Finishing the Raad Ny Foillan

Where are my hiking people at? If you’re an avid hiker, explaining how satisfying it is to finish a multi-day hike is probably unnecessary. But if you’ve never gone on a multi-day hiking or walking trip, maybe you wonder if it’s worth it. Why would anyone want to just walk along a trail for 3,…

Hiking the Isle of Man

One of the main goals of our trip to Europe included hiking around the Isle of Man. This goal often prompts the question of where? Or why? Where is an island in the Irish Sea between Ireland, Scotland, and England. And honestly, the night before we started the hike, I found myself revisiting the question…

Camino de Santiago Stories: The First 100 Miles

Hey, long time no post. We’ve been here on the Camino for 2 weeks now. And, well, it’s been a journey so far. I wish I could say in these two weeks we walked every day and have done really well. But, well the truth is, it’s been an adjustment. You can catch up on…

Countdown to the Camino de Santiago: 2 weeks to go

Where has all of the time gone? First, I should say that I meant to publish this post 2 other times before. I kept starting it and never finishing it. I just haven’t gotten around to it between the training, the packing, the planning, work, and starting to freak out just a bit about leaving….

How to Train for the Camino de Santiago in 12 Weeks

We had this great idea, winter in Washington so that we can work, save $$, and train for the Camino. Enter atmospheric rivers and snow. The last two months here have felt like the least productive two months. Maybe it’s because we spent the year prior to it planning and buying a van, building it…

Dealing with the Unexpected & Preparing for the Camino de Santiago

The Loneliest Road This past week, we published 2 Vlogs highlighting our time crossing Nevada on Highway 50, also known as the loneliest road in America. You can watch the first one here. On that drive, we really had a good time, but we also kept running into the problem that everything was closed. Most…

2022 Plans: Where in the World is Next?

Hint: A Long Walk One thing that Will and I do a lot is walk. We walk our dog, we hike, and we like exploring cities on foot. A lot of people have asked us what our favorite parts of being in the van have been and I think a lot of what we liked…

Visiting Yellowstone in 2 Days

One of the places we wanted to visit, that prompted the eastbound direction of travel in our second month, was to visit Yellowstone National Park. We didn’t know much about Yellowstone other than what you see a lot of people share: Old Faithful and Bison. For example, we did not know that Yellowstone is 4…

Vanlife in the Northern Cascades National Park

One thing that is different between me and my husband is that I am not an extrovert. But it doesn’t mean that I don’t like talking to people. I do. But usually like 2 at a time and about big ideas and serious topics. I don’t like small talk and I don’t like big groups…
