My YouTube feed primarily consists of videos in one category…travel by RV and van. And if you’re creating videos about road tripping in Mexico and beyond, chances are high I’m going to watch. Enter Hayley & Jake. These two Canadians, with spirits full of wanderlust, popped up in my YouTube feed last year. I was captivated immediately when I learned that they spent nearly a...
Every year there is one day that feels unlike all the days that preceded it. In Colorado it usually happens around the end of August or start of September. I’m talking about the first day that it feels like fall. I’ll never know, and will always wonder, what it is that shifts overnight to create this unmistakable feeling. From yesterday to today, the temperature did not change, the clouds no...
Welcome to Notes From The Road, a monthly recap of where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to over the last 30 days. We hope you enjoy it. This month’s Notes From the Road is coming to you from our property on Colorado’s western slope. In the four years we’ve owned our property, we’ve never spent any time here during the summer months. But with all the truck projects and preparations for this...
For the last three winters we’ve taken our truck camper plus utility trailer setup to Baja for several months of exploring. Our experiences have been so rich and rewarding but what was once a place that felt outside of our comfort zone is now a place of familiarity. While Baja ranks at the top of our all-time favorite regions, we’re ready to get back to the unfamiliar, to exploring...
Let me begin this post, about willingly submerging myself into cold water, by trying to express how much I hate being cold. It’s no coincidence that I’ve built my life around seeking out and living in places that are sunny and 75 degrees. I’m one of those people that brings a sweatshirt to the grocery store and wears socks to bed. I take scalding hot showers because anything...
Welcome to post 14 of 26 in the A-Z guide to full-time RV Living. Depending on how you go about the lifestyle, living on the road can either foster healthy habits or make them difficult to maintain. For Mark & I, our physical and mental health is a priority as we believe that feeling good is at the root of a good life. Here’s what we’ve learned are the pillars to remaining...
A couple of months back I received a delightful email from a fellow full-time RVer and blogger. HD was reaching out to say hello and let me know that she’d quoted me in an article that she’d written on her website the Dirtbag Dao. Flattered by her email I went on to read said post “RV Living as Communal Living” and was immediately drawn to her writing style, her values...
Welcome to Notes From The Road, a monthly recap of where we’ve been, what we’ve been up to, and the things we’ve enjoyed over the last 30 days. In our two decades as Colorado wedding photographers, July has always been our busiest month. Until this year. Only one wedding on the books for this month meant three wedding-free weekends; a very unusual and welcome change of pace during our...
Welcome to post 13 of 26 in the A-Z guide to full-time RV Living. For full-time RVers, receiving mail is one of the trickier aspects of the houseless lifestyle. Living and traveling in an RV full-time means not belonging to any one single address. However, a mailing address is required for many of life’s necessities and in some cases, a physical address is required as well. Luckily, there are...
