Our story is never a quick one to tell.
We Went There started as a way for me to write about life on the road.
Devon and I had only been together about 6 months when we knew we wanted to go RVing. Oct 2018, we bought our first RV, a 13′ Little Guy Teardrop Trailer! I’m NOT a fan of camping so this RV was perfect– solid walls and bed that’s not on the ground!
Extra Pro: There was a kitchen on the back.
Minor Con: There was not a bathroom.
Nonetheless, we made plans to make as much money as we could before we’d hit the road that following Summer of 2019.
By Oct 2019, we were officially on the road! We made it up the East Coast through New Jersey and New York into New Hampshire and Vermont; down through Massachusetts and across into Ohio and Indiana… Some of the best memories, though, are from Kentucky and Tennessee… The cold weather got to us by November, so we headed North through Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
In an effort to regain some warmth, we fled South after the New Year. By mid-February, coming North past Fort Myers, we were in a car accident that left our Teardrop Trailer turned over on its side and out of our mobile home for 4 months. While waiting for the RV to be fixed, Devon and I knew we needed to have some kind of income to sustain ourselves. Luckily, emphasis on LUCK, we were hired for seasonal work-camping positions in the Florida Keys that even offered housing!! We spent a year working hard and living island life before getting back to what we were meant to be doing– traveling. This time, we wanted to go all in; so we bought a 17′ Geo Pro Travel Trailer, complete with bathroom AND kitchen indoors.
The most recent posts you’ll see our from our Summer of 2021. From the Florida Keys to Washington state, we saw so many incredible places; we’re eager to go back out West for more.
Come along for all of our adventures across and around the country; the delicious foods we’ve eaten and cold, crisp beers we’ve sipped; and hopefully a laugh or two; sometimes, I’m told, I’m funny.
As you scroll through my stories, I hope there are places you can relate to… places you can see and immediately say, “We Went There!”
Thanks for visiting!
