Why Chile?

August 2, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

Tap.. Tap.. Tap.. Is this thing on? It’s been a while. While Mark has put no pressure on me to blog this trip, after recently re-reading some entries from our 2016 blog, there were so many things that I forgot from our trip. I was so grateful to have the blog to jog my memory […]

Quitting My Job

March 2, 2016 by Katie Kelley 3 Comments

Me? Well, I’m not sure what I am.  I love the outdoors. I can specifically look back on my summers spent hiking, mountain biking, and rafting in the North Carolina mountains and attribute most of who I think I am as a person (other than my parents) to those camp days. I want my ashes sprinkled […]

How much does it cost to RV around America for a year?

January 28, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

The common questions that we receive about our RV trip around America are “How are you going to do this with kids?” and “How much is it going to cost?”. We’ve still got a lot to figure out about how we are going to do this with two small children, but we have a pretty […]
