Family Aspects of a Nomadic Lifestyle

Feb 27, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

<— Read Chapter 3: Purge your Stuff, Shed the Anchors  Read Chapter 5: Green Your Travel — Environmental Nomadism —> Family, biological or intentional, is a mighty important part of life. And we often hear the excuse that making family a priority is the reason that people don’t travel as much as they would otherwise like. Whether it […]

Our Propane Free Goal

Feb 10, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 35 Comments

We are deep in the midst of a kitchen remodel this week, and we’ve been posting progress photos on our Facebook page as we go. We’ll do a post with better photos of the completed project later. But because the remodel has involved us permanently pulling our propane powered range / oven, we’ve been getting a […]

The Cost of Leaving Our Options Open

Feb 6, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 7 Comments

We don’t plan our travels much far in advance.  We like to keep our lives open to embracing serendipity – when cool things emerge as potentials, we like having the flexibility to say ‘YES!’. This agility has led to some amazing experiences. However it does have a financial cost. As we often don’t know where […]

January Wrap-Up and What’s Ahead

Feb 2, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 17 Comments

Just a quick, rather disjointed, update. We’re still in Florida, parked in Kissimmee.  Our location is ideal – a gracious friend is letting us park on his amazing land that has full hook-ups. It is such a blessing to have a safe place to leave our home, and a place to retreat to. Without worrying […]

Purge your Stuff, Shed the Anchors – Travel Full Time!

Jan 31, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 21 Comments

<— Read Chapter 2: Affording Full Time Travel Read Chapter 4: Family Aspects of a Nomadic Lifestyle –> We’re conditioned in our society to acquire stuff. Our culture and economy often seems to revolve around this quest. And no matter how large a space we have, we can easily fill that space with stuff.  It seems to be […]

Roadside America – Epic Artists

Jan 24, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 9 Comments

Leonard Knight at Salvation Mountain, Slab City

Over on the Escapee Forums, someone asked what quirky museums RVers have visited in their travels across the USA.  In compiling my response, I realized we’ve started a bit of a video collection of some amazing inspired artists. Join us for a little journey in reminiscing about some past adventures. (If you’re reading this post […]

Four Years Shampoo Free

Jan 19, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 41 Comments

Shampoo Free - No Poo

I love the look on people’s faces when I tell them I’ve been no-poo for over 4 years now. Once I get past the ‘ouch’ or ‘you should see a doctor about that’ or ‘add some fiber to your diet!’ comments – then I explain. I haven’t used shampoo in over four years. I think […]

7 Months in a Bus

Jan 16, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 25 Comments

It’s now been nearly 7 months since we purchased and moved into our vintage bus.  We thought this might be a good time to answer some questions we keep getting, such as: Do you like bus life? How much have you spent on your bus projects? Bus Life vs. Travel Trailer Life First of all, […]

Extreme Rough Break (why our posts may be infrequent)

Jan 9, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 29 Comments

Following serendipity at every turn is an interesting game we’ve been playing for the past several years.  It’s not about taking every opportunity that comes up, but rather creating a life that allows us to both be in tune with the possibilities, and being agile enough to follow the ones we choose. Every so often […]

Bringing in the New Year

Jan 7, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

Last weekend we attended the Arcadia Bus Rally – one of the longest running bus rallies in the country, and certainly one of the largest on the east coast. There were far more buses here than at the BCM Rally we attended back in October in Chattanooga, and much more variety.  It was so much […]
