Ode to Appliances With the prospect of leaving Houston fast approaching, I was fully aware of just how much I would miss all of my friends & family and my fantastic, spacious apartment with whom my little love affair had steadily grown over the last year. These are the losses you understand and prepare for. You spend extra time with… Read More
The Photography Home Office I’m so excited to finally share pictures of the inside of the Melodic View travel trailer! These have been a long time coming since it’s purchase in January of this year. We made several modifications to the Keystone Springdale Summerland Mini (what a mouthful!) and are super happy with the way everything turned out. I… Read More
30 Days Gone I hesitate to speak of all the setbacks we’ve encountered over the last month for fear their retelling will somehow shake me more than their physical experience. From the last few days in Houston, as the Biblical rain set in and we dragged the remainder of our drenched belongings into the various vehicles and storage… Read More
The Value of Giving Up Iceland is a fantastic and beautiful country – there’s no disputing that.

A Photography Workshop…on Wheels? If this sounds as skeptical to you as it first did to me, then you and I are in the same boat! During 2015, I finally started to wrap my head around what full-time RV life will be like: all the adventures and all the challenges. I still haven’t experienced it, but I’ve grown accustomed… Read More
Seriously. EVERY single time. Picked up the RV in Austin. Slide is fixed! Celebrate! Before we got out of the city limits, front tire blew out and 4 hours spent arranging for a new one. And this is AFTER the toilet sprung a leak.… Read More
Up & Away The drive out through west Texas – exiting through El Paso – and then up New Mexico to Albuquerque was gorgeous. As it turns out, days with ‘great weather’ out in the desert tend to make the long drive tedious and boring. However, when there are storm clouds on the horizon, things get interesting and colorful.… Read More
