The way that Josh and I live may seem quite strange or extreme to some people. While we don't have a home of our own and live out of a suitcase maybe my life isn't that different from yours. Like you have a space to take care of, mine just folds up and rolls down... Continue Reading →
Fashion?
If you have not read "At Home" by Bill Bryson I would highly recommend it. Both Josh and I are fans of Bryson, having put away most of his catalog. Last year we listened to the audiobook version of "A Brief History of Nearly Everything", if you want to learn a little physics there is... Continue Reading →
All Work and No Play
We have been out on the road too long. I this every year, don't realize we need a break until we need a break. Starts with eating too much take-out or skipping a landmark. Then we start spending the weekends inside our hotel rooms and eating fast food. We have been out since April, living... Continue Reading →
Sticker-tastic
When living with nearly all of your belongings with you in a semi truck's cab it is best to be a bit picky about what you have. Josh and I don't travel for fun, we work. My office is what fits into my backpack and this tote. We call it the "Office Box", keeper... Continue Reading →
Stuck in Indianapolis
We featured the song Stuck in Indianapolis by Bottle Rockets this week, sort of setting up this post. It’s a fun song that we completely identify with. This musician has been touring the country and is now stuck in Indianapolis after his van breaks down. Not able to move forward in miles or life he... Continue Reading →
Feast or Famine
It seems as though when we see our friends it's either feast or famine. We just spent two weeks in Denver and spent a good portion of that time with friends. However it has been more than a year since we have spent time with them. Each year we make it to Greensboro but it's... Continue Reading →
Pack Your Bags Baby
After spending most of the winter in Detroit and not in a truck I feel like I've forgotten how to travel. Booking hotels and rental cars, finding restaurants and parking lots is such a huge part of my job that you would think I'm a pro now. I thought I was! Evidently if you don't use your...

Rent a Ride
There are some definite perks to our lifestyle, like earning enough hotel and travel points that we get a huge break on vacation costs. We also get a chance to stay at resorts that would otherwise be too pricey. One fun perk is tied into our transportation. While we do travel around in the truck,... Continue Reading →
Suitcase Love
What does it mean to “live out of a suitcase”? For some it refers to a feeling of never being settled; that for some reason you don’t send every night in your own bed. For others it might be a reference to not fully unpacking in a new living situation. For it is just how... Continue Reading →
Travel Like a Rockstar
There are very few "first times" for us when it comes to travel anymore. We have had it all go wrong or go right. Last week was the first time we flew with Josh's guitar. The airline's website was actually easy to follow and spelled out very clearly what we were to do. Although from... Continue Reading →
