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 […]

Peace & Quiet at Little Pee Dee State Park – Dillon, SC
Oh boy, do I have some travelogue catching up to do! We’re already up in New Jersey, and I’m several stops behind. But, such is life on the road sometimes, there’s just not always time to enjoy it and stop to share it. So, last I left you we had just barely escaped a tropical […]
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 […]
Making Miles North & Staying Ahead of the Storm – Georgia & South Carolina
We left our lovely oceanside site at Flagler Beach with one goal in mind – head north to cooler temperatures! With temperatures reaching into the upper 90s in much of the southeast, we knew it would be many miles before we saw relief, but we had to get them done sometime. Driveway Surfing in Georgia […]
A Day at the Beach: Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area – Flagler Beach, Florida
Ok well, maybe more accurately four days at the beach. We’ve crossed paths with the oceanfront campground at Gamble Rogers State Recreation area many times. We actually have stayed at other parks in the area, Tomoka and Faver Dykes, and very much enjoyed them. As we would pass by via A1A, I wasn’t quite sure […]
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 […]
Two Weeks Catching Up in Melbourne, Florida
Ahhh.. returning from our 3-week adventure up to Canada. A break from routine, even when our normal is pretty variable, is awesome and soul-refreshing. We love the alternate perspective it gives us, which is why we love mixing up our travel styles from time to time. But returning home always has its adjustment period. We […]
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, […]
New England & Canada by Sea & Rail
It’s no secret that we love mixing it up. While we consider our homebase to be a vintage bus conversation that we roam the continent in, we love traveling and exploring by other modalities too. When we bought our bus five years ago (wow, where on earth has the time gone??), we did so with […]
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 […]
