Take a break and check out this magical, photogenic AF, Arizona vacation
We landed in Phoenix and stayed there for a day, then we road tripped up through Sedona, Flagstaff, and finally ended in Page (our main destination). We even crossed the border into Utah for a day. We are both from the East coast, so neither of us have ever seen desert, let alone cacti that big!
Absolutely everything we own is in our car: Our life living in an RV full-time
My husband and I hit the road about three weeks ago to live full-time in an RV. Our plan is to travel around the Western U.S. (and a bit of Canada) for the next year. We are pumped! So we bought our RV from Craigslist. It is a 1989 Minnie Winnie, Class C style (meaning it has a bed over the cab), 26′ long. Her name is Daisy.
Slab City and the Salton Sea: Our trip to a “very offbeat part of California”
We traveled from Washington state to Niland, California, which is about an hour and a half out of Palm Springs. Then we went to Slab City and the Salton Sea. If you want to check out a very offbeat part of California this area is for you…
Drive along on a foodie-fueled vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota
A marriage quest that we have decided to embark on is to visit as many National Parks as we can over the course of our marriage. We thought, “Why not start in our own state?” Yes, why not. We drove across the great state of South Dakota to the Black Hills.
Road tripping through South America with a newborn
Having a four-month maternity leave sounded great, but staying at home all that time was wearing me down. I am serious travel bug/wanderlust case and by the time our child turned one-month-old I was starting to get restless. So when my husband decided to quit his job a month later I told him: “If you are quitting, we are traveling!”
Sarah and Nathan’s wild weather, Yellowstone to Glacier National Park roadtrip
We drove to Yellowstone National Park, then onto Glacier National Park — originally planning on going into Canada and Waterton Lakes, but alas, we forgot our passports! We planned on camping the whole time, possibly even doing an overnight backpacking trail, but the weather did NOT cooperate with us.
How a year on the road saved my life and helped me grieve
My fiancé has always loved travel, and was saving up for a year long road trip cross-country to take with his brother after he finished grad school and his brother got out of the army. When his brother passed away in Afghanistan in 2010, our lives were shattered pretty completely. His death impacted everything, and left us in the center of this desolate vortex of grief. Not knowing how else to proceed we kept moving and decided to still take the trip together. So on a hot sweltering day in July, we packed the Volvo and drove off.
Get your kicks on this Americana-fueled road trip on Route 66
Technically, our trip was all of Route 66 (through: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California), plus the driving it took to get us to the start — we came from Nate’s folks house; so, Ohio and Indiana. And then from California to Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois. We spent the better part of a month living out of our car and tent, traveling across America together.
