April has been a life changing and challenging month for us. The months leading up to it were pretty darn tough and intense too. Between my father and the business turmoil up – we’ve pretty much been in high-alert crisis mode for way too long. The past few weeks have obviously been focused on everything […]

Our House is in the Shop (Living in a Parking Lot)
One concern that many people have about life on the road is this – how will you handle things if your ‘house’ breaks down? This particularly comes up when considering the ‘towable vs motorhome’ question for the ideal full time RV to live in. We’ve had both towable trailers and now a bus conversion motorhome. And […]
Feeling Safe while Traveling Full Time
<— Read Chapter 13: Lake of Continuity Read Chapter 15: Mobile Internet Options —> There are said to be three base driving forces in humans — food, reproduction and fear. Advertise with any of these three, and you speak to something so primal in humans, that they have viral power. Keeping safe is motivated by fear — it’s […]
Our Bug-Out-Bus
From 1994 – 2006, I lived on a barrier island on Florida’s Space Coast. A beautiful location to be, that had relatively few hurricanes. There was a story around these parts that NASA specifically selected this area for their space port because of a meshing of conditions that repelled big hurricanes. So for much of […]
Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – The Organic Sister
Meet Justin, Tara & Zeb When we first met this family back in April 2010 at the NuRVers Texas Gathering, they had just hit the road 2 months prior. They had originally intended to spend a year traveling the country, working odd jobs (handy man work, massage therapy, organizing, etc.), while they searched for a […]
Our Month on an Island Soon Comes to an End
It’s hard to believe, but we’ve now been stationary for a month on this wonderful island community of Cedar Key. And I’m not just referring to having the bus parked here. Neither Chris or I have ventured inland, and have only traveled as far as our feet or boat could take us. Compare that to […]
Beware the Overages of March
Ever since Brutus killed Ceasar, the middle of March has been an ominous time of year. Our Story of Bandwidth Betrayal We love our Millenicom 20GB 3G/4G Hotspot Plan (which uses Verizon’s unrivaled LTE network), but at LTE speeds – 20GB can go pretty darned fast. And this is the biggest downside of life with blazing fast […]
Chattanooga and St. Louis
We completed our 380 mile driving day from the Savannah area to Chattanooga, and then another 450 mile repositioning into St. Louis last weekend. Time on the road was mostly uneventful, except for a potentially scary encounter in Atworth, GA (just north of Atlanta). Moving from Savannah to Chattanooga We had pulled off I-75 in […]
The Journey Continues Upriver
Since we last left you, we’ve continued to follow the Lewis & Clark Trail northward through Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. And it seems each location we arrive at is better and better. Weston, MO It never really stopped raining on Wednesday when we were leaving Kansas City, and we weren’t too terribly excited […]
December?!?
Ah, December. How did you get here so quickly??? That means we’ve now entered our last planned month of temporary stationary living in the Melbourne, FL area. I tell ya, two months have gone by fast. We could easily talk ourselves into another couple months of still time – we can be so highly productive […]
