I’ve lost count how many countries we’ve been to the last 17 years traveling together. One thing I do know is that being outside and exploring new places in wildlife is where you’ll usually find me. I love travel to remote places, villages, islands and places off the beaten path are usually my favourite. One place that always stand out in my travel memories were the many boat rides I took from mainland Thailand out to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. The water in Thailand is always the perfect blue green colour no matter the weather or season. The entire boat ride passes countless islands that Have large rocks, cliffs, the green trees, white beaches...they are just stunning. Most of...
Our RV story- We have been full time RVing now since November 1st 2018. We have our big Horn 5th wheel named Valhalla that is 38 feet long, has three slides, a fire place, walk-in closet, all oak doors, cupboards and cabinets and is huge and heavy. Adam setting up camp on BLM land in Arizona with our big 5th wheel Valhalla At the end of August 2019 we bought a smaller 5th wheel named Moose. The idea with this RV is we’d be using it for work, when we travel to all our markets, festivals and events instead of staying in hotels constantly. Moose is much smaller 28 feet, one slide out and about 5 thousand pounds lighter than...
This was actually a really difficult blog for me to answer and narrow down. After living and traveling around Asia for nearly 14 years, I have a ton of favourite places, memories, people, trips, hikes, dives, islands, and experiences. But there are a few that really stand out. Thinking back one of my favourite trips was actually our last in Asia before we moved back home. Myanmar was actually a place we were ready to move to after our first year in China teaching English. We had accepted jobs in Yangon at a school and emailing back and forth to sort out details. And suddenly the emails stopped. So we spent the summer being beach bums in Thailand...
To be honest when we left Canada on our first trip in 2018 trip with our big 5th wheel trailer we didn’t have a real plan, we didn’t know exactly where we were going, I’d only driven our massive 350 truck once and felt it was too wide for the road, Adam had only driven with the trailer attached once, but we had a pile of maps and a GPS that was newly updated with 3 countries of maps. That night we ended up in Battle Creek Michigan it was cold, snowy and dark and guess what we found just off the highway....Walmart! Our first night on our big trip and we were going to sleep in a Walmart parking...
As we all know the weather has a mind of it’s own and you never know what’s going to happen. So I’m going to share a little about how we deal with weather. Wind The first thing your going to learn about RVing is that wind will make your day or it might just make it miserable. If you’ve ever driven in the south west of America then you’ll know what I’m talking about. Last year we drove south in early November and were so excited to Roswell that we didn’t even think about the wind. This was a huge mistake as we spent a few days heading into 30 - 40 mph winds towing our Big Horn 5th wheel. ...
