If the world ever decides to go full apocalypse mode (or, you know, just another epic storm or maybe even a zombie invasion), our genius plan is simple: pack up the RV, drive deep into the wilderness, and confidently announce that we’ll just “live off the land.” Truthfully, we’d probably last about three days before … [Read more…]
Working remotely from an RV is totally doable. Actually, it’s better than doable—it’s amazing. Wrapping up a call and stepping outside to a mountain view? Taking your lunch break by a lake instead of at a desk? Not being stuck in the same place every day? Yeah, it’s pretty great. But—and this is a big … [Read more…]
There’s something freeing about RV life. Everything has a place. You only bring what you need. There’s no abundance of clothes or gadgets—just the essentials, and somehow, that’s enough. Maybe even more than enough. The Shift to Minimalism Before hitting the road, I expected the downsizing to be hard. But honestly? It wasn’t. There were … [Read more…]
You’d think after all our time RVing, we’d have campsite reservations locked down. We thought we had this one locked down. I was sure of it. And yet… somehow, I got the dates wrong. So there we were, rolling into Marfa, Texas—this tiny, artsy, middle-of-nowhere town—when we realized: we don’t actually have a place to … [Read more…]
The Keweenaw is my happy place. Seriously. It’s an untouched, natural playground, a peninsula surrounded by the powerful waters of Lake Superior (Gitchigami) and packed with history, adventure, and some of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. It’s got Finnish roots, deep mining history, and more snow than you can imagine in the winter—like, … [Read more…]
We love national parks. We love U.S. public lands. Even Frank is a Bark Ranger. On our trip across the U.S., we hiked, camped, and explored so many national parks, forests, and monuments. Keweenaw National Historic Park, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Redwoods, White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, Mount Rainier—the list … [Read more…]
RV life has a way of keeping you humble. No matter how many times you’ve done this, mistakes still happen. There’s a lot to remember every time you set up, break down, and hit the road, and sometimes? You get a little too comfortable. You assume you won’t forget anything… and that’s when it happens. … [Read more…]
The Instagram Expectation vs. The Reality Before we started RVing, we had this pipedream: we’d wake up, open our door, and step out into a private, secluded campsite on a river. Maybe there’d be a natural pool made out of rocks, crystal clear and perfect for a morning dip. Total peace, no neighbors, just nature. … [Read more…]
Every year, I swear to my accountant that this is the year I’ll be organized. I’ll track every receipt, write things off properly, and file early. And every year? I do the exact opposite. Today is already February 7th, and the only tax-related thing I’ve done is open one random 1099 and immediately get stressed … [Read more…]
This is a bit different than my usual content, but it’s something that’s been on my mind since the election. As someone who supports public lands, national and state parks, public schools, single-payer healthcare, reproductive freedom, and protecting our planet, I’ve been thinking a lot about what the next four years could look like for … [Read more…]
