lifestyle with Abby McNair

Published on: 2nd January, 2024

Welcome back to a brand new year of NoseyAF! I'm joined in the studio by my friend and filmmaker, Ife, as we kick off the year by revisiting a classic episode from 2018. Today, we invite you to join us in the excitement as we replay an inspiring conversation with the dynamic force behind "All We Do Is Wander," Abby McNair.

Abby's journey began when her husband Dion was given the option to retire, propelling them to fully embrace a nomadic lifestyle. In early 2017, they meticulously crafted a plan, sold everything, and leaped into a life of constant exploration. From the vibrant streets of Mexico to the serene landscapes of Japan, the McNairs have traversed diverse destinations, generously sharing their experiences and inspiring others to prioritize travel in their lives.

Throughout our conversation, Abby reflects on the challenges and rewards of nomadic living, emphasizing the significance of meticulous planning and the unwavering support of their community. The McNairs aren't just advocates; they embody living proof that transforming dreams of a nomadic lifestyle into reality is possible. Through their company, TLC Travel Life Coaching, they guide those aspiring to make travel a priority and assist families in embracing the nomadic lifestyle.

As we replay this episode, we delve into poignant topics such as black travel, alternative schooling, and the pivotal decisions that led the McNairs on their extraordinary journey. Join us in rediscovering the wisdom and insights generously shared by Abby.

About the Podcast

noseyAF: Conversations about Art, Activism, and Social Change
Want to make creative work that actually matters?
On noseyAF, you'll eavesdrop on honest, behind-the-scenes conversations between working artists, filmmakers, and community organizers who are building bold, culture-shifting projects—and sharing exactly how they do it.
I'm Stephanie Graham, a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker, and these are the conversations I actually want to have: unfiltered talks about creative breakthroughs, activist hustle, messy pivots, and daily practices that make a difference.
Sure, we cover the basics—who they are, what they do, and how they got started—but we also get nosy: How do they make decisions? What keeps them going? How do they pay their bills and stay true to their vision?
Every other week, I share these raw, energizing convos that fuel my own practice—and might just spark something in yours. Whether you're an artist, curator, cultural worker, or someone who loves peeking behind the curtain, you’ll walk away with practical strategies, real talk, and unexpected inspiration.
The best stories live in the details—and the most powerful creativity happens when we get wonderfully nosy about what really drives us.

Stephanie Graham

Hi there! I'm Stephanie, the creative force behind this podcast!
As a curious multi-disciplinary artist, filmmaker, and Real Housewives scholar, I dive into the fascinating world of relationships and subcultures through conversations with artists, activists, and neighbors. I explore their practices while sharing my journey in art, which includes creating films, photos, and installations focusing on race, social class, and subculture.
Outside of my studio practice and podcasting, I also run Graham Cracker Pins, which offers unique pins that reflect my love for creativity. Although my background involves work in TV and film, NDAs limit what I can share about those projects. Nevertheless, when I can, I do! For more of my art, visit missgraham.com or dive into pin heaven at GrahamCrackerPin.co. Join me as I unravel what others are up to with humor and curiosity.
