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

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

Travelogue: Austin, Gonzales & New Braunfels
