It was around 10 years ago that Chris and I were chatting online in the weeks leading up to our first in-person meeting on October 18th, 2006. During those increasingly deep initial conversations, we were coming to realize that we were attracted to each other for many reasons – and an unquenchable thirst for travel was high amongst […]

Does Visiting All 50 States Mean You’ve Seen the Country?
Some travelers keep a bucket list of items to check off – such as visiting all the national parks, visiting every state or seeing every ball of twine. We really never had a list when we set off full timing. But we did have the ambitious intentions to ‘visit most of the lower 48, Alaska and […]
Tips for Surviving Weekends in Campgrounds
For those who work in a traditional Monday-Friday world, Friday is generally a day of celebration. The end of the workweek, the beginning of the weekend. It might even be a casual day as folks prepare for whatever they have planned for the weekend. You might even take off work a bit early. Weekends are when […]
RVing with Cats
Hey everyone – Kiki here. Chris and Cherie are super busy this week attending the Escapee’s Escapade in Vermont. They told me if I get bored while they’re attending seminars and talking to people, that I should do something useful. So I thought some of you might like to know about RVing with Cats. They hosted a […]
Big RV: Little Generator – Downsizing to a 2500W Propane Generator
If you were hanging around our little corner of the web this time last year, then you might remember we had a few little BUNCH of modifications made to our bus. One of the projects we tackled was downsizing from a 7500 watt diesel generator to a 2500 watt propane powered one. We had a lot of […]
Five Years Living & Traveling in a GM 4106 Vintage Bus Conversion
Five years ago this week, we handed over a big wad of cash to a guy in a parking lot and became vintage bus conversion owners. And, wow.. what an amazing life we’ve enjoyed with our mighty gal, Zephyr. And what a long way we’ve come! Not only do we recognize our five years with […]
Tips for RV Driveway Surfing – Being a Great Temporary Neighbor
When we first hit the road, we started getting invitations to come park in people’s driveways. I found it odd at first. Did these well intentioned folks think we couldn’t afford to stay where I thought RV’s belonged – in campgrounds? I was on a mission to prove we weren’t moochers, and could pay our […]
Running an RV AC off Solar, Batteries, and a Hybrid Boosting Inverter
We’re currently driveway surfing with friends in coastal Georgia, where it’s pretty darn hot (and crazy humid!) as the summer fast approaches. They only have a 15A power outlet on a front porch available for us to plug a long extension cord into, which for many RVs would mean blowing breakers or limping along without […]
Travel Like A Local? or Travel Like a Tourist?
As perpetual nomads, with intentional blurry lines between ‘every day life’ and ‘travel’ – we’re always experiencing new places while technically living there too. But we’re not quite tourists, and we’re not quite locals. Our lives are often confused for being in perpetual vacation mode, a topic we talked about on camera last week. Today, […]
Nine Years On the Road: How Long Will Our RVing Nomadic Lifestyle Last?
Bon Jour from Montreal! Where we just completed our awesome 13-day Canadian cruise (recap coming soon), and are spending a few days in this glorious city exploring before we return home to our RV parked in Florida. Today also marks my ninth year on the road as a perpetual nomad. It’s actually sorta hard to […]
