Weather/Natural Disasters

Travelversary Blizzard! (Things went from bad to worse)

A historic blizzard hits New England, while we're parked stationary in coastal MA, one of the hardest hit areas. We battle 70mph winds, heavy snow, and power outages. Then afterwards, we assess the damage to our RV and go on a Starlink retrieval mission.

RV Life Season 5

Our most unique and special RV sites (Seasons 3 and 4)

We sat stationary through winter, patiently waiting for a viable Season 5 launch date. We didn't have a plan, given that we were 3 months out from a surprise lease break and into continued full-time RV life. After last year's fast travel, we said we needed

Snowed in

Continued from Things got even crappier (our first poo pyramid) We were lucky for a while, sitting tight through winter in MA without many problems. We had heat. We had easy solutions for the cold days when we would lose running water. Most importantly, we had 4 years of experience

Things got even crappier (our first poo pyramid!)

We've surprised some people this winter, not just by staying stationary in the North, aka Snowville, but actually embracing it. What can we say? When we have one plan and then life throws a major curveball, all we can do is count our blessings. We're safe

"We couldn't leave even if we wanted to!"

Continued from Weathering Winter: Arctic blast and loads of snow. We had gone years without facing plowable snow at our MA home-base, until now. After getting 19 inches, our parking spot was completely covered, with snow piles reaching as high as the frame of our trailer. Then when the plow

Weathering Winter: Arctic blast and loads of snow

We're no fools; we knew that if we stayed in MA into the depths of winter, we'd face some gnarly weather. That's what happened when we stayed until February 22 the year we first launched on the road, and it wasn't pretty.

Celebrating 100,000 miles of Clyde!

During our RV-to-rental home-to-RV whiplash, we needed to take a few trips back and forth to move all of our belongings out of the house. Some of it went into a storage facility, and the rest made its way down to our home-base in MA. Our minds were focused on

RV Life Season 5

Rewriting our definition of "RV life"

We ended 2025 with some major whiplash. We began the transition out of full-time RV life when we rented a house in New Hampshire for 7 months, from November 2025 to June 2026. Construction on our mountain cabin was expected to start shortly after that, either in the latter part

Season 4 recap and what our future holds

If you are new to our blog, we have been traveling full-time in our RV for 4 years, and today (December 30) is our RVersary! This is the day we hauled our belongings into our new tiny home-on-wheels, settled in, and wondered if we just made the biggest mistake of

RV Problems

The big pivot

Last year on November 6, we made a huge leap towards our next chapter of life. We bought land in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the place that we always considered end-game. Since then, even though we continued traveling full-time, we stayed honest on the blog. Nomadic life is

Are we tourists or locals? Getting our bearings in NH

One drizzly evening in October, Anthony and I were running errands sans GPS, up and down Route 104 in New Hampshire's Lakes Region. Suddenly, it dawned on us. Somewhere between our month-long stay in MA and moving up to our land, we became New Hampshirites. It was a

The lore and legend of our Massachusetts home-base

The time has finally come to talk about the elephant in the room...or shall we say, the elephant on the Andersons' basketball court? October 13 marked the 4-year anniversary of us bringing our trailer home for the first time and parking it at our Massachusetts home-base, on Nicole&

Truck Problems/Servicing

A whole host of RV problems as we camp our way through fall

Fall is our favorite time to camp. We love when the temperatures get cool enough to not run our AC all the time. In our 4 years of RVing, this has been the best season to camp without full hookups. Not running the AC means less generator time when we

Beyond Acadia: Excursions in Southwest Harbor, Bar Harbor, and Ellsworth, Maine

In our last post, we covered our recommendations on what to see and what to skip during your trip to Acadia National Park. Now, we're venturing outside park boundaries, to the park's gateway towns. When we took our trip to Acadia in 2019, we chose to

The Acadia itinerary: What to see and what to skip

Acadia was our second National Park visit of all time, and one of the easier to check off the list as New Englanders. We went in late September 2019 for a weekend getaway, back when we knew little about navigating national park visits. Since then, we have gone from national

Our first RV trip?! Fall weather fun in Freeport, ME

After 6 months traveling across the country, we returned to New England and slowed our pace. We spent 7 weeks bouncing between our two home-bases: My parents' driveway in MA and our land in NH. During this time, we were dealing with upheaval, as life threw a lot of

It's our favorite place in the US, but so many RVers skip it

We've talked a lot about our love for New Hampshire in the blog. Our rivers run deep, as this was the state where I "came of age" as both a young adult and a musician, where we took many day trips when we first started dating,

Nomads: Know this BEFORE you apply for South Dakota Residency

When we travel the country, we always face the inevitable question, "Where are you from?" We started off joking that we're from "Nowhere and everywhere at the same time." After all, home is where we park it in our RV. But most of the

We played cross-country blackout Bingo from California to Massachusetts

For Summer to Remember this year, we opted out of our usual challenges to hike and/or ebike 100 miles from Memorial Day to Labor Day Weekends. We learned our lesson from previous years and didn't want to end up resenting our outdoor time, which was supposed to
