This post will take you on a condensed (really!) version of the journey that we’ve been on for the past couple of months to find our vintage bus. We’ve had many requests to share pictures and stories of the various buses we’ve investigated. Perhaps sharing our process and top contenders might help others who are […]

Farewell, Orion!
On Saturday, May 7 – we watched our beloved 17′ Oliver Travel Trailer and Toyota Tundra drive off after spending an evening giving its new owner a full orientation. Photo by Karen Nace, 2010. It was a truly bittersweet moment, as it was almost exactly 3 years ago that we commissioned its build. Orion, as […]
An Introvert’s Guide to Meeting People While Traveling Full-Time
I test out consistently as a pretty extreme introvert, and I’ve actively worked my entire life to not allow that introversion to rule me by manifesting as shyness. These days, I generally consider myself an extroverted introvert when I’m in my comfort zone of being around a small group of like minded people. And I […]
Things we’re not missing about RV’ing…
As some may have noticed by reading between the lines, this past year some aspects of our RV-based nomadic lifestyle began to wear a bit thin for us. After four years (five for Chris!) on the road together, our ping-pong route between Florida, St. Louis, Burning Man, and San Francisco had begun to develop ruts, […]
Our St. John Cost of Living
While Chris and I don’t stress about trying to follow a budget (our life is too variable!), a data geek like me enjoys tracking expenses and analyzing trends. We have a cost log published going back a couple years, and we know that many people have found it valuable to get a real-world example of […]
Our 2010 Travel Route
It’s always so much fun to compile this map every year (click for 2007, 2008 and 2009). In 2010, we traversed roughly 13,633 miles and 25 states via RV across the good ole’ US of A. We had every intention of traveling into Canada for the summer, and into Mexico in the fall/winter to finally […]

An Epic Camp Nomadia 2010
I’m still buzzing off the energy of Burning Man, and particularly our theme camp, Camp Nomadia. When we first had the vision for hosting the camp in 2008, we imagined a community of full time travelers all converging in one spot to share community, but not infrastructure. After all, us full time travelers are used […]
Travelogue: St. Louis, MO to Black Rock City, NV
Time Frame: August 2 – 28, 2010 Miles Driven: 2825 After a way too brief of a stop in St. Louis, it was time to continue west towards Burning Man. It seems every year we find ourselves in this predicament – way too little time to traverse some of the most beautiful scenery our country […]
