Our path to full-time RV travel was far from straightforward. We’ve tried part-time and full-time travel with various rigs since 2012. It’s now been four years since we last lived in a house and we can’t imagine going back. Here we share a candid account of what it’s like to travel full-time.
When we first started spending our winters in Baja four years ago, I never would have guessed what would become one of my most favorite aspects of traveling along this 1,000 mile long peninsula in Mexico. While the fish tacos and the beaches also reside on my list of favorite things, it’s the like-minded people we meet every year that have really made an impression on me. There’s...
Choosing to live on the road full-time is not a conventional choice by any means, but for some people, it feels more natural to have the freedom to roam rather than be rooted in a singular place. That has definitely proven to be the case for Mark and me. We’ve been living on the road for over five years now and can’t imagine returning to a solid foundation. Every now and then...
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 the place we call home, our property in Western Colorado. A few days ago we woke to the unusual sight of snowflakes falling from the sky, a vast departure from the summer-like weather that accompanied us for all of March...
As I sit here on a beach in Baja California, Mexico, reflecting back on all that happened in March, it feels surreal. We lived a lot of life in March, and even flirted with death. At the top of the month, the mission was simple: follow the Pacific coast from Oaxaca 1,200 miles northwest to Mazatlán, and take the entire month to do so, if we feel like it. In the end, it was anything but simple...
Hello and happy March! Being that we crossed into Mexico before Thanksgiving, it’s crazy to be only three weeks away from spring and nowhere near the US border. We’ve always said that we wish to spend more time in Mexico every year and that’s exactly what we’re doing. In February we continued to make our way south, ending up much closer to Guatemala than the US. While we...
Hello readers! We’re excited to share that we’ve joined Patreon, a decision long in the making. For the past three winters, we’ve shared daily stories and photos from our travels. When not posting daily, we provide weekly insights into life on the road, aiming to entertain, inspire, and inform our readers. Since launching this website in 2012, we’ve sought ways to generate a small income to...
If you’ve not been keeping up with our daily stories of our travels around Mexico, this January recap is for you! We kicked off the first day of the year with the most unique place we’ve ever spent a night in our truck camper. The TMC cargo ferry took us 278 miles, over the course of 16 hours, from the city of La Paz in Baja California Sur to the city of Mazatlan on the mainland of Mexico. This...
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, I’m happy to report, is coming to you from a stunning and secluded beach on the west coast of the Baja peninsula. While this November recap is a bit late, in all honesty, I considered not sharing anything from November at all. Two thirds...
The last four years of life on the road have looked quite similar for us. Colorado in the summer, Arizona and Baja in the winter, and anywhere in between as we migrated south and back north. The problem with repetition is that Mark and I get bored easily and end up craving all that there is to be discovered in the unknown. Something that can’t be achieved when you’re constantly residing within...
I can’t recall exactly when it was that Mark and I first came across Peter Holcombe’s photography, though I can tell you that I remember it making an impression on us. It was likely sometime in 2006 or 2007, Peter was a well-established wedding photographer based in Boulder, Colorado and Mark and I were up and coming wedding photographers, working tirelessly to establish ourselves in the...
