This is the last blog post for our 2019 road trip from Canada to Guatemala and back. To avoid any confusion, we arrived home in early June. I know, so slow! – our blog is about 2 months behind real time. I’ve really enjoyed blogging about our trip but now that we’ve reached the final … More 2019 Road Trip: The End
In the last blog post, our little crew explored the Earthships of Taos, New Mexico and the Rio Grande Gorge. After spending only a short couple of days in the area, we realized that we needed weeks, not days to explore this part of the state. There was so much more we wanted to see … More Crazy Mountain Weather /// Vanlife Colorado
In our last blog post, we had begun exploring the Land of Enchantment with visits to the White Sands National Monument and the city of Santa Fe. It was difficult to tear ourselves away from Santa Fe but a bucket list item was calling – the Earthships in Taos, New Mexico. I probably just lost … More Slow Sally Does Earthships /// Taos, New Mexico
For many years, Marc and I were avid tent campers. We camped throughout the US, Eastern Canada and even along Australia’s southeast coast with our little 3-person tent and whatever car we had at the time. We were very proud tent campers and didn’t envy RVers one bit. We loved cooking and eating outside and … More From Tent Camping to Vanlife /// Mexico & Guatemala Travel
Hola mis amigos! As our last blog post left off in Central Mexico – you might be wondering how we got to Guatemala so quickly. The answer is… we actually got here somewhat slowly – Sally’s usual pace. We’ve just been distracted by Guatemala (this country seems to have that effect on us) and I’ve … More ‘Schooled’ by Travel, Part 2: Language, Culture & Simplicity /// Southern Mexico & Guatemala
Some people call us cheap. The polite ones call us “frugal”. But I’ve come up with a new favourite description for us… “value-driven”! Most of our friends will still keep calling us cheap and that’s ok – we’ll take it as a compliment 😉 We’re always looking to get the best bang for our buck … More 5 Tips for Maximizing Your Vanlife or RV Campsite Budget /// North Carolina – Texas
Finally – we’re back on the road and back to blogging! It’s been a really busy start to the trip and I’m behind on the blogging but really looking forward to getting back to sharing our travels with you guys. This year the blog is going to be a little different. Our posts will still … More Vanlife: Travelling Can’t Always be a Vacation /// Cape Hatteras, NC
Leaving the little town of Hidalgo, NL was difficult, as it is every year. There’s always a reason to stay longer – “just one more day”! After one last latte at El Buho (and one last lovefest of cuddles for Walter by everyone in the café), we headed south for Guanajuato, GTO. It was an … More Guanajuato: Camping with a Million $ View
After a few amazing days of free camping on the Bolivar Peninsula, we took a short ferry ride to Galveston, TX for a day of sightseeing. We were so pleasantly surprised by the character of the historic district and harbour. It was a part of Galveston that we hadn’t seen before and we had previously … More Dramas & Crossing the Border to Mexico
Reluctantly and with the goal of making up some time, we left Savannah after just one day of ‘speed sight-seeing’. As soon as we drove south out of Savannah the temperature climbed and snow and ice gave way to clear roads. It was a long but easy drive to Cape San Blas, FL and we … More Waking Up to Beach Views
