While we were dating we hiked all over. We got the bug and kept hiking, which led to many adventures. Our first few years of marriage we would go to Charleston, South Carolina and would tent camp. Our tent camping would then turn into hiking and camping.
May, 2023 before we were married at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.
We then decided to buy a 1997 Lexus LX450 with the idea we would turn it into a boondocking machine. We did go camping in it quiet a few times. We spent a few nights in Linville Gorge and even spent a couple nights in campgrounds.

Then we decided to purchase a roof top tent and we camped and camped in it. We traveled all over the south, exploring and loving the life of “just going”

As we were hiking overnight on the Appalachian Trail in June of 2023, we were sleeping on the ground on top of Big Bald and we decided it was time to take the plunge and get us a camper.

So we went and looked at a few campers, but we had our sights set on an Airstream. After camping like minimalist, we decided to buy a 2022 19ft Caravel and start our RV journey. We camped many nights in the Caravel and after 6 months, we decided we needed more room. One of the last nights we stayed in Key West, we switched sides of the corner bed and realized how cramped we both were. The Caravel fit our needs, but we wanted more room.

In January of 2024, we knew we wanted something bigger. So we went and spent a few Saturdays sitting and pondering whether we were going to get a 25ft, 27ft, or 28ft. We were trying to figure out which model we were getting. A Flying Cloud, International, or Globetrotter. We realized we didn’t want a 25ft, because of the bed size and configuration. We were then set on the Globetrotter, but were still not happy because of the dinette having to be put down to set up the couch. We wanted a dinette and a couch that were their own. So we looked at the International. AND then we saw the Pottery Barn. After going inside it and falling in love with the layout we purchased it. We are excited for many exciting adventures camping in our new Airstream.
