What you’ll find

Welcome to my blog. I’m happy you’re here and to share a piece of my world with you. Everything you’ll see here is a reflection of me, from planning road trips with the family to the work we put into our pop-up camper.

I used to travel solo to some exciting places. Now, I love sharing that experience with my family - my husband, Kevin, our boys, Arlo and Desi, and our Great Dane, Lars.

We recently made a big move from Philadelphia to a little desert town in California so that we could be closer to Joshua Tree National Park. We’re settling in and exploring the area so, I hope you stick around to be part of some exciting West Coast trips!

Embark on a Road

Trip Adventure

Road tripping is one of the best ways to explore a destination with your family. It offers flexibility, allows you to immerse your family in the local culture, and creates unique memories along the way. This blog features road trip itineraries, travel hacks, and recommended routes. I also share my personal experiences on the road with the kids, including the ups and downs.

The Family

Since I met my husband, Kevin, in the midst of the pandemic, it’s been a dream of ours to move out to the desert and spend some time in an RV camper. Well, in 2021, when I was pregnant with our oldest son, Arlo, we renovated and drove a pop-up camper across the country to visit national parks. On that trip, we ended up in the very place we would move to two years later. We now live in the beautiful area of Joshua Tree, CA with Arlo, Desi, and Lars and have some big plans for west coast trips and maybe even another RV!
