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.
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...
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...
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...
We are so excited to share the news that our first-ever travel book, What A Day: A Baja California Travel Journal, is now available for purchase. If you’re a long-time reader around here you’re likely familiar with our Baja stories. What A Day is a compilation of those stories…daily accounts of what life is life exploring Mexico’s Baja California peninsula in a truck camper...
Last year, as luck would have it, Mark and I pulled into a little ranch in Baja and found ourselves camped right alongside fellow Four Wheel Camper owners. Little did we know, Josh, Darci and their three year old daughter Hannah would become fast friends. After spending three nights camped beside one another, and quickly connecting over similar interests, we parted ways but remained in touch via...
Welcome to Notes From The Road, a monthly recap of where we’ve been, what we’ve been up to, and things we’ve enjoyed over the last 30 days. We hope you enjoy it. June began for us on our property in Western Colorado where we came down off the high of spending 3 weeks traveling to Alaska and began preparing for wedding season. This June marks our 20th year as wedding photographers, a job...
As many of you already know, we spent the second half of May driving to, and camping around, the magnificent state of Alaska. This trip was unique for us in that we left our truck camper behind and instead drove a friend’s truck as we were helping them make the move from Idaho to Alaska. For us, this was a bucket list kind of trip. And of course, we now dream of the day we can...
