Travel Gnome January 27, 2011

Back in 2005, Irving went on a weekend trip and came back with a gift for me! A travel gnome! I named her Reese.

2008 – Italy (Reese starred in this video, which won us the Contiki Grand Prize for a free trip for two anywhere in the world… we chose to go to Russia in 2009!)

From then on, she has traveled around the world with me. She travels in my pocket or purse and makes an appearance in the most exciting places. This is her photo album. Enjoy!

    i just recently found mine in a box. unfortunately there is no way to find where he’s been. 😦

    I tried to look up gnomads.net, but I don’t think it exists anymore. Do you know if they changed their name? Because now it’s a name of some dark video games. Somehow I acquired one of their gnomes and wanted to know where he has been. I was planning to take him (Rollin) on a cruise this summer…. then the pandemic 😕

    My mom lives in LA so I go there almost every year – maybe Rollin & Reece can meet one day after the pandemic 😏

    Hope you’ll get this message! Love all your photos! I might just take Rollin on staycations (Seattle) for now.

      Hello! Thank you for your note! I’m not sure if that gnomads website exists anymore. Even back when I was actively using my gnome, the website had changed hands a few times. It’s too bad because it’s a super fun idea! I would love for Rollin & Reece to have a playdate sometime! Stay safe! Hope you get to go on some adventures again real soon!! ~Kelley

    I have been looking for the company that sold those gnomes, you dont still have it by chance?

  4. Amanda Says:

    That is such a cool idea! I’m jealous of all of the travelling!
