After a short but sweet two-week stay in Baja, we decided to head back to the States. My body was telling me that it needed more time to rest and recover from surgery and that adventuring down Baja’s rough and remote backroads wasn’t in the cards for me this year. Mark and I are pretty good at rolling with the punches and pivoting when our wants and needs call for it, so we embraced the two...
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. I’m very happy to report that this edition of our monthly digest is coming to you from a beautiful beach in Baja. While we’ve spent our winters in Mexico for the last four years, 2026 got off to a very different start. The need for major surgery—which took place on the last...
Two days after we arrived back in Baja this year, breaking news about cartel violence in Mexico spread across the US. We received countless texts from friends and family concerned for our safety. Had this been our first or second time in Baja, we no doubt would have been afraid; the unknown is a breeding ground for fear. But thanks to the experience we’ve acquired over the last four years, the...
2025 was a heck of a year for us. After five years of slow-moving, full-time RV living, we picked up the pace and covered more ground than ever before. Back in March, I realized we were on track to sleep in far more places than any other year, and so I began logging every campsite out of curiosity. By December 31st, we had slept in 99 different locations in 2025. If I had to guess, I’d say that’s...
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. This edition of Notes From The Road is coming to you from an unlikely place, given that it’s December. After spending five weeks in Arizona, yesterday we returned to Colorado. As many of you know, December is typically when we head south of the border for several months of...
Welcome to post 18 of 26 in the A to Z Guide to Full-time RV Living.Find all A-Z articles here. R is for Rules of the Road When Mark and I first got our truck camper we were as excited as we were naive. We had no idea what it took to have a fun, safe, and successful time on the road, we simply went for it and learned along the way. Some days would be dreamy while other days would be...
November felt like an unusually domestic month for us. There was lots of working and cooking and going out to dinner with friends and getting cozy on the couch to watch a good show. (What is it about the shorter, colder days that seem to grant permission for a good tv binge session?) We savored every bit of it knowing that soon enough our wheels would be turning once again and...
Our mobile lifestyle brings us face to face with a wide variety of people, communities, and cultures and I love seeing how other people live. What we outwardly display with our possessions is a statement of what’s important to us as individuals. And each and every individual has their unique set of priorities. But how often are those priorities—the things we choose to devote our...
Everything you've ever wanted to know about Quartzsite, Arizona and why it's a mecca for RVers.
In 2024 we spent nearly three months exploring every corner of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula; documenting the journey in detail every day along the way. The winter long adventure proved to be as much about self-discovery as it was about the highs and lows of navigating a foreign land & culture. Along the way we unexpectedly formed a caravan with other full-time travelers who...
