OUR Route
Welcome to our master RV Living Travel Map! Track our 5-year journey through full-time travel, snowbirding, and stationary RV living! For five incredible years, our RV was the backdrop to a massive life adventure. Every single pin on this map represents a place we called home, a scenic view that took our breath away, or an unexpected detour along the way.
Our five-year journey evolved through a few different chapters—from wide-open full-time travel to chasing the sun as snowbirds, and finally settling down into stationary RV living. Right now, this page serves as a visual index of our basecamps, roadside stops, and campgrounds. Below the map, you will find our route broken down chronologically. I am currently working on linking these locations to the adventures I’ve been sharing.
📝 Behind every pin on this map is a real story—and let’s be honest, usually a funny one. From navigation mishaps to campground chaos, I’ve documented the hilarious realities of tiny living on the road. Stay tuned as I link each stop to its matching misadventure!
🗺️ Year 1: The Full-Time Travel Chapter
We kicked off our journey by jumping straight into the deep end: 365 days of full-time, non-stop travel. This first year was all about exploration, adapting to the tiny living lifestyle, and covering as much ground as possible. From the coastlines of the West to the landmarks of the Midwest, this phase taught us everything we needed to know about life on wheels.
Moving to a new camp every few days meant constant planning, navigation teamwork, and learning how to fix things on the fly. It was an exhausting but exhilarating crash course in nomadic living.
After a year of constant motion, we shifted gears into the snowbird lifestyle. Instead of moving every few days, weeks or months, we learned to slow down and follow the good weather. We spent our winters parked in Florida and our summers in Illinois. This balance gave us the best of both worlds: the freedom to travel without the burnout of constant packing and hitching.
Slowing down our travel pace allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in local communities, discover favorite neighborhood spots, and appreciate the changing seasons without the constant rush of the highway.

🎓 Years 4 & 5: Stationary RV Living & School (COMING SOON)
Balancing full-time college courses with the realities of tiny living wasn’t always easy, but it taught us how to truly maximize a small space. Our RV became the ultimate quiet study hall, and we proved that you don’t need a traditional brick-and-mortar home to achieve major life goals. This chapter marks the perfect finale to our five years on the road before the next big adventure.
