Vegas Round 1 & The Golden State
The first night walking down the strip was an overwhelming array of sensory information. Lights flashed from every angle, every sign. Music blared from every casino. Every character and every kind of person was in Vegas. It felt like a giant adult playground. Everyone...
Get Your Kicks On Route 66 & Press Fast Forward
Salt Lake City, Utah! We worked from the Salt Lake Public Library the first day. The library’s open concept architecture, array of shops and boutiques, and free WiFi made it a desirable work spot for us. The library parking attendant was very intrigued by our Ontario...
Chicken & Drive Your Own Rollercoaster
If anyone wants to learn how to drive a standard vehicle, go on a road trip. Stalling Chris’s car is becoming less of a regular occurrence. On our way to Colorado Springs, we rolled through amazing scenery in Northern Texas and New Mexico. We briefly stopped in New...
The Cowboy State Feat. Driving Lessons
7 days and 7 nights. We had officially been sleeping in the Ford Focus for one whole week. Our modifications to the car post our November test run had and have proven to be essential to keeping both our sanities in check when assembling and disassembling our bed...
State Side
True to our Canadian roots, the first place we drove to in Detroit was a Tim Hortons. Distracted and nervous from our second border crossing attempt, we had barely ate that day. At the drive thru, Chris ordered an orange juice and a breakfast sandwich. I think I...
What It’s Like Having A Fully Automatic Gun Waved In Your Face – Crossing The Border
I have never had trouble crossing the border before. I was under the naive impression that with a wave of the Canadian passport, we would be ushered through. No problem. As one of the border guards bluntly put, “Just because you’re Canadian citizens, doesn’t mean we...

Chris was determined to leave January 20th, no matter what my plan was. For me, it was more of an idea at the time. I had done some travelling and desperately wanted to travel more. I wanted to experience and see new things. I had a full-time job as a Rehab Assistant...
November Test Run
Two people. Ninety days. One tiny yellow two door Ford Focus Hatchback. We are nuts. Has reality even set in? Are we really living in a car for the next three months? It sounds like something I would read about, something I would watch on TV. Something I would look...
2017 Lawn Care Best Practices, Cali or Bust Tour – Where to find us (GPS Tracker)
So we leave in the morning and this whole thing feels like it's not real. I'm still wrapping my head around this. It started off as a "digital nomad tour" where basically we were going to take off for the sake of taking off. We can up with this route based on what...
Can’t believe we’re leaving the day after tomorrow (Video)
3 months in a car across the USA. This is going to be wild! We both need to be out of our apartments by Friday afternoon as we both have renters coming in to replace us. Good pressure. Yesterday Paulus saved my ass by helping me make a custom roof rack for my 3 door...
