As my brother so correctly pointed out, this travel blog has sort of become more of a Lake Wales Home Base blog, rather than a travel blog. But given the circumstances, there’s not a whole lot I can do. Still way too much virus going around, and most places to visit have limited attendance. I […]

A new month, in a new year has arrived. Difficult to believe that another month has passed, but so goes the time. It was a crazy month, filled with highs and lows, and also marked the arrival of the Florida citrus season. All the orange groves around us are now filled with bright orange fruit. […]

It has been a wonderful 4 weeks here in Boerne, TX visiting with a long lost friend and playing tourist (well, as much as possible given this pandemic). As has been the case pretty much throughout my nomadic journey thus far, time seems to fly by while I’m having fun. But alas, my time here […]

As the month of June rolls to an end, I’ve got some great news to share. First and foremost, I am finally leaving this campground and heading to my next destination.

Today, May 9th, 2020 marks the 2nd anniversary of my full-time RV adventure. It was two years ago today that I moved out of my apartment in Fairfax, VA and into the RV where I would begin my nomadic lifestyle. Based on how quickly time has passed, it’s absolutely unimaginable that I’ve been on the […]
