fOLLOW OUR jOURNEY!

About​ the Blog

We started the blog a number of years ago more as a hobby, but as we joined travel groups on Facebook and spoke with people we met along the way, we realized that we have information that could be valuable to other travelers.

Our goal is to provide insights into the various places we visit, tips and tricks for RVers, motivation for travel, and fun anecdotes from our travels.

How are we doing?

About Us

This is where we introduce ourselves, let our hair down, and let you know what makes us tick.

Marvin was born in Natchez, Mississippi, on the Mississippi River and grew up on the Coast of Mississippi with his parents and two younger siblings.

In his early 20's, Marvin flew to Paris for the first time. A few months later, he again stepped on a plane bound for Paris, with the intention of staying two weeks. The City of Light entranced him, and he stayed for six months. Over the years he visited Mexico a number of times and crossed the pond again to visit the South of France. He has also traveled to the Bahamas, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Panama, Belize, China, the UAE, Canada, the UK, Belgium, Ireland, and Iceland. Marvin's desire is to see as much of this big world as possible, but India tops his "bucket list."

In addition to travel, Marvin enjoys photography, listening to music, grilling, buying shoes, camping, keeping up with the latest technology, painting, and reading and writing poetry.
Carolyn was born and raised in Northwest Pennsylvania, two hours north of Pittsburgh. At two years old, her parents gifted her with a younger brother, whom she proceeded to both terrorize and protect for the next 16 years.

Carolyn was hooked on travel from a young age. Growing up, Carolyn's family took several vacations, often to visit family scattered across the country. As a kid, her parents purchased her airline tickets to visit her friend in Kansas, not once, but twice. After that, the travel bug bit her, and she hasn't stopped traveling since. Her travels have taken her to Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, South Korea, China, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the UAE, Canada, Honduras, Panama, Belize, and Mexico.

Carolyn's hobbies include photography, reading, blogging, cooking, baking, social media marketing, and working on new digital designs.

Where are we now?

Currently we live in the Houston, Texas, area with our son Emmett and our toy poodle Einstein. We travel as often as possible, but enjoy having a home base to come back to.
