]]>Travel bloggers Danielle and Tommy know best. The full-time travelers have embraced the RV lifestyle and have been living on the road since 2016. Having traveled for some four years, alongside their two dogs, Missy and Trip, the couple’s RV travels have taken them to almost all of the lower 48 states in the United States, all over Canada, and up and down Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.
“First, came finding the perfect [for us] home-on-wheels,” they recall the process on their personal website. “Several months scouring the internet went by, we toured and test drove a few different Toyota’s—until we found our RV located just outside of Seattle, Washington.” They then ended their lease, sold all of their furniture, packed light, and were headed towards the east coast where they would renovate and rebuild the RV.
Their website and Instagram include before-and-after photos of their RV renovation, as well as documentation from life on the road. “We’ve learned so much from our time on the road,” write the seasoned travelers, “and have both grown so much from this entire experience. From learning how to DIY our RV renovation, to learning how to create multiple streams of income to sustain our lifestyle. It’s not always easy or beautiful, but life was meant to be an adventure!”
You’d want to follow them around, at least on Instagram…

The high school sweethearts-turned-full-time-travelers have been vacationing since 2014, with their adventures taking many shapes and forms. “We’ve been through a lot together,” they write on their website, “awkward teenage years, college, long-distance, traveling together 24/7—and at the end of it all, we still sorta like each other,” they add, jokingly.
We love going to breweries, but instead of ordering beer on site, we got 6-packs to-go from a couple different breweries in Jackson Hole and taste tested from our van! — 
And when we were on the Oregon Coast we really wanted to sample the famous clam chowders and fish and chips along the way, so we ordered takeout and enjoyed the local specialties from inside our perfectly cozy “dining room”. — 
We’re obsessed with morning coffee, so we’ve been brewing it ourselves in the van and finding pretty spots to park where we can enjoy it. . The kind of crazy thing is we bought our van in early February, back when life was “normal”. And we had been planning the purchase for about a year before that. But serendipitously this is the only way we’ll be traveling for the foreseeable future it seems. . I read somewhere that some 25 million Americans have bought a campervan or RV this summer. And if you’ve been thinking about it, let us know what questions or hesitations you still have… We’re happy to help because we know it’s a big decision. — P.S. Swipe to compare our fancy kitchen in Pearl to the one we had in our previous build. Same cute chef 
but now he doesn’t have to sit while he cooks!“The kind of crazy thing is we bought our van in early February, back when life was ‘normal,'” they reflected in a recent Instagram post. “And we had been planning the purchase for about a year before that. But serendipitously this is the only way we’ll be traveling for the foreseeable future it seems.”
⠀ I shoulda known…Now, they hope to share their knowledge with others, teaching the ins and outs of van traveling. According to the seasoned couple, the big advantage of van life is you can avoid as much human interaction as possible. “We can cook for ourselves. We don’t need to stay in hotels. We can avoid most public bathrooms. It’s kind of perfect right now,” they note.

) and were excited to get into this new hobby. It took us about a month of searching to actually get the bikes (they’re sold out pretty much everywhere because a lot of factories have been shut down). And so it stings a little more knowing we probably won’t be able to get new bikes this year. . Sometimes I process emotions by making lists (is that weird?!)… so here’s a list I made about yesterday’s incident: 1. Can 2020 just be over already?! 
#butforreal 2. We are safe. The van was not harmed. For that, we are grateful. (And for those who’ve asked, no we were not inside the van when they were stolen, thankfully.) 3. This is such a small thing to be upset about in the midst of everything going on in the world right now. 4. But as many sweet souls reminded me in DMs, it is still valid to be upset. 5. It’s funny because people always ask if we’re worried traveling abroad, but the only times we’ve had things stolen have been in our home country 
6. People can be shitty. But they can also be so, so good. We’ve been flooded with kind messages, people offering to help search, and just being overall wonderful. And it really brightened an otherwise crappy day. So thank you. 7. If we get bikes in the future, we’re gonna have a badass security system on the van! 8. I hope that sharing this little not-so-pretty side of #vanlife doesn’t scare anyone away. But I do think it’s important to share the bad as well as those picture-perfect moments. Because there are definitely ups AND downs. . And yes, we have insurance. We’re crossing our fingers that the coverage is decent so we can save up for new bikes for next year

but it’s hard to leave home when your backyard looks like this. . This time we’re headed toward Grand Tetons and Colorado for some backcountry camping, hiking & biking adventures. Any hikes you’d suggest, or things to do that will allow us to be socially-distanced hermits?? We’d love tips!The post This Couple Has Found the Perfect Way to Travel During COVID appeared first on TettyBetty.
