Meet Porkchop and Lucy We were blessed with the very rare opportunity to be part of a couple’s first day on the road as full-timers – and they were kind enough to let us interview them on camera. Porkchop and Lucy were tired of the city they were living in, and were trying to choose […]
A Rare Oliver Travel Trailer – For Sale
As many of you probably already know, we traveled full time from 2008 – 2011 in a very sweet, decked out, 17′ fiberglass egg custom constructed for us by Oliver Travel Trailers. We sold ours last year in an unsolicited offer, which prompted our moving on to a vintage bus. These trailers were made to […]
Date Night in St. Louis
The heat wave has continued for much of the US, including record breaking heat in St. Louis. We have to admit, we’ve gotten a bit stir crazy sitting in the bus all day trying to keep cool. The drone of the roof top air conditioners alone is enough to be maddening. This is exactly the […]
Nomadic Romance, Sex & Relationships

Push For Heat
Last week was delightfully pleasant in St. Louis and we thought we were doing good with our plan to stay away from extreme temperatures this summer. Imagine our surprise when the forecast started looking like this: 108?!? You’ve got to be kidding us. Sure enough, our digital thermometer (placed in the shade) topped out at […]
And the SerenDIPity Winners are…
Wow, you guys didn’t make this easy on us! We had a dozen entries into our SerenDIPity Challenge Contest that we issued at the beginning of the month, and they’re all worthwhile checking back in on and giving a read. When we decided (on a whim) to do this contest, we thought we’d get a few […]
Happy 1-Year Busiversary!
Wow. Has it been a year already? One year ago today – after an extensive cross country search by Amtrak train, and 2-days in the roasting hot 120+ degree Arizona sun trying to get her ready for a test drive – we bought Zephyr – our 1961 GM PD-4106 bus conversion. When we found her […]
Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – Live. Work. Dream
Meet Jim & Rene In 2007, their dog Jerry was diagnosed with cancer and lost one of its legs as a result. Wanting to give him the best possible life, they sold their home and business, bought a small 5th Wheel and hit the road. Jerry has since passed on, and now three legged companion […]
Surprise! We’re in St. Louis!
I haven’t mentioned the primary reason I am thankful that our stay in Austin got extended. The Roller Coaster Ride No, this part isn’t about some awesome amusement park we went to. If you’ve been following along this year, than you probably already know that ‘something’ was up with my dad’s health at the beginning […]
When Serendipity Knocks
When last we updated, we had extended our stay in Austin as long as Pecan Grove could keep us – until Friday the 8th. On Thursday evening we gathered with our friends in the area, and said our ‘until next times’ once again. Friday morning, we both woke-up and started the begrudging task of preparing […]
