One of the things that we designed our full time traveling lifestyle to accommodate for was being where we need to be. Family and loved ones are extremely important to us. And we recognized that as our parents and grandparents age, there is likely to be more need for us to be there. And such […]
Conserving Water While Traveling Full-Time
There’s some pretty major family stuff up in our lives that is taking our focus, so please excuse our absence from posting much recently and in the coming weeks. We’ll update on that when more is known, but for now – I’m reposting something we did on water conseveration from before this blog was as […]
A Fresh Take on Nomadic Serendipity
A while back, we posted the Serendipity Challenge – to hopefully inspire folks to experience more by planning less. We’ve gotten some excellent responses to it that we’re gathering up (keep them coming!) to share with you.

Travelogue: Austin, Gonzales & New Braunfels
Time frame: March 22 – May 26 Miles Driven: 139 After SXSW wrapped up, we entered into an intentionally still time.

For me, I […]
Our Least Favorite Question: What’s Your Favorite Place?
Over the past years of full time travel, a frequent question we’re asked is: “What’s your favorite place so far?” It’s become our least favorite question to be asked, and we’ve had to get creative in how we answer it. I’ve always hated being asked to name my favorite of anything – colors, food, […]
Three Years Ago Today
