Although I do fly when necessary, this is my preferred mode of transportation. I much prefer to take my home with me!
Consumed by Wanderlust
One of the stops on my only trip abroad. London
right before the 2012 Olympics. The opportunity to travel oversees thanks to being a Girl Scout leader. 🙂
I have always enjoyed traveling and have taken advantage of opportunities that came my way, but I have a long list of places I want to see and things I want to do. As I get older, I have realized that satisfying my wanderlust is a large part of my BEST LIFE.
Next week I will embark on a three week journey to mark various things off my bucket list. It will all start with attempting my first marathon, followed by a road trip to satisfy some of that wanderlust!
Past Adventures
Here are just a quick few images from some of my past adventures. I will share more about past trips in the coming months but for now I am getting ready for my next big adventure – Route 66 and the GRAND CANYON! That adventure begins in 7 days!!!!

After the Missouri trip, the RV came home with a full tank of new memories — and a long list of small projects I’d been meaning to tackle. This wasn’t about fixing a broken RV. It was about making the RV feel like mine. After months of traveling in it, I had a better idea…
I wasn’t the one paddling 340 miles down the Missouri River. I wasn’t sleeping in a kayak, watching the miles tick by, or pushing through exhaustion. I had a different job – I was support crew. A group from church was taking on the Missouri River 340 — widely recognized as the longest continuous, nonstop…
July was a reminder that not every adventure involves hundreds of miles of driving. Sometimes adventure looks like baseball games with friends, kayaking close to home, helping people chase big goals, and enjoying the ordinary days in between. But there was one thing still waiting for me. My RV was still sitting in Wyoming. After…
For a long time, when I thought about adventures, I pictured big trips — long drives, new places, a lot of miles. But lately, adventures have started looking a little different. Sometimes they are just a Jeep ride away. Sometimes they are a quick weekend trip with no real plan other than exploring somewhere new….
After spending Thanksgiving in Key West last year, I couldn’t wait to head back again. There was something special about returning to a place where I had already made memories — another Thanksgiving with family, another road trip, another chance to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. This year, I planned to make…
After months of getting the RV ready — new curtains, a new converter, a living room that finally felt like mine — the countdown was over. It was time to go see what this little home on wheels could really do. My best friend and I left home on June 10th, heading west toward Reno…
