The Big Bend region made it onto our bucket list for its State and National Parks. It was only upon arriving in the area that we discovered its delightfully eclectic little towns, which were just as enjoyable and absolutely worth a visit. In this post, we share our experiences and recommendations for our 3 favourite … More Vanlife Adventures in Big Bend Texas: Part 2 – The Towns
Big Bend is situated in a wild, sparsely populated section of far west Texas and named after the vast curve in the Rio Grande, where Texas dips down into Mexico. With a mix of prairie land, desert, mountains, and small towns, the whole area feels like the set of an old western movie. The Big … More Vanlife Adventures in Big Bend Texas: Part 1 – The Parks
Just a few days ago, we dropped into Memphis for 36 hours as part of our road trip from Canada to Baja, Mexico. I’m sheepish to admit that I knew very little about Memphis before arriving (basically Memphis = Elvis + Graceland). Armed with a minimal amount of research and a whole lot of enthusiasm, … More 36 Hours in Memphis – Urban Vanlife Adventures
Welcome to our latest adventure! Slow Sally & Crew are leaving Canada in the dead of winter to drive ~ 15,000 kilometres (that’s ~ 10,000 miles for you Americans) through 3 countries to explore the beaches, mountains, and deserts of Baja, Mexico, and a few gems in between.

We’re back on the road! This year we’re planning to drive at least as far as El Salvador and if we’re feeling extra ambitious, maybe all the way to Nicaragua. I know – this plan throws a wrench in our blog title (‘Slow Sally Goes to Guatemala‘). Oh well, you know what they say about … More Why we Choose to Travel in a Van /// 2020 Adventure: Canada to Central America
This is the last blog post for our 2019 road trip from Canada to Guatemala and back. To avoid any confusion, we arrived home in early June. I know, so slow! – our blog is about 2 months behind real time. I’ve really enjoyed blogging about our trip but now that we’ve reached the final … More End of our 2019 Van Adventure /// Colorado to Canada
In the last blog post, our little crew explored the Earthships of Taos, New Mexico and the Rio Grande Gorge. After spending only a short couple of days in the area, we realized that we needed weeks, not days to explore this part of the state. There was so much more we wanted to see … More Crazy Mountain Weather /// Vanlife Colorado
In our last blog post, we had begun exploring the Land of Enchantment with visits to the White Sands National Monument and the city of Santa Fe. It was difficult to tear ourselves away from Santa Fe but a bucket list item was calling – the Earthships in Taos, New Mexico. I probably just lost … More Slow Sally Does Earthships /// Taos, New Mexico
Hi. It’s been awhile, I know. For those of you wondering, yes – we are back home in Canada. Every time we return home for a few months, I’m reminded of how beautiful it is in Wakefield and the Outaouais and how lucky we are to have a home base here. I would like to … More The Land of Enchantment & 48 hours in Santa Fe /// Vanlife New Mexico
Hi guys! Apologies for the recent radio silence. It’s been a busy couple of weeks – I finished up some contract work and income taxes, we left Lake Atitlan and for the past few days we’ve been exploring Acul and some of the other small villages in the highlands of Guatemala. More about that in … More Vanlife & International Travel with a Dog /// Pros & Cons
