Our tickets are booked – we head back to where our RV is parked in Florida on April 5, ending our wonderful winter season in the US Virgin Islands. We’ve been trying to shift focus to considering what life might look like for us upon returning stateside. We’ve been considering the range of desires we […]
Life on the Road
Washed Up on Drunk Bay
Just an easy 10 minute hike west of the Salt Pond Bay beach on the Coral Bay side of St. John, is Drunk Bay. Despite its name, this bay is not named for being the spot where St. Johnians come to party. But rather, the name ‘Drunk’ is taken from the Dutch Creole word for […]
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 […]
St. John’s 8 Tuff Miles!
This past Saturday morning I ran in the 8 Tuff Miles race up and over the island of St. John – starting in Cruz Bay and ending on our side of the island in Coral Bay. It was an incredible experience. We first heard about the run back in October when we were researching heading […]
Sex and Work on the Beach
Oh, what a dream a laptop lifestyle seems to be. Grab your electronics, find a beach with good wireless bandwidth and spend the day with an amazing office view, scantly clad beachcombers, sounds of waves lapping up on the shore and perhaps a fruity tropical drink by your side. All while getting actual work done, […]
The Countdown is On!
A couple weeks ago we made the realization that our time (as in, time to just us) on St. John would soon be coming to an end. With the arrival of an out of town guest joining us in running 8 Tuff Miles tomorrow (an appropriately named run that crosses the island from Cruz […]
Answers to Your Questions
One recent evening we asked on Twitter & Facebook for questions you had for us. Many where things we’ve addressed before. So seemed like a great time to put together a post that helps you explore our archives from our past years of travel. Q 1: How can I earn an income on the road, […]
This means war!!
Oh boy. Sure. My people post all about their amazing adventures on the beaches around St. John here in the USVI. But have they told you about *my* life here? They took me to the beach one day. It wasn’t fun. Do I look amused? Those waves are scary!! But there are fun things to […]
Kinda Sorta But Not Really in the USA
Part of our appeal in wintering in the St. John was that it’s a US Territory in the US Virgin Islands – thus not requiring nearly the amount of logistical challenges as living in another country might pose. No visa, passport, currency exchange, postal logistics, pet quarantine or language barriers, for instance. And while we’re […]
Adventures in Room 404
A bit over a week ago I was buzzed over Skype by my friend Ewan Spence, an award-winning podcaster, Cthulhu tamer, and kilt wearing international man of mystery.
Ewan asked me if I’d like to be his guinea pig first interview for a new podcast concept he was trying out – “Room 404“.
