Heading out of Santa Fe at last, we cruised towards the Bandalier National Monument, a dry collection of canyons and mesas near Los Alamos. It’s also the ancestral home of the Pueblo peoples, a collection of Native American tribes occupying this area of the southwest for the last two thousand years or so, and their […]
Meow Wolf
Leaving Felecia’s on Thursday, we headed to Meow Wolf, a difficult to describe artistic immersive experience in Santa Fe. When you enter the…exhibit? installation? experience?, you find yourself in what appears to be an old Victorian house in California. But as you read the newspapers and other artifacts around the incredibly detailed rooms, you learn […]
Santa Fe
Our adventure has kicked off splendidly, despite a small series of unfortunate equipment failures. As planned, we picked up our van at airport parking, where the couple we had loaned it to to make the one-way trip down to the southwest had left it. They left us a sweet note and some small gifts from […]

Tweaking and Optimizing
Our upcoming trip to the southwest will be our longest stretch yet living out of our Roadtrek 190 Popular camper van: three to four weeks. Prior to this, our record was back in December of 2015 when we bought our previous van (also a Roadtrek 190 Popular) down in San Diego and clocked twelve days to […]
Cash Flow Positive Travel
We do a fair amount of traveling, and when we travel, we travel a fair amount: in addition to the odd week and long weekend here and there, we’ve done two three-month treks across Europe, a month in Amsterdam, and now we’ve got a three week adventure coming up across the southwest. We are not, […]
One Way Ticket
Later this month, we’ll be setting out on our longest camper van trip yet: three to four weeks to make a one-way journey home from Albuquerque to Seattle. The one-way part was our first bit of inspiration. We knew we wanted to explore the American southwest: the prehistoric grandeur, great orange and red temple spires, […]
Eclipse!
When I heard there was going to be a total solar eclipse in driving distance of us, it was an absolute must do. It was August 2017, and we decided to make a week and a half trip of it, toodling down in our van from Seattle, through Portland to visit friends and meandering our […]
Amsterdam 2017
We spent the month of July renting a small apartment just off of Vondelpark in Amsterdam. We bought bikes on our first day and, I believed, managed to cover every square foot of the city and then some. The time zones worked out perfectly for my remote working situation: I would spend days exploring the […]

Business took me to Miami this week, landing in the Sunshine State just as the Blizzard of 2016 was retiring to the Northeast. The weather, jealous of that much-hyped darling of newscasters’ fancy, was chilly by Floridian standards, highs around 50℉, but clear blue, so I decided to skip the art deco tackiness of Miami Beach and explore […]
