Wow. I just looked at our last post, and it was just over two months ago. Oops. The lack of posting certainly doesn’t convey the abundance of activity in our lives. So the good news is the reason for our absence is simply because we’re having way too much fun. So first, let’s get […]

Retrospective: 2015 – Retreat, Set Boundaries
For all the awesome that 2014 was in terms of productivity, adventure and community – we paid for it in spades in 2015. We came into the year on a high. We were creating things, things that mattered and were being well received. By spring time Xscapers was launched to the world, and our role […]
Retrospective: 2014 – It Takes a Village
You know in your head, how you can have two stories – and not realize they are deeply intertwined until you go to write them? When I was rough sketching this series out, 2014 was going to be about launching things – but I was struggling to find the lesson. The real lesson wouldn’t come […]
Retrospective: 2009 – Community
Leaving friends, family and community behind to hit the road is honestly, tough. As an introvert, I crave a few close deep connections over lots of lighter ones. And I value continuity and regular interaction. And I didn’t have much of that left in Florida when I met Chris. Much of my own community had […]
Reconnecting with our RVing Roots at RVillage Rally 2.0

With Y-Not hauled out in Jacksonville for routine maintenance items (bottom paint, thru-hulls, anodes, etc) – we loaded up Blooper for some van adventures. We had anticipated that we’d only need to fill in a couple of weeks, but Lamb’s has been backed up and didn’t inspect our thru-hulls immediately. It was determined that a […]
16th Nomadiversary: Celebrating Sweet Sixteen!
What is it with the passage of time? It seems like it was forever ago that we first got vaccinated, as chronicled in my 15th Nomadiversary post last year. But really, it was just over a year ago. Last year – I was noting that we had spent just four nights outside of Florida in […]
Eighteenth Nomadiversary: Time To Embrace TikTok?
Today marks EIGHTEEN years since I first set off on the road, trading a San Francisco apartment and a Silicon Valley career for a life of adventure and exploration. So how has it been going? Time to settle down? Mission accomplished yet? Hardly. If anything – it feels as if I’ve been going around in […]
2020 Travel Route & Year in Review
Maybe ‘travel route’ shouldn’t be so prominent in this year’s review post? Oh well, we’ll go with it. At the end of each year, I always go back and read last year’s Year in Review. And I just had to laugh. As far as our travels in the year ahead — just as we had […]
