When I decided to embark on full time nomadism, I couldn’t have picked a worse economic time. I had a [...]

Cherie had visited Carlsbad Caverns in the mid-80s with her family on a road trip, and Chris had never been. We considered it a must stop on this journey across the country. It was even more impressive than Cherie had remembered. Direct link for the video

On our way into Carlsbad Caverns, we opted to route through White Sands National Monument in southeast New Mexico, expecting it to be a quick stop. We thought at first.. how interesting can sand dunes be? Afterall, I lived on the coast of Florida for 13 years – I’ve seen my share of [...]
