Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]

Travato Van Mods for Living & Working on the Road – 3 Month Full Time Update
It’s hard to believe – we have been in our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G for nearly 3 months as our home base. It all started with wanting to be with my mom back in early August for her surgery and then evacuating for Hurricane Dorian. Since the boat was already hauled out, we decided to […]
How We Hopscotch Our Vehicle Between Marinas
Long time followers know to brace themselves on April 1st around here – you just simply don’t trust ANYTHING my sweetie posts that day. Hopefully you got a kick out of his dream version of how we move our MINI Cooper between ports. However, many of you are probably left wondering just how actually move […]

Dealing with Stress: Ending our Whole30 Diet Hack
It’s no doubt we’ve had a bit of stress in our lives this fall dealing with hurricanes and now the channel marker incident trying to leave the Keys.

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 […]
The Priceless Joys of Free & Cheap RV Camping
When I decided to join Chris on the road back in 2007, I really didn’t understand this whole full time RVing thing. I was used to weekend warrior type camping in my pop-up trailer. I made a reservation at a local state park, paid a fee, showed up, had neighbors 20-30 feet away with a […]
Is It Worthwhile to Renovate an Old RV? Why Not Just Buy New?
Some of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten over the years (particularly during our summer 2015 bus renovation) have been around the amount we have invested in our RV, and more particularly – why didn’t we just go buy a newer RV with all the features we wanted, rather than building them in ourselves? Is it […]

Despite some set backs and continued delays, in the end lots of progress was made – and we’re happy to report, that Zephyr is currently back in the paint booth getting prepped! […]
