Owen always has and always will be our resident road life electrician! It was so nice to see him light up (pun intended) when he dove into the designing and outfitting our electrical system in Amelia. Today he released an in-depth breakdown of our electrical system from Amelia on @youtube link in the bio. For those who have been asking for more face time with my lovely camera shy Owen...this is the video for you 😍

When we come to Florida, the state in which we technically reside, we don’t seem to venture very far off our beaten path because we’ve come in search of time with our families. Before we start our year of travels afar we are taking some time to explore what Florida has to offer. In our experience it can be amazing to see what your backyard has to offer if you take the time to look.
Thank you to the Cousin Surf Squad for always paddling out and sitting still for our relentless photo taking 😘

“Hungry to learn more about the Tablelands we stopped to knock out the small and easy 4km hike that weaves through the barrens and into a surprisingly lush canyon. As we got closer we learned that the vegetation is able to grow in this area because of a stream that comes out of the Tablelands. During the hike I struck up a conversation with a young boy who was picking berries along the trail as he hiked with his family. He claimed to know what the mysterious berries were and said that they were good to eat. He offered me one, and me being the person that I am, I didn’t think twice and accepted his offer. The second that berry touched my tongue its texture was in my entire mouth. It was so nasty and strange. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything like it. I put on a brave face and told him it was good and we hiked on. I complained that my mouth tasted nasty for the rest of the day and I got no sympathy from Owen. That’s the last time I’ll eat a foreign berry given to me by a 6 year old of which I don’t know.” Head to our September on the Road recap for more fun stories like this one 🤙🏼 link in the bio

Q: How much clothes do you carry on the road, and how did you decide what to bring?
A: I will be the first to admit that this was the hardest part of hitting the road for me. I like to dress based on how I feel, what the weather is doing, and I don’t like to feel like my options are limited. Owen and I each have about one cubic foot of clothes and we have a @seatosummitgear compression sack that holds our cold weather gear. That’s it. It took a lot of work to figure out what to bring because I didn’t know how much I would need. To help we figured out how much space we were willing to dedicate to clothes and then worked backward from there. We each use 4 full-size @eaglecreek packing cubes and two half cubes. In each of the full-size cubes, we store shirts, pants, shorts, and light jackets. In each of the half cubes, we store socks and underwear. Not only did those cubes help us figure out exactly how much we could each bring but they also help keep our clothes organized when they’re stored in our vehicle. When it came to deciding what exactly to bring I went for clothes that are multifunctional and can easily make as many outfits as possible. That way when you go to get dressed you still feel like you have options with less. Since going on the road it feels like my relationship with clothes has changed significantly. I used to wish I always had something different, something better. Now I see each piece of clothing for what it can do and how versatile it can be, and I really like that. When I queried Owen and the subject he just said it was easy and I didn’t have to think about it much… Such an Owen thing to say. #bfnqanda

There have been some unforeseen delays in the building of our new rig so we won't be getting it until later than we expected. That’s ok though, good things are worth waiting for! Right?! (she says even though she sobs dramatically on the inside, jk, but really) So we’re off to find some adventures while we wait with Lando 🤙🏼

After a long hiatus from making build videos we’re back! Work has prevented me from getting around to editing all the videos of Amelia’s build but the holiday break is giving me an opportunity to jump back in.
