In this post, we’ll share with you what we got right, what we got wrong, and what you need to know to experience the best that Death Valley has to offer. … More What You Need To Know About Death Valley – Vanlife Adventures

Since posting information about Walter on our blog and on social media, we’ve received lots of questions about him.

August 9, 2019

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 Adventure: Colorado to Canada In a Van

Vanlife in Colorado: Crazy Mountain Weather & Gorgeous Scenery

July 22, 2019

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 Vanlife in Colorado: Crazy Mountain Weather & Gorgeous Scenery

Hola mis amigos!  As our last blog post left off in Central Mexico – you might be wondering how we got to Guatemala so quickly.  The answer is… we actually got here somewhat slowly – Sally’s usual pace.  We’ve just been distracted by Guatemala (this country seems to have that effect on us) and I’ve … More ‘Schooled’ by Travel Part 2: Oaxaca, San Cristobal de Las Casas & Lake Atitlan

Real de Catorce: Cobblestones, a Ghost Town & Peyote Hallucinations

May 9, 2018

Real de Catorce As we rattled along the cobblestone road, I began second-guessing our choice to visit Real de Catorce. We were lured by the promise of a ghost town and the vague idea that it was ‘en route’ from San Miguel de Allende to Hidalgo. I had been admiring the desert landscape as we … More Real de Catorce: Cobblestones, a Ghost Town & Peyote Hallucinations

Waterfalls & Urban Exploring in Mexico (part 2): Grutas Tolantongo & San Miguel de Allende

April 28, 2018

Grutas Tolantongo Canyon We awoke early in the morning, found some pastries and coffee at the ONLY café open in Cholula at 9:00 am (what?! – this seems to be typical in Mexico) and waved goodbye to the friendly old man who runs the funky little parking lot. We were off in search of adventure … More Waterfalls & Urban Exploring in Mexico (part 2): Grutas Tolantongo & San Miguel de Allende
