I promised you all a big announcement (and no, I’m sorry, it has nothing to do with wedding bells as so many of you have guessed) it’s way more exciting! We are ready for our next BIG adventure! First, check out this video, then read below for more details!
Alaska to Mexico #1: North to the Future
Now that we are all on the same page, let me answer a few questions…
Sponsorship
Yes, we do still have to make a living on the road – and so we are beyond grateful to have some amazing support along the way. nüCamp RV and Princess Craft RV have pledged to support us. In return, we will be delivering some really great content to them. While they help us pay our bills, we would be ever grateful for YOUR support as well. We will be launching our Patreon page in just a few short days – so stay tuned!
Why to follow
We understand that not everyone is able to travel to the places we go – and even more of you are scared or hesitant to take on such a trip. We want to show you what’s possible – the good, the bad, and the ugly! We’ll be producing weekly video episodes, writing blogs, sharing tips, and generally allowing you all in our backseat! It’s going to be a lot of work, but it will all be worth it if you come along with us.

Watched the Texas Parks & Wildlife YouTube video about you and wanted to offer congratulations on your life camping as a nomad photographer. Wife and I just returned from 4 months in Alaska and the Northwest Territories and we are headed to big bend in a few days. We haven’t pulled the trigger as full time campers…yet, but maybe sometime soon. Awesome photos on your site and good luck in your travels. Any great photos of roadrunners or horny toads?
mandylea
Hey Sean! Congrats on your travels and thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad you caught my special… you are going to LOVE Big Bend! Unfortunately no runners or toads for me, LOL!
