We love meeting other bus owners. It’s one of our favorite things. You pull into a campground or a parking lot and you see another VW and there’s an instant kinship. A connection. Finding another bus owner is like discovering a distant cousin or something. But that family can be even greater if you admireContinue reading “The wider vanlife community”

Stay tuned…
I’m working furiously (well, maybe I’m working at an on-again-off-again pace) on Season Three of the podcast, which I have slated to drop in mid-November. After traversing 17ish states in the past ten weeks and talking with scores of people (bus owners and admirers and just plain friendly folk), I have to say that IContinue reading “Stay tuned…”
Hello, 1979? We have your bus.
Playlist: Michigan
Michigan holds a special place in our hearts. Neither of us are football fans, so there’s none of this manufactured animosity with us. We will be passing through Michigan twice on this trip. In fact, the second time through will be the last state we hit before heading home. I’ve saved a special track forContinue reading “Playlist: Michigan”
Happy Birthday, Miracle
All the times she’s said yes. Yes, I’ll go to Vermont to look at tiny homes. Yes, I’ll visit you in Switzerland. And Colorado for the Pikes Peak Marathon. Yes, I’ll marry you. Yes, let’s plan on this crazy year-long trip. Yeah, let’s do a podcast about it.
Toronto in review
We only had a minute in Toronto—at least that’s how it felt. (Fun fact: Toronto is the seventh-largest city in North America with a slightly smaller population than Houston. So not everything is bigger in Texas.) We had a nice, relaxing evening sitting on the deck of Peter and Andrea’s home in downtown Toronto andContinue reading “Toronto in review”
Podcast: Jessica
We met up with a fellow bus owner, Jessica Messer, at a winery called MAWBY in Traverse City, Michigan. As we drank our wines, she told us about her adventures in and around Lake Michigan as well as her plans to turn her bus, Poppy, into a professional mobile party service.
Wasaga Beach
Our stay in Wasaga Beach (the world’s longest freshwater beach, mind you) was fabulous. We were hosted by Gianfranco and Kim—the most lovely and hospitable people you’ll ever have the good fortune of meeting. They treated us to two Italian dinners at their home with wines to match. It was the perfect meal and companyContinue reading “Wasaga Beach”
Ontario and Quebec
It’s been a lot of driving and a lot of sightseeing and a lot of meeting people over the past week. We had a magical stay north of Gatineau with some new VW acquaintances, Brad and Susan. They shared their lake home (and their red wine) with us. The fall colors were amazing. Then weContinue reading “Ontario and Quebec”

As part of our partnership with Happy Productions, we call in every Tuesday at 11 a.m. Central Time (so noon for most of our friends and family in Eastern Time). Shawn and Emma, the hosts of Afternoon Delight, ask about our previous weeks’ misadventuresContinue reading “Are you listening?”
