About Us

Welcome!

Hi there! We are the Curren Family. We traveled full time in our Airstream from 2013-2017 and now split our time between our small condo in Teton Valley, ID and the road.

As avid, outdoor, travel and adventure enthusiasts we are here to provide tips, advice, and inspiration to help you develop healthier and stronger family relationships.

Our Top 10, Kid-Friendly Adventures in Florida

Even though we’ve traveled full-time for over 2 years, there are only a few states we feel that we have thoroughly explored. Having spent almost fourteen weeks in Florida this past winter, we feel that we can officially check Florida off the list! There are few spots we missed (Shark Valley in the Everglades for…

Gear Review: The Luminoodle by Power Practical And Their New Kickstarter Campaign

A life with few possessions requires everything to have multiple purposes. That collapsible salad spinner? Also a bowl. And a colander. Single purpose things don’t serve us well, and are quickly dropped from our collection of gear. We have two main types of lights for our adventures. Small area lights solve one person lighting problems,…

We Need to Seriously Slow Down

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

Airstream Kitchen: Italian Meatball Wedding Soup

Its a rainy day here in Arkansas, which is a perfect day for soup! This is one of our recent favorites, although I apparently don’t make it enough. Each time I was asked what’s for dinner, and responded with, “Italian Wedding Soup”, I received an “Ooooh! Yum!  I LOVE that!” comment. Cara is our pickiest…

Visiting Universal Orlando’s The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Our Christmas presents this last year to the kids were tickets to Universal Studio’s Harry Potter World and coupons for Butter Beer. They couldn’t have been more excited to open them on Christmas morning as we had talked about this for months beforehand. Unfortunately, for them, we wouldn’t be going until the end of January so…

  • Great post. Thanks for the information. We are going to visit Universal for the Harry Potter attractions this fall. We will be leaving the Airstream at home so I am preparing for what will be a pretty expensive couple of days. Your insight is helpful as always.ReplyCancel

      How come you are leaving the Airstream? Bill Frederick Park has got to be A LOT cheaper than a hotel and its SO CLOSE to Universal!ReplyCancel

      • Just a time issue. We will have to fly in and fly out and stay in a hotel. Jack’s gunning for a top university and will not miss a day of school. The Airstream would be cheaper and preferable to me.ReplyCancel

    Some awesome photos! We were so obsessed with the butter beer that once we got home we looked up a recipe and made it ourselves (a bit unsuccessfully). Looking at y’alls photos makes me want to go back! 🙂ReplyCancel

      I need someone else to go back and just bring me some fudge!ReplyCancel

  • […] 7. Butterbeer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Fudge, Ice cream, hot, cold and frozen. Visiting Harry Potter Land in Orlando was definitely a highlight for us, as the older kids have read books 1-4, and all three have watched the associated movies. It was enough for them to really enjoy the experience and to be excited about all of the details we found at the park! […]ReplyCancel
