The date has been put on the calendar. May 10, 2007. This is the day that I will leave the foundation of having a physical home and become nomadic. *gulp* Exactly 204 days after Chris and I met in person for the first time in California, he and I will intentionally set off on a […]

How Much Does it Cost to be a Perpetual RVing or Cruising Nomad?
How Much Does it Cost?? One of the most common questions RVers and cruisers are asked is how much it costs per month to fund a full-time perpetual traveling lifestyle? The answer is… it depends. It’s highly variable based upon your personal style, travel goals, income, expenses and preferences. So sorry, we can’t just give […]
Pouring Rent Into the Tank: A Perspective on Fuel Costs for Full Time RVers and Boaters
A life of perpetual motion in your own home that moves is a fantastic way to explore the world around us. We’ve enjoyed nomadic travels since 2006 in several types of RV and now also a motor yacht. One of the very first concerns you’ll hear voiced about RVs and boats is how much fuel […]
1 Year ‘Loopiversary’ – Why So Slow? And What Has it Cost?
Last month we toasted a year of owning our motor yacht Y-Not (a Bayliner 4788). And this week, we nod our heads to remember shoving off from Punta Gorda, FL to start our American Great Loop Adventure after spending several weeks learning our boat systems, getting training and deciding we were ready for our first […]
Great Loop Boat Hunting – Chasing our Dreamboat
For those who may have missed the post announcing our next adventure – our plan is to soon start dividing our time between life cruising the back-roads of America in our bus Zephyr, and cruising America’s Great Loop in a boat. But first – we need to find the boat! This post is the first […]
Coming Over the Mountain – Continuing to Explore New Mexico
After our delightful and restful mini-vacation in Truth or Consequences, we moved back into our bus. Thoroughly cleansed after our summer renovation chaos, we considered it a restart to our adventures. One of the personal conclusions we came to during our reevaluation, was that we had overcommitted ourselves professionally. We had spent much of the […]
Continuing to Explore New Mexico – Santa Fe & Truth or Consequences
Before the year gets away from us (wow, it’s mid December already????) and we start our year end wrap-up posts – I wanted to catch the travelogue up on our adventures. We started this blog as a place to record our journey, and we strive to keep that focus going forward. Before we went on social […]
Zephyr’s Summer 2015 Renovation Hit List
On Saturday morning, we left Zephyr in our rear view mirror as we departed Elkhart in our Mini Cooper, like nervous parents dropping our kid off for summer camp. This summer, Zephyr will be attending Camp Master Tech where she will be whipped back into shape. Four years ago our GM 4106 vintage bus conversion […]
New RVing Kitchen Gadget Additions
A mistake we made in our first year on the road was buying designated camping gear for our kitchen. We learned our lesson, living in an RV doesn’t mean camping. And you don’t have to compromise. This is your home, and you can have all the amenities of any kitchen. There’s nothing that necessarily makes a […]
Back to Boondocking: Keeping Warm while Chilly Camping
In our continuing series on boondocking, today we’ll be sharing some our tips for keeping warm when it gets a bit nippy out there. Boondocking is staying in places without hook-ups (water, electricity or sewer) and generally out in the boonies’. You might also hear terms like wild camping and dry camping to describe it. Now, […]
