Moments like this.☀️

Finding amazing boondocking spots is our favorite part of van life, hands down. This stunner is courtesy of South Dakota’s Badlands, where we spent the better part of a week parked up. Working remotely and creating content, all while gazing out in awe at this unique landscape. This is the life!

Wanna see a cattle drive in Fort Worth? 🐂

❕SAVE THIS POST❕

In preserving its “Cowtown” heritage, Fort Worth has its own herd of Texas Longhorns – one for each decade of Fort Worth’s 170-year history!

You can see the cattle drive twice daily, at 11:30am and 4:00pm in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.

The cattle drive rolls down right in front of the Livestock Exchange Building, at 131 East Exchange Ave.

Y’all can’t miss it!

We might complain a little (maybe a lot), but we do love hiking - even when the view doesn’t pay off like we’d hoped. The fog was actually a cool vibe though. 🤩

Happy #NationalHikingDay!

Washington DC was the first official stop on the E

Washington DC was the first official stop on the Epic Road Trip Stephen and I started last July. It’s one of my favorite cities in the U.S., it’s where I went to college (the first time), and I was so excited to take Stephen and show him around. See below for a list of what’s in these photos.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the vlog with all of this and more is live on our channel - just click that link in the bio!

1. The Washington Monument from the far end of the Reflecting Pool.

2. A selfie in front of the White House and a rainy view of the Capitol from the Supreme Court steps.

3. My favorite tortilla chips in the whole world at @cactuscantina.

4. Stephen at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

5. The Kennedy Center from Georgetown.

6. Another selfie, this time with the Washington Monument.

7. Our fantastic dinner at @compassrose_dc. I think it was a burrata and strawberry salad and some kind of cauliflower dish, but it’s been a minute… we also had khachapuri (not in the photo).

8. drinks at @madamsorgandc in Adams Morgan.

9. Stephen photographing the Lincoln Memorial and a selfie on the mall with the Smithsonian Castle.

How is van life going so far? EPIC! 🚐 🤩 To

How is van life going so far? EPIC! 🚐 🤩

To be fair, we’re only a few months in, and we’ve had plenty of challenges along the way – it most definitely is not all glamorous and happy times.

But, to be perfectly cheesy, this lifestyle truly is all about the journey. We’ve seen and experienced so many wonderful things already, and we can hardly wait to see what’s ahead! We especially love it when we get to meet up with friends, old and new, along the way!

We’ve got so much more ground to cover, so if you’re new here give us a follow and join our adventures as we travel to ALL 50 STATES!

Where to eat in Washington, D.C.? The ORIGINAL Be

Where to eat in Washington, D.C.?
The ORIGINAL Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street! 🤤 It’s a D.C. institution!

Ben’s is most famous for their legendary half smoke and of course their chili - which also comes in vegan.

Burgers, shakes and other old-school diner fare round out the menu, AND they have vegetarian options!

They’re proudly black-owned and operated for over 6 decades and counting, and they’ve hardly changed a thing.

if it ain’t broke…
