Over the course of our three months travelling across the USA we never paid for a campsite. Every night we found somewhere to sleep for free in our van. It’s not that hard to do the same when you know what to look out for. The longer you’re living in a van, the easier it…
The town of Marfa in Texas is a strange, but very cool place. As we left the city of Austin behind after enjoying several days there exploring the city and its uniqueness, we headed out into the desert as we headed to Western Texas as part of our 3-month road trip around America. Along the…
The South Kaibab trail was one of the best hikes in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon that we did during our trip there. I kind of made it my mission to do at least one hike in every National Park we visited and our trip to the Grand Canyon National Park was no…
Our USA road trip ended a month ago (a month already!) and it was incredible. We saw so much and we’ve pretty much been enjoying summer since mid-March. Which, if you ask me, is well deserved having converted our van in the freezing cold of a Home Depot car park in Toronto. Below is the…

We truly never planned to visit this area, not even knowing it existed while traveling around the United States in 2017. When we took a detour on the way to Yosemite National Park it turned into one…
When we first started talking about travelling through the US in a van one of my big worries was how to shower when you live in a van? The vans we were looking at while still back in the UK had a shower (albeit it tiny), but still, it’d do. However, when we actually bought…
Visiting San Francisco on a budget is totally possible. That might be surprising given the city’s proximity to the infamous Silicon Valley and all its billions of dollars and the fact that it’s notoriously expensive to find housing near San Francisco. I’ll forgive you if you don’t think of San Francisco when you “budget travel”….
The best things to do in Canyonlands National Park are quite varied and include scenic drives, hiking, biking, and camping. Perhaps that’s not surprising that these Canyonlands things to do are so varied since the park itself is absolutely huge covering over 330,000 acres of canyons, mesas, buttes, fins, arches, and spires in the heart…
