    OUR 30-DAY CALIFORNIA-IDAHO-UTAH-ARIZONA CAMPERVAN ROAD TRIP ITINERARY

    This is probably the longest campervan roadtrip itinerary that I have ever written. We did the following itinerary in 3 months (October-December/2021). One of #vanlife perks is that we get to choose our own adventure, no pressure – see as many or as few of the sights as we like. Skip some landmarks and make […]

    Renaissance Esmeralda Resort Spa: A Desert Oasis

    It’s no secret that I am completely obsessed with Palm Springs. For years Palm Springs has been a California desert retreat, known for its modern and chic style. There have always been plenty of reasons to vacation in this Southern California haven: sunshine, spas, hiking, golf, art, and mid-century modern architecture.  When it comes to Palm Springs […]

    Where to See Stunning Spring Bloom in and around LA

    Spring is my favorite time of year in Southern California. Everything is blooming and it’s time to burst out those sandals and floral dresses and get ready to smell the flowers. My friends often tell me how much they want to see spring blooms but they always plan it too late. Every year is different and […]

    Death Valley Photo Spots

    I had been wanting to visit Death Valley for a long time, and this year I seized the chance to visit this unique national park (only 2 hours from Las Vegas) on my Nevada roadtrip. You might think that Death Valley is dull and boring (by the name of it); nope, Death Valley National Park […]

    EXPERIENCE FALL COLORS IN THE EASTERN SIERRA, CALIFORNIA

    Having experienced fall in all its glory in Maine 3 years ago, I was not expecting to be much impressed by fall colors in Eastern Sierra. But a week spent driving up California 395 from Los Angeles to Mammoth Lakes in the fall changed my mind in a hurry. Majestic mountains, meandering rivers, gorgeous lakes […]

    7-Day Itinerary | Grand Teton-Yellowstone-Glacier National Park Campervan Roadtrip

    There’s no better way to see the United States than by taking to the road. Since we started our vanlife we have realized that there is so much of our own country that we have never seen before. Certain US road trip routes are more popular than others; we’ve all heard of Route 66 and […]

    California Campervan Road Trip: Cruising Up Highway 395 from LA to Lake Tahoe

    You’ve heard of Route 66. You know about Highway 1. But what about Highway 395? Highway 395 is our family’s favorite roadtrip in California. It is the road that parallels the Eastern Sierra’s and provides access to some of the best hiking, lakes, and hot springs. And the fact that this area is not as well […]

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 😅) ! .
