We’ve spent the past several weeks in the Melbourne, FL area (which is where I lived before I hit the road full time with Chris). Obviously our main purpose in being here has been to be with my folks during my dad’s treatments. But we have been making time to get out and explore some […]

Bus Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel
The month of February had us with the opportunity to tackle some more bus projects. The availability of Chris’ nearby uncle Brian, who is a licensed building contractor, shifted our focus to kitchen & bathroom remodeling. After we first got the bus in June 2011, we did some basic kitchen updating that was meant to […]
How Many Similarities Can You Spot?
We’re working on a more detailed post with our recent kitchen and bathroom remodeling, as well as an updated video tour of Zephyr’s interior. In the meantime, I thought it’d be fun to share this before & after picture: Feel free to click on the photo for a larger version. The first photo was taken […]
The Sink-Free Lifestyle
Our recent bus remodeling included a new bathroom countertop. We were perplexed with what kind of sink to put in it, as the counter is a very low 30″ tall. Given the small space of the bathroom, we didn’t feel we wanted to bring the counters up to a more modern & usable height and […]
February Rolled On By
Wow. Seems like a blink of the eye, and already another month has rolled by. And, this month we actually did a little bit of rolling around ourselves. Pinellas Park Visit With my dad’s treatment plan underway, we decided it was a good time to get our nomadic itch scratched and see other parts of […]
Our Propane Free Goal
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
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
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 […]
Four Years Shampoo Free
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
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, […]
