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.
If you’ve ever wondered how we go about finding places to camp, our strategy may be different than what you would expect. When we first got our truck camper, we were entirely motivated by seeing cool sights that, over time, had been added to a mental list. Fourteen years later—and six years into living on the road full-time—seeing cool places is now a byproduct of how we go about finding places...
A month ago, I never would have guessed we’d be where we are now, tucked into a forest high in the mountains in Arizona. If you read the February edition of Notes From The Road, then you know our re-entry into truck camper living got off to a rocky start. I was seven weeks post-op from major surgery at the time, and my body wasn’t quite ready for the pace of life on the road. However, that all...
Hello everyone! As many of you know, our unconventional lifestyle is rooted in intentionality. Mark and I have long had a tendency to make choices that may go against the grain but instead align with our core values for a life well-lived. In that spirit, I’ve been doing some “digital decluttering” the last few months. While I love sharing the ins and outs of our life on the road...
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...
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...
