We just got our campervan! This dream h as been a long time in the making. This is the first post of our Vanlife Series where we explore why we chose vanlife and what we’re planning to do now that we have our van.
When we first got married in 2009, we had very low salaries in a HCOL area. But, we still wanted to go on vacation. So, we went camping and realized we loved it. In this post, I share everything you need to know to go camping for a cheap long weekend.
With all of the uncertainty with COVID, our previous travel hacking strategy no longer works. We can’t plan the trip and then solve the puzzle of how to fund it. Because we know the power of credit card rewards (when you use them responsibly), we knew we wanted to figure out a new strategy for our current times.
Human beings are terrible at predicting what will make us happy. This is why we must experiment and try things out. This post walks through what we learned in our vanlife experiment and how you can design your own experiments to test your future plans.
We just got back from our 10-day campervan road trip through Maine and New Hampshire. If you are taking your own road trip through this area, we’ll tell you what you need to see and what you can skip.
In order for travel to be affordable, we need to plan ahead. The biggest three travel costs – accommodation, transportation, and food – are the biggest three expenses. If we plan ahead, we can cut those costs significantly. Surprisingly, planning ahead can even make a trip more enjoyable.
