I love putting these compilation posts together! Each year I’m amazed by how many places we lived in just that one year and how freaking far we traveled. This year we went from southern Texas, up through Central U.S., into Canada, around Alaska, then back again into the U.S. and down to Texas. It was […]

When You’ve Done So Much You Forget It All
That image up top is from three years ago today, the first night we slept in our new home. Okay, it was in the dealer parking lot in New Jersey and our next-day destination was a storage lot in Maryland, but still. That feels like a lifetime ago. When someone asks me about a particular […]

Our Second-year Nomadiversary
Yep, two years ago today, we left Tracy’s house and took off in the Airstream. What a shocking and terrible and adventure-filled, wonderful year that was. On that anniversary, for my own amusement I compiled one photo per month in this post: first-year nomadiversary. The next year included a homecoming reunion with everyone we miss, […]

Our One-year Nomadiversary!
As of today, March 20, 2021, we’ve been on the road a full year. I could blather on and on about what I’ve learned (a damn lot), how I feel about it (all in all, fantastic), and I could get sentimental. Don’t I do that enough here, though? Instead I’ve created a calendar, one photo […]
Seven Months: What I’ve Learned about Living in a Small Space
Yep, we’ve been in the Airstream for seven months now. We’ve been stuck in one campground for two of those, and for the rest we’ve traveled up and down the Midwest. I’ve learned so much about how to enjoy daily life outside, how to help hitch the trailer more efficiently, how to dump tanks, all kinds […]
One-month Anniversary
As of today it’s been one month exactly since: I retired from the magazine. We left our house in Maryland. We started our dream of living in the Airstream. We parked here at this campground in Virginia, not realizing we’d be here much longer than a weekend (kind of like a three-hour tour). There’s a […]
