Why I’m Not Doing The Normal Van Life Thing
A few common questions I’ve been asked this summer are… “Why are you staying at a campground? They’re so expensive!”.“KOA’s are expensive, why not stay at the State Park?“Why aren’t you traveling more?

An Unexpected Adventure To Jekyll Island, Georgia
I've heard about Jekyll Island from talking with fellow Nomad's, reading their blogs and watching their vlogs. I've always wanted to visit the island and I happened to be less than an hour away.

Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville FL

The Oregon Coast Pacific Ocean Scenic Byway Hwy 101
I’ve been hanging out on the Oregon coast for a couple of weeks now and will probably be here for a while longer. I follow the weather and the coastal temperatures are cooler which makes the west coast is a great place to be over the summer months.
