• I Attended the Van Life Summit!

    The Van Life Summit is a virtual conference that is put on each year by Project Van Life. The past few I’ve forgotten to register or I’ve missed it because of my work schedule, but this year I was finally able to attend. When it came up in my email, I instantly knew I had…

  • Travel Goals – Louisiana

    Travel Goals – Louisiana

    There’s so many things to do in this world and so many places to visit. I’m hoping to check off the lower 48 off my list while I’m on my journey (so far I’ve been to 8 states including Colorado). Today, I want to talk about the state of Louisiana and all that I’m excited…

  • Travel Goals – Florida

    Travel Goals – Florida

    Coming to you hot and fresh today, I’m talking about Florida. I can’t believe I haven’t talked about Florida yet! Partially due to all of the attention Florida is getting with back to back hurricanes but also heavily influenced by 2nd Try releasing their Miami scavenger hunt, it’s time. I’ve never been to Florida and…

  • De-Mystifying the Toilet: Using the Bathroom on the Road

    One of the most-asked questions for van lifers is “how do you use the bathroom?” Bathroom routines are not an oft-talked about topic, so when your lifestyle strays from what is expected, it leads to even more mystery. Using the bathroom on the road is not as hard as you may think, though, so I’m…

  • Travel Goals – Massachusetts

    It’s been awhile since I’ve written down some travel goals, so welcome back! I struggle making good lists when I’m not feeling inspired, so when the inspiration hits I must put metaphorical pen to paper. That’s exactly what happened when I started planning a birthday trip to Salem, MA for Halloween. Rather unfortunately (but not…

  • Travel Goals – Wisconsin

    Travel Goals – Wisconsin

    We’re jumping straight into the deep end for this one and starting off talking about cheese! Nothing is as infamous about Wisconsin as cheese, so of course everyone needs to get their cheese on when visiting the state. Wisconsin Cheese Obviously, there are so many different places to find cheese, but these are some tried…

  • Travel Goals – Rhode Island

    Travel Goals – Rhode Island

    I absolutely love making these lists for small states. Everything is so compressed into a small space that I can visit a higher concentration of places. It makes it so easy to get a great scope of the state as a whole. This time I’m focusing on the smallest US state, Rhode Island! What was…

  • Travel Goals – South Dakota

    Travel Goals – South Dakota

    I don’t usually do Travel Goal posts back to back, but since the Dakotas are the first pair of states I’m writing about, it just felt right! I also found a few times that while I was exploring things to do in North Dakota, people would consistently mention South Dakota. They each deserve their own…

  • Travel Goals – North Dakota

    Travel Goals – North Dakota

    A few factors made today’s post different than the other states I’ve created travel lists for. First, North Dakota is one of the 5 least populated states in the US and second, unlike some other less populated states, North Dakota is neither small (looking at you, Vermont) nor densely covered with National Park sites. In…

  • Travel Goals – Washington

    Travel Goals – Washington

    Washington is a state loved by many for obvious reasons – beautiful coast, gorgeous mountains, lush greenery, bigfoot. Right along with the other Pacific Coast states, this one will be a true gem to visit! Bigfoot Washington isn’t the only state (by far) to have bigfoot sightings, but it is the most common place to…
