Learn About Us

Mindful Noamdics consists of a minimalist travel couple and two cats. We travel the world and believe that life was meant for more adventures and less clutter.

Quick Run Down

Philip and Kelsey Schaub work as traveling physical therapists and their cats tag along. Each job assignment means a new location to explore.

We work about 6 months out of the year and fill in weekends and time in between assignments traveling as much as possible. Sometimes it gets wild but we wouldn't want it any other way.

After meeting at Ohio State for grad school, our first job took us out west and that's where we have been ever since. Now we live in Portland when not working and mostly take jobs in the West Coast States or in the Southwest.

Nomadic Lifestyle

Even with our home base in Portland, we spend a lot of time on the road. We are either working on an assignment or we are traveling for fun.

For a few years, we went full nomads living in a travel trailer but that has since been retired. Now we go from our apartment to rentals based on where we are working.

We are always down for an adventure and always planning a trip somewhere. Sometimes for a quick weekend and sometimes for a more grand vacation.

Even with all our travels we still make sure to have some downtime. Sometimes our vacations are just us two and other times we are visiting friends or family.

Since we travel so much we have met a lot of amazing people and make sure to keep in touch.
