We got a little antsy waiting for the Airstream to come out of the shop. The trailer was stuck for about a week while we waited on some special order parts. I decided it was time to shave my head, like I always do before big adventures because shorter hair is much easier and less […]
Leaving Behind My Girls, Squad, Tribe…..whatever trendy words we’re calling it.
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 […]
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. […]

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 […]
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 […]
Are we investing for the future while we adventure travel? (Updated 2022)
The most common questions I receive about our year of adventure relate to finances. How much does it cost? How can you afford it? What about your debts? I’ve always considered money discussions taboo outside of family or business, but in the context of our adventure, I feel it’s important to share financial details to […]
How are the kids doing?
I am very much enjoying my time with Jane and Wilson. I can’t believe how much they have learned and grown as tiny people so far. Over Easter we spent some time with my parents in Fort Myers. My mom teaches fourth grade so Jane and I decided to bake cookies and take them to […]
