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. So many of you have already sent us well wishes on Instagram and Facebook – thank you so much for that, we are feeling very … More 2020 Vanlife 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 Adventure: Colorado to Canada In a Van
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: Vanlife in 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
Translated directly to English, Sierra Gorda means ‘Fat Woman Mountain Range’. To be fair, I believe the ‘woman’ part is really just the result of Spanish grammar… I suspect the intention of the name is more along the lines of ‘Fat/Large Mountain Range’. Although the English version of this translation doesn’t result in the most … More Sierra Gorda: Why You Should Visit the Fat Mountains – Vanlife Mexico
Yes – we got food poisoning! Very sh#%ty (ha-ha, get it?). And happened right after we were bragging that we never get sick when we’re travelling in the van… should have knocked on wood. More about the food poisoning once I get you guys caught up on our travels. /// In our last blog post, … More Dios Mio – We Got Food Poisoning! Vanlife in Southern Mexico
We get a lot of people asking us what it’s like to travel from Canada to Guatemala with a large Nordic mutt. We also meet a lot of Vanlifers who’ve come across stray or abandoned dogs in the US, Mexico or Guatemala and anguish over whether they should adopt the dog and bring it with … More Vanlife & International Travel with a Dog: Pros & Cons
Those of you who have been following our blog know that we’ve spent the last few weeks hanging around in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. It’s a sticky place for Vanlifers and once we arrive here, it’s always hard to leave. BUT, we recently had a great opportunity to meet up with some friends in Antigua, Guatemala … More Stepping Away from Vanlife: Exploring Antigua, Guatemala
For many years, Marc and I were avid tent campers. We camped throughout the US, Eastern Canada and even along Australia’s southeast coast with our little 3-person tent and whatever car we had at the time. We were very proud tent campers and didn’t envy RVers one bit. We loved cooking and eating outside and … More From Tent Camping to Vanlife: Mexico & Guatemala Travel
Marc and I both agree that travel, and all of the experiences that stem from it, have pushed us further out of our comfort zone than just about any other experience in our lives (with the exception, perhaps, of Grade 1). When we’re at home and in our routines, it’s easy to get in a … More ‘Schooled’ by Travel Part 1: El Potrero Chico, Queretaro, Peña de Bernal & Parque Nacional El Chico
