This blog needs a shake up. I thought I would be writing here about the strangeness of settling down, of buying everything from scratch, all that post-nomad stuff, but I’m thinking that’s really only interesting to me. If you’re on the road, you don’t care about the ins and outs of getting off the road […]

Photos to Frame, Pt 2
I began posting photos from our past five years of exploring in this previous entry, and, voilà, here are more. The same caveats apply: I’m just a point-and-click photographer, and some of these I love only because of the memories they evoke. Along with the previous set, though, they begin to tell the story of […]
Photos to Frame, Pt 1
As we continue to juggle this complex transition, I’m enjoying the small task of sorting through photos of the past five years, picking out favorites and imagining them as part of our (dream) house in a variety of ways. Maybe a coffee table book, or a large wall of framed prints, or a small collage […]
Eyes of the World
Where a Grateful Dead song, a science theory by a futurist, and this blog all intersect.
A Koan for Writing
(Here’s a post unrelated to travel. The end is where I caption the above photo, which is the point of this post.) You know how one small thing someone says can amazingly ring true. Even if you’ve read about this thing a ton or you know about it theoretically, or whatever, you never really felt […]
Our 2025 Travel Plans (Kinda)
For the first time in five years, I’m going to share our travel plans for spring/summer/fall only broadly here. No detailed map with circles and arrows, no list with dates. Here’s: 1) why not, 2) our plan in broad strokes, 3) my new blog structure for presenting our travels. Seems like a jumble, but stick […]
Surprises from Life on the Road
We’re coming up on five years, which, I know, doesn’t sound like much. But this has been five years of living in 200 square feet, of going to so many places (we’ve stayed in maybe 300 spots?), of navigating through weird situations and beautiful ones. Here’s a list of surprising stuff that you might get […]
Friends at the Heart of 2024
You might remember that, for our 2024 travel, we’d planned on this: We ended up doing this: We zigzagged up and down as we changed plans on the fly, mostly while I tried to figure out what the heck was going on with my health. I’ve been thinking about how to recap the year without […]
Blogging in Dark Times, Redux
I don’t know how to write here after that election. I tried, but I just deleted it all. So, I’m reposting something I wrote two years ago, because you know how history repeats itself. March 10, 2022 As I write this, I’m thinking about the war in Ukraine. Almost two years ago, I wrote about […]
GDTR Press Clippings
I’m partly joking here in that I don’t have real “ink,” as a friend calls it. (He is cited in the news, professionally and often.) If his is ink, mine is more like the smudge berries leave on your kitchen counter. Still, it’s my berry smudge! Airstream Club Magazine At the end of the recent […]
