Description
We’re Rick & Adam - The Floating Nomads. We sold our house, quit the 9-5, and now live a life of constant travel. We spend months abroad at a time, taking the slow route - flight-free whenever we can - by train, ferry and overland journeys… and we also share life on our tiny UK narrowboat when we’re back in the UK.

New videos every Friday.
From long-haul adventures like Buxton to Brazil without flying (CNN even covered that one) to lock flights on the UK canals, we share real stories from the road, rail and the water.

The Floating Nomads A little behind the scenes from Pera Palace. Adam composed a special piece just for that sequence called “The Woman in Room 411”. Listen out for it in the video. 😉 (4 hours ago)
 
 
The Floating Nomads Agatha Christie fans: this one’s for you. Did you know she wrote Murder on the Orient Express in Istanbul, and the story begins here? We visited the hotel where it was written and retraced some of Poirot’s steps. Istanbul 2 is live now: https://youtu.be/hg9_mLD3P7g?si=-JbUA... ❤️ (1 day ago)
 
 
The Floating Nomads Happy Saturday, everyone! ☕️ We’re reading through the comments on last night’s Istanbul film and are honestly blown away. (Especially the one from the viewer in Atlanta waiting out the storm—stay safe! ❤️). If you haven't had a chance to watch it yet, we hope you do. This wasn't the video we expected to be making... we thought we'd hate Istanbul it worked its magic and charmed us. This video was shot on our first day there and you can see us becoming enchanted with it before your eyes. R & A x (8 days ago)

First time viewing your vlogs, I will be back, you are really nice people to listen to and you have made your boat into your home, not a show boat or anything like that - a practical and comfortable home, well done.

This one popped up on my YT feed and i loved it, what a lovely home, seriously. Tailored to your needs yet bought pre-owned, what a find! I can see why you are so attached to her now, so cozy and still very light and bright.

I found this to be so interesting. My great grandfather was a canal boat captain on the Erie Canal in the states. He married my great grandmother and they had two children, while living on the "Ella Mae". When they got to #3, they bought a house where his wife and kids lived and he captained the boat, until retirement.

I thought your boat was beautiful! Very well put together and the amount of storage is amazing. I hope you enjoy it for a long time. Blessings to you both.
