When you're on a long road trip, we've got an unpopular opinion: Don’t stress about where to camp! When we’re RVing across North America, we often don’t plan on where we’re going to stay for the night.
What You Need to Know Before RVing to Baja
Over the past few years, we’ve gotten a considerable number of questions on our Baja travels, as well as a lot of interest from others who want to follow in our path. It’s important to remember these five tips as you cross international borders.
Winter in Baja California, Mexico
Happy New Year, everyone! It's crazy to think that 2020 has come and gone. Thankfully, we were able to spend some time with family during the holidays. After six weeks off the road and plenty of van upgrade projects completed, we were ready to get back out there and explore!
Why You’ll Want to Camp at Todos Santos Hostel
As excited as we were to arrive in Todos Santos, we were surprised by how few places there are to camp in the area. We consulted with our iOverlander app, and reviews were pretty mixed too. The beach sites were pretty crowded and many had litter everywhere. One particular RV park near downtown had terrible reviews -- it was reportedly infested with fleas and had dirty bathrooms. ¡No gracias!
Experience the Magic of Loreto, Baja California Sur
Loreto is designated as a Pueblo Mágico, which are distinguished destinations in Mexico that are special in a cultural or historical way. It's also considered to be the first human settlement in Baja California. Between its natural beauty, cultural riches, historical relevance, and authentic charm it’s pretty obvious that this town is indeed magical! ✨

Since it was our first time driving through, we wanted to spend some time getting acquainted with the area, local resources and navigating our way around town. Well, that and eating all the tacos! ?
Everything You Need to Know about Visiting Joshua Tree National Park
This past winter we toyed with the idea of staying in a mountain cabin with snow, or somewhere relatively warm. Being from the Central Valley of California, we’re not necessarily sticklers for a white Christmas. We’re used to the sunshine and crisp weather in December! Comfort took precedence in our decision, so we opted for a place that’s been on our national park bucket list for a while: Joshua Tree National Park.
10 Tips for Visiting Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park. This expansive, preserved land has been on our radar for over years now. When Harvey was born, I found the coolest print of America's national parks for his room. And as the boys grew older, we'd often point to a park and talk about what made it special. For Levi, something sparked -- and ever since then, he's been talking about visiting Yellowstone. So when we had a gap in our slow travel plans, Steven and I thought to ourselves, let's do this!
