Viva La Mexico
We are in Baja, Mexico traveling internationally for the first time with our airstream! Follow along to see how the journey goes.
What the FUNK?
Year three of our full-time travel adventure was underway. On this day we found ourselves nestled in a state park on the amazing Oregon coast, a place none of us had been before. Full of giant trees, moss, the ocean, and breathtaking cliffs. Yet something was missing. Something was not right. We were just…. off.
Recap – Summer 2023
What started out as an emotional homecoming ended up being the healing moments lives are made of! We are grateful for all of them beyond the words we can write or say! It is a true testament to the beauty of the human experience!
Mr. Otis 2 Month Rescuversary
2 months since our road trip to rescue Mr. Otis in Colorado. This has been one of our most popular videos on social media thanks to one, Matthew Mcconaughey.
When Is It Time to Move?
When traveling full time is your lifestyle, how do you decide when to move? Well, that is a good question that we have been asked quite a few times and is a great campfire conversation starter, as everyone’s thought process is unique.
Quartzsite, Yay or Nay?
A small-town of about 2000 full-time residents in western Arizona, that sees its population swell to over 200,000 at any given time during the winter and more than a million passing through. It hosts one of the largest RV shows in the country, “the big tent”, one of the world’s largest gem fairs, and is known for its quirky personality.
We Did It! Living Rent Free in January
When we started out on this lifestyle, we were curious about many things. One of which was could we find “happiness” and “peace” in such a busy world, if we reduced the amount of “needs” we had and in turn freed up more of our time to for us to be, well, us? In January we accomplished one of our goals, we lived an entire month rent free!
You Want to Live in an RV?
The wide-open prairies, desert winds, ocean breezes, mountain pines, are where we can go to get away from it all. Places we can examine our “no longer truths” and to put our mental well-being first. Leaving your sticks and bricks behind for a never-ending road trip won’t do the self-help work for you, but it will open the possibility like few other changes you could make.
You Want to Live in a RV?
No sir or ma’am, we are going our own way. We will be the king, sheriff, and sole determiner of how we spend our days out in nature. We are done answering to anyone else it’s just us and all this beauty. That is…. until your gray and black tanks are full!
Our Vision for the New Year
Welcome to the new year and thanks for joining us on this adventure. This week we wanted to share one of the rituals we do to focus our thoughts and energy for the year.
Why We Love the Desert
Choosing to stay in the western United States this winter with the goal of avoiding the cold and snow can only mean one thing, head to Arizona. This week we share some of the reasons we have found that made us realize we love the desert!
The Campfire that Changed Everything
As Andrea stood up to stoke the fire it happened out of nowhere. No warning signs. No chance to intervene or pre-empt it. I still get chills and flashbacks just telling this story which maybe is part of the reason it happened. To ensure we are not on auto pilot in our own relationships. As I sat in my chair enjoy the conversation, things suddenly changed.
How Do We Live Without a Microwave?
Another question we get from fellow campers and many of our kid’s friends and parents when they were younger is this, “how do you live without a microwave?”
How We Choose: Boondocking, Harvest Host, Campground, and the Pink Thong?
How We Choose: Boondocking, Harvest Host, Campground, and how a pink bikini can change it all.
Simple Tricks to Improve Year 2 on the Road!
This week we wanted to share a few changes we made to our travel strategies for our second year on the road.
Love, Laughter, and Healing
What we did not know or expect was how this theme of celebrating a life lost, would open doors to healing conversations that were desperately needed.
Family bonds were strengthened, new friends became “chosen family” and the tears of open, honest communication were followed by hearty laughs throughout the night.
It’s Been a Year, Our Travelversary!!
At times it’s hard to believe we’ve been on the road for a year already. However, when we are sharing our memories of the people and places from our travels, it seems like this has been our lifestyle forever.
4 Hidden Life Gems in Full Time Rving
An unforeseen blessing of our new lifestyle has been all the “life gems” or hidden lessons that were waiting out on the road for us. Over the next four weeks we will share four of our favorite “life gems” with you.
Wildcat Philosophy, French Rum, and The “Happiness” Business
It got us thinking though as we left the next day, westbound stocked up on the best French rum, stories, and a slight hangover.
What if we were all in the “happiness business”?
CAMPING IN FLORIDA FACT OR FICTION?
We knew camping during the winter in Florida would be a logistical challenge, but we wanted beaches, oceans, and palm trees.
So, we accepted the challenge and spent January through early April wintering in south Florida.
Now that we are back in the west, we wanted to share what we learned with all of you.
