October was a month of slowing down for us. After having slept in eighty different locations this year, it feels delightful to have spent the last two whole weeks lying low at our property. We absolutely love living a life of perpetual movement but even those of us with incurable wanderlust find the need from time to time to be still. Over the years we’ve found that taking the...
Welcome to post 16 of 26 in the A-Z guide to full-time RV Living.Find all A-Z articles here. P is for traveling with Pets Living on the road full-time with one or multiple pets is extremely common.

If I’ve learned one thing from spending our winters traveling around Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, it’s that we’re bound to make friends in the most random ways. Full-time travelers concentrate in Baja during the winter months; allowing us the rare opportunity to connect with our fellow nomads. This spring, on our very last day in Mexico, we met Hayley & Joe, an...
Hello dear readers and welcome back to another edition of Notes From The Road. This monthly practice of reflecting on where we’ve been over the last 30 days is a tangible reminder of just how fast time goes by. And that sentiment feels like it’s never been truer than in September. All of a sudden it’s fall, the temps are dropping, the leaves are turning, and the days are getting...
It’s time to pack up and move on today, but to where? In ten days, we need to be in Crested Butte, but between now and then, we have the freedom to roam. Had you asked me a week ago where we would head today, I would have enthusiastically answered something like Lake City or the San Juans. I was excited to explore a corner of Colorado that we don’t know as well as the rest...
Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado // After four nights being parked in a city surrounded by light and noise, it feels eerily dark and quiet overnight. At one point, I wake up in the night feeling entirely discombobulated. Where am I? It takes a moment to orient myself and remember where we relocated to. This is a common experience I have, especially when I’m working on...
Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado // We’re both zombies this morning after four straight days of Overland Expo. Any remaining campers are supposed to be off the premises by 11am but I can tell none of us are moving fast. For our last night, we moved the truck to be closer to friends and ended up parked right next to the largest tent at the show. It was the hub of the...
Overland Expo, Loveland, Colorado // It’s the last day of Overland Expo, and last-day energy is in the air. Many camps around us are breaking down, packing up, and departing this morning. Every fellow instructor we cross paths with is just as tired as we are. However, the show is still on from 9 a.m. – 3pm and our most detailed presentation is yet to come. At 10am...
Overland Expo Mountain West – Loveland, Colorado // It’s Saturday at Overland Expo Mountain West, the day that brings the most attendees, the most action, and the most energy of the event. Last year’s recap reported 18,000 attendees, and this year is looking to be just as good. On our agenda today is to sit on one expert Q&A panel, give one presentation, and attend the...
Overland Expo Mountain West – Loveland, Colorado // Overland Expo officially kicks off this morning with education, demonstrations, and vendor exhibits starting at 9 a.m. Our class is slated for 2pm which means we have all morning to peruse the show at our leisure and attend any classes if we feel like it. The show essentially has two sides to it. One side is the...
