Hello, we are O. and N.
October 2022
We recently retired, so we decided to sell our home, get a 20-foot van, and travel around the country.
Perhaps a description of what this website is not will be just as helpful as what this website seeks to be.
The goal of this website is not to attract followers or sponsors; it is not to provide advice on how to level a van or empty a black tank (how many black tank videos does the world really need?); it is not to make recommendations about tourist sites or restaurants. Other websites do all that (and more!) much better than this website ever will. So, there will not be a way for you to “subscribe to our channel” or “ring the bell to get a notification”.
Think of this site more as a personal travel journal. We wanted to create a record for ourselves, to let our grown children know what we’re up to – they’re slightly worried about us and our sanity – and to let our friends and former neighbors join us for the ride. I (O.) am in charge of writing; N. is the photographer and videographer. We’ll update the website as time allows and inspiration strikes.
If that piques your interest, welcome!
