One of the hardest parts of this whole voyage is taking a break from my friends. Sure, I can promise to keep in touch and so can they but when you don’t have cell service or internet for days and weeks at a time, IT’S HARD! I’d love to commit to weekly phone dates and […]

Meeting other traveling families along the journey
There are many families with children traveling the country full-time in an RV. I don’t know how many families, but more that I expected when I first started looking around for them. There are also a number of families traveling in Airstreams, which is kind of subculture within the full-time RV community. We met one […]
How to manage rental property while traveling full-time?
We’ve talked about our real estate investment strategy and why we rent our home while traveling in the past, and here we are finally addressing how we manage those properties while on an adventure. When not traveling, we manage our own rental properties. We place the tenants, take the calls, and make repairs as needed. […]
Ya’ll I Actually, Whole Heartedly Want to Get Back on the Road!
We’ve stopped back home in Raleigh to get some work done on the Airstream. We got an awesome new awning installed which I can wait to share with you. Any guesses as to what color I picked? While our little home was in the shop, we had them give it a good check up. […]

Want to Know One HUGE Positive of Living in Our AirStream?
No MESS!!! Often when we have space it’s easy to do this….. When living in our Airsteam, we don’t have that option. We each have one small plastic bin of clothing. The kids each have one small plastic bin of toys. After we’re done with anything we HAVE to clean up or […]
How can we afford to quit work and to travel for a year?
We didn’t win the lottery or some other prize. Neither of us has a trust fund. We didn’t inherit money from a parent or rich uncle. We didn’t empty our retirement nest egg or take out a loan to travel. These are some of the ideas that others have conjectured about how we can afford […]
Weekend Camping Trip for Families in Everglades National Park
Exploring the entirety of Everglades National Park could easily take months. There are miles of hiking trails, biking trails, and paddling trails, not to mention hundreds of thousands of square acres of untrammeled wilderness in the mainland park and surrounding islands in the bay. Few people have months to explore an area, and fewer still […]
Tips to Keep the Kids Entertained on Long Car Rides
Yesterday we had our longest travel day by far. We were in the car for over 16 hours driving from Ft. Myers, FL to Raleigh, NC. We only took four, fifteen minute bathroom / gas stops and a 30 minute break for dinner. I’m happy to report the kids did awesome. I think there was […]
