A couple weeks ago, on a warm but windy day, I smiled (behind my mask) and said hello to a man who was walking up a ledge that led down to the salty area I passed on a walk at the park. Park is a strong word. A piece of land that covers an old…
I was driving the Tahoe last night, Jeremiah was passenger, when he said, “you need this exit,” and pointed to the exit practically behind us. “This exit?” I asked, “like, right here? This one?” Yes. This exit. And, with that, I crossed two lanes of freeway and took the exit. 18-months-ago-Sasha would have said, “we’ll…
I tried to avoid writing this blog. The reason is twofold: one, I had told myself I was writing a series, and shouldn’t interrupt said series – but I’ll get back to that next week. Two, I just didn’t really want to talk about the COVID-19 crisis that much. Truth be told, I wasn’t sure…
Now that you’ve seen a bit about what full-time RV life is, you might be thinking, when can I hit the road? Well, you’ll need an RV! So, your next questions might be: what type, and how much do they cost? For part two of this series, I’m addressing some of the major questions regarding…
We have had so many questions lately about how we make full-time RV life work for us, what it’s all about, and a ton of detail-oriented questions about everything from our water storage capacity to how we choose where we stay to internet questions. In fact, the internet might be what we’re asked about most!…
We’re in day nine of our social distancing/stay put measures. And, in fairness, I lost my mind by day four. We both consider ourselves relative introverts, although if you ask me, Jeremiah is not. At all. So the fact that he’s taken this in stride a lot better than I have goes to prove that…
Passion. Does it define you? What are you most passionate about? A billion years ago, or maybe just five, Jeremiah and I put our noses to the grindstone and didn’t look up for 3 years. And we’re about to do it all over again. We’re in a different location this time (a motorhome and not…
I have unfairly judged Bakersfield to be the butthole of California. In November 2018, I experienced my first look at oil fields. I’d never experienced them at all before – and they were unsightly. Alien to me. And I got my first glimpse right here in Bakersfield. So, without thinking much about the city itself,…
Ten days in Mexico in an RV was long enough to feel like I had eaten too many street tacos, but not quite long enough to feel at home. That’s true for a lot of places we go. When we stay a week or two, it feels like vacation. Longer, and it can start to…
And, just like that, we’re heading to Mexico. I should back up. We’ve been holding our breaths, trying to figure out where to go from San Francisco. Back East? Up North into Canada? Not in early February, thank you very much. We have a departure date from the Bay area set on January 30th, and…
