View of the Grand Canyon

Travelogue: Grand Canyon National Park, AZ

April 5, 2017April 17, 20173 Comments

We spent the last week of March visiting the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It's truly an amazing location that draws tourists in the millions for good reason. To see the canyon is to witness the incredibly formative and enduring power of nature. Unfortunately, visiting Grand Canyon National Park was also 160 miles of … Continue reading Travelogue: Grand Canyon National Park, AZ

Though we visited southern New Mexico back in January, we hadn't yet taken the bus across the northern half of the state. This time around, we made it a point to see some of the sites along I-40, and El Malpais Conservation Area & National Monument were definitely near the top of our list! Dubbed … Continue reading Travelogue: El Malpais Conservation Area, Grants, NM

Finding Campsites & Places to Stay

We've logged just over 11,000 miles in our bus now. It's been a heck of a ride, and one that we can't wait to continue. When we first set out on our journey, we weren't quite sure how to find campsites and places to stay in our bus. We've since found a wealth of online … Continue reading Finding Campsites & Places to Stay

So, You Want to Buy A Bus

February 22, 2017April 3, 201723 Comments

Since we started this bus adventure we've occasionally heard from folks who are interested in doing something similar but aren't necessarily sure where to start. Converting a bus into a comfortable tiny home on wheels is a lot of fun, but be warned, it's also a LOT of work. We're not experts, but we have … Continue reading So, You Want to Buy A Bus

Travelogue: City of Rocks, NM

February 6, 20173 Comments

Our original intentions in visiting New Mexico were to spend time in Santa Fe & Albuquerque, but January didn't exactly bring the best weather to the northern half of the state. Instead, we opted to spend some time in the southwestern corner in an effort to bypass some of the worst winter weather. We Built … Continue reading Travelogue: City of Rocks, NM

Visiting White Sands National Monument was at the top of our list of things to do while in southern New Mexico. It's such an incredible, ethereally beautiful landscape and we couldn't wait to take our bus there!

Bus Living: Frequently Asked Questions

We get a lot of questions about the bus - both its construction and our experience living on it - and want to take time address many of the ones we hear most often. What type of bus do you have? We have a 1991 International School Bus, model 3700. She's old, but still sassy. … Continue reading Bus Living: Frequently Asked Questions

Travelogue: Guadalupe Mountains National Park

January 21, 2017January 21, 20172 Comments

New Year New View With 2017 on the horizon, we decided to put Texas in the rear view mirror and head west - but not without first visiting Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Texas isn't exactly known forĀ  mountain vistas, so it's excusable that you might make the mistake of discounting its potential for alpine hiking … Continue reading Travelogue: Guadalupe Mountains National Park
