Hello from Panama! After 3 months of travel through Costa Rica, we finally crossed into Panama a few days ago. Costa Rica was beautiful and full of so much wildlife. We’ve seen countless colorful birds, sloths, monkeys, butterflies, iguanas and so much more. But on the other hand, it wasn’t Read more…
Hello from San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico. We found ourselves camping at Petate but this time was way muddier. The hurricane damage was obvious here. Still feels magical with all these palms but the mosquitos were so bad we could only handle one night here. The owner charged us Read more…
Hello from Guerrero Negro, Baja, Mexico! Before we settle down for a few days in town, we make sure we get a decent amount of groceries and purified water. We ended up back at Mallarimo Hotel and RV Park once again. Here is an old blog post from our stay Read more…

In today’s blog, we are going to play catch up from July 2021. Let’s go! … We found ourselves at an aire near Mont Saint Michel in France that has a dump station, potable water, and electricity for a small fee. The kids didn’t mind being in a campground-like setting Read more…
You’ve probably heard this before if you’ve been following our family for a bit. Our initial plan was to explore Europe for a year or two. Yup. That’s it. Sounds silly to hear now that we’ve been here for over three years. And just like all of other “plans” over Read more…
It’s hard to resist taking photos of the little French towns and villages we drive through, especially when the buildings are all painted in varying colors and the streets are lined with cobblestones. We found ourselves camping at a free aire again. An aire in France is a simple place Read more…
