  • Then and Now: Celebrating Two Years as Nomads

    To sum up my thoughts after two years on the road…grateful. Then We moved out of our apartment and into our travel trailer on July 23, 2023. Our lease was up, and it made sense. We had been purging and donating our belongings for months leading up to our launch. We had also acquired our Read more

  • Optimistic New Year?

    “Happy” New Year feels like a big commitment right now. How about an “Optimistic New Year?” Also, it seems that the nomads in us are getting antsy to travel again, but this area near Tacoma, WA has so much to offer and we love it! Even More Budget-Friendly Activities What a luxury to be on Read more

  • Sleepless and Solace on the Oregon Coast

    All the things that make the Oregon Coast amazingly beautiful and at times disconnected is exactly what I needed this week! Throttled with No TV at the Perfect Time We drove a couple of hours north on my new favorite highway, the 101, where postcard views are around every corner. We have settled at a Read more

  • Part-Time Tourists on A Budget

    Believe it or not, as full-time RVers we do not spend each day doing touristy things like we would if we were simply on vacation. Our camper is our house.

Rainier. Once in the gate it is about 15 miles Read more

  • Mature Readers Only…This Might Be Dirty! Leave No Trace

    Have you heard about the bag of Cheetos that literally threatened the balance of nature at Carlsbad Caverns? Greg and I witness a similar issue everyday as campground hosts and in our nomadic travels. (Sigh) Great or small we all leave an impact wherever we go. Erich B. Koenig, NPS What Does Leave No Trace Read more

  • 14 Months as Nomads and Still Going Strong!

    Where Have We Been For the Past Six Months? We have been in Washington State for six months! We have met great people and are in awe at every incredible view! Our cats, Nemo and Cleo, are still travel champions and have been enjoying their Catio View which currently includes many delicious-looking chipmunks. Campground Hosting Read more

  • Time Flies! Updated Catio Views from the Desert!

    Apologies to anyone who might be following us on our adventures. Time has gotten away from me and now I’m playing catch up with keeping you updated! I am not going to try to provide a daily recap, but here is a summary of where we’ve been since we left Oasis State Park in NM! Read more
