About us
Hi, I am Tim. I started traveling in my van in 2010. Though I had no clue at the time, there was no stopping the inevitable; I was now a nomad. I spent the first two years traveling – part-time – all over the West. I did so with little knowledge about van-life or full-time nomadic life – learning everything as I went. By the end of 2011 I couldn’t hold the need back any longer, starting a life of full-time traveling in the van.
Kerri and I became nomads separately at different times and in different places. In 2015, thanks to close friends, we met on the road, fell in love, and have been traveling together since. We have traveled all over the United States, parts of Canada, up to Alaska, over to Hawaii, and as far south as the tip of Baja, alternating back and forth between our two rigs for a few years until 2019 when we bought a sailboat and started that lifestyle.
