“I don’t know if I should go?” my 9-year-old son, Jiraiya, says to me as I drive up the steep Kolob Terrace Road toward Wildcat Canyon Trailhead. The sky is just turning from pink and orange to a light blue and my own nerves are causing me to question the same thing. This was …

Aligning Choices with Purpose Have you ever accidentally hiked 18 miles with an unnecessary 30 pounds on your back? 🤦🏽♀️ No? Just us. On a warm Thursday in June, in the South Cascades of Washington, the fantastic 4 (Robyn, Danny, Isabelle, and I) set off on a trail with the intention of backpacking to a …
I don’t recommend driving RVs into Wyoming in the winter. That doesn’t mean I won’t try. I just don’t recommend it. March 1, 2023 The house we stayed at in Lander had a pretty long driveway. When we arrived, it was a little slick but barely manageable enough to pull in our 30′ class C and …
The Aquarius Age is heatin’ up! If you’ve been following us for a while you may have heard us throw around this term a bit and I want to get some misconceptions out of way (just maybe). I get it. It’s hard to hear someone nonchalantly throw around astrological terms without assuming it’s spiritual witch …
I was always aware of the negative affect of social media but breaking away from it myself has turned out to be a far more shocking experience than I thought it would be. So I quit and here’s what I realized…
Did you ascend with me today? I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved that today has been slightly uneventful. I was prepared for chaos and blackouts just in case, but the only thing weird that happened to me was that I slept 11 hours last night (which I really can’t remember the last time …

I love intensity. Wanna challenge me in push ups, go all day without eating, or hike all four passes of the maroon bells four pass loop in one day? It’s on. But sometimes my body says NO. Sometimes enough is enough and I need to let go of my expectations and commit to wellness through …
My calves can’t take this. I glance up and see the enormous tents the WSL has set up on the beach, but it doesn’t feel like it’s getting any closer. I can’t breathe right. I know at any minute Tatiana is going to go into full meltdown mode and I’m scared.
Over and over, before we even set foot on this trip, I wondered, “Should I even go to Bali? Bali’s just not me.” I’m so stoked that you stuck around for part 2 of this blog because part 2 is so much better than part 1!
Over and over, before we even set foot on this trip, I wondered, “Should I even go to Bali?” Bali’s just not me. We knew better. I’d already learned this lesson (4 years ago in Nicaragua) and I didn’t feel the need to learn it again. On April 23rd we traveled from New Zealand to …
November 2, 2017… I have a motto (one of many)… “Wake up excited to start each day.” Today, I didn’t abide by that motto because we were headed to Barcelona. I know what you are thinking, Who wouldn’t be excited to see Barcelona? Well, me.
We’ve been traveling the world for 8 years now. My husband doesn’t (or at least didn’t) like to travel. It caused a lot of stress on our relationship because I wanted to travel and he didn’t. Now, he loves it. In this blog I am sharing steps you can do when your spouse doesn’t want …
We prefer resting on forest roads, delighting in vast pullouts. Embracing solitude, we navigate remote terrains, build campfires, and stargaze. Traveling off-road for miles, chasing the allure of “free camping.” From mountains to forests to high desert, like any dirtbag, we are in constant search for adventure and nature. Buttttt … we don’t have a …
Oh, you poor thing, you live in an RV with your kids, I’m so sorry is certainly a thought that pops in people’s mind when I tell them that our family of seven lives in a thirty foot RV. Little do they realize that this conscious choice to live life as a nomad is driven …
Hell ya! I was thinking as I banked around the last bend of the paved bike path and saw the bar on the opposite corner. I was so excited to finally be to the bottom of the hill. As I come to a stop my cohort, my 16 year old daughter, Gabi, comes to a …
Living a nomadic lifestyle has its merits. No two days are ever the same, I see parts of the world at one time I only imagined existed, and the freedom of not being tied to material possessions leaves me with energy to nurture my own mind, body, and spirit. However, being nomadic can also …
