In the last two years of traveling we really haven’t made an effort to attend any conferences or workshops. Pre-travel I would attend at least one photography workshop a year, and Sam would often have 2-3 tech conferences he attended. All part of keeping up our skills, networking, and getting inspiration for new projects or…
I really do like having a loose, pre-determined schedule. Our days are usually loosely planned out (school/work, exercise, lunch, tablet/quiet time, adventure, dinner, bed) as well as our general plan for the next few months. If you look at our Travel Schedule you’ll see we have a loose plan through the year 2017. I think…
Sometimes the best plans are the most unexpected ones. Our original spring plan involved visiting the Very Large Array in NM, heading through Flagstaff and Page, AZ, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and then driving north. Instead, however, we decided to spend more time in Arkansas, and take a direct route from New Mexico to…
Did you misspell spontaneous on purpose for some reason?

For those of you that have seen the inside of our Airstream closet, you know we don’t have much room. Its not even the size of a normal person closet, yet we cram 5 people’s worth of clothes in it. Top a small closet off with the extreme dislike of shopping and its a wonder…
That clothing line looks adorable and so versatile, I would wear that Kyle Wrap with everything! My boyfriend had a similar (though shorter!) adventure with his parents when he was a child and he refers to learning more during that time than years of “regular school” frequently, so I could see this sort of life unfolding for me as well- happy to have found you here and on ig and fb to follow! Thanks!ReplyCancel
I’m a true believer in needing opposition in all things. Its hard to experience joy when you don’t know sadness. Beauty is all the same unless you’ve also seen something ugly. Travel and living adventure is fabulous, but only if you also have downtime. We had a great time in Florida this winter, and I…
I look forward to seeing phase 2 unfold for you and your family! We too are in this FT thing for just 2-3 years and then…well, that’s what we are trying to figure out… Where do we want to live? Do we want to still travel and just own a condo or 2 in fav cities? What about community? We’re only 9 months into our journey but we’re in a similar spot… What does phase 2 look like? I’d love to meet those who do a hybrid approach!ReplyCancel
We’re planning a two month cross country trip for next summer; two months seemed like an incredibly long time….until I actually started plotting everything out and trying to figure out how long we could/should stay at each stop. I guess it’s reassuring to know that even if we were traveling full time I’d be dealing with some of the same dilemmas! Excited to hear more about phase 2 🙂ReplyCancel
Hang in there, Jess! I totally understand that feeling where you lose motivation, but it’ll come back. Enjoy this short period of rest so that you can hit the ground running when you move on again.
Good luck with the pageant!

Thanks Kate! Yup! Time to rest up.
Awe, Jess…I (we) can relate, hang in there for this too shall pass! Brad Anderson (Island Park, Id.)
