Welcome to our blog!

For the past seven years, we’ve been exploring the country in our Airstream, meeting incredible people and making unforgettable memories. One question we’ve often encountered is, “Do you have a YouTube channel or blog?” We’ve always answered “No” — until now.

This blog is our leap into sharing our adventures. A digital diary of our past and present experiences, an ongoing documentation of our progress toward achieving our dreams of off-grid self sufficiency on a hilltop in Maine. A living document we’re creating for ourselves, our family, & friends.

We invite you to follow along! Read about the lessons we’ve learned from our travels and life on the road, the joys and challenges of living, working, and homeschooling our four children in an Airstream and our next chapter – building our off-grid homestead on a hilltop in Maine. We hope our stories inspire, inform, and entertain.

Your thoughts and stories matter to us too! Feel free to reach out, share your experiences, or just say hello. Thank you for stopping by, and welcome to our blog!
