    REVIEW: ZERO BREEZE MARK II PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER

    We have been traveling in our van full time for almost 3 years now and able to stay cool and comfy during the hottest months thanks to our well-insulated van and Maxxair Fan; plus, we always travel to places with cool weather (lakes, mountains,..) during summer months to avoid the heat. So we never found […]

    Vanlife Cooking: “Let food be thy medicine!”

    Aside from the wilderness aspect and escaping normality, vanlife for our family is all about the food. God-made, wholesome, organic, clean, and healthy food. What would be the point of living the magical #VanLife if we are not fit, strong and healthy? Life on the road is always changing. We park up in new settings and we would […]

    Dinnerware for Van Life: Luna Nesting Dinnerware Set by Lenox

    Van life forces us to be minimalists whether we like it or not. We know that on our quest to downsize our life and cram it into a vehicle, we need to forget about the full-size versions of things in favor of compact replacements. Cooking for our family is an important part of living in […]

    The Ultimate Guide to the Gongfu Tea Ceremony

    When it comes to tea, or “cha”, “gong-fu” describes the traditional Chinese way of tea making. The “gong fu” in “gong-fu cha” has the same pronunciation as the “kung fu” in “kung fu fighting”, which literally means “skill”, or “dedication”. Like Kung Fu, Gongfu is an involving art that intertwines the spirit with the mind. […]

    How to Throw the Best Outdoor Rustic Boho Mother’s Day Brunch

    There’s no doubt about it—moms are special. They love us every day, and they never stop worrying about us, no matter how old we get. When we think about all our moms have done for us, devoting just one day a year to show them our appreciation seems insufficient. So the least we can do […]

At #brycecanyon dogs are allowed on #RimTrail , all paved baths to viewpoints (Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point, #BrycePoint) and shared park-use path! It’s a perfect place to enjoy scenic easy hikes with my Chloe @chloeandtravel ! The weather is currently so cool here (only 75F, and cloudy/breezy)! Love southern #Utah this time of year

Instagram post 2338166413140776064_485380327 Being sick sucks. But it especially sucks if you’re living in a van. #ad Keeping healthy while living on the road is one of our main concerns about #vanlife. And we all know that true health begins and ends within the digestive system. So one of my van morning routines is drinking @florahealthy Flor-Essence. The 8 herbs in Flor-Essence help tune up and support my detoxification organs (liver, kidney,…) in their jobs of neutralizing and removing accumulated toxins and wastes. Use “CLEANSE15” to get 15% off any size bottle of Flor•Essence at www.florahealth.com #BeFloraHealthy #CleanseHappy
Instagram post 2337668092865479594_485380327 We visited #carmelbythesea just in time to see their new outdoor mural, the #CarmelShell, by artist @marie_clare_ . This new public art serves as a symbol unique to #Carmel and one that honors a  sense of place, artistic heritage, and history. Next time when you are in Carmel and want to catch a glimpse of this mural, stop by this corner – Mission and 6th.

Although the overlook trail to #mcwayfalls is closed, there are still spots along California State Route 1 where you can stop, enjoy a beautiful view of the fall, and take pictures! Just type McWay Falls in your google map, it will direct you to a vista point parking and from there walk north for 5 mins! Walk past #juliapfeifferburnsstatepark (the park was also closed when we were there) and you will see the fall on your left)!

Instagram post 2312269414881347655_485380327 Almost without fail, the first question I get when I tell someone that I live in a van is “Where do you shower?” The answer is easy! There are tons of ways! 🚿 🚿🚿
.
1. Indoor shower: When we set out to build ”The Ark” into a full-time living tiny home on wheels, we knew we HAD to have a full shower with hot water (Many vanlifers are okay with not having a wet room)! We just value our privacy and the ability to shower whenever we want to (5-6mins per person, not letting the water run continuously)! .
2. For longer showers, we have many options: gym membership at 24-hour fitness (access to showers, steam rooms, saunas, bathrooms, and workout equipment), friends’/family houses, nature baths (hot springs, streams, rivers,...), campground facilities, recreation centers,...
3. As part of my job, I’m often invited to stay at hotels/Airbnb’s for collabs (2-3 times a month, 2-4 day per stay) so that definitely helps with our shower situation too! (Before vanlife, we paid almost 2k per month for rent+utilities and we were rarely home 😅) ! .
