Petrified Forest National Park— a place where you can wander through the woods and the desert at the same time and not see a single leaf! Sounds like the beginnings of a bad riddle, but that’s exactly what we found in our most recent adventure through the rainbow forest of petrified wood.

I’m so excited to share our first destination— Hot Springs, Arkansas! I’ve lived in Arkansas my entire life, most of it in Conway, which is just 90 miles from Hot Springs. Since we’re familiar with the area and it isn’t too far from home, Hot Springs was the perfect first location. We were doing everything for the first time, from hitching our Airstream to our truck to navigating some wide left turns with a 30 foot trailer, to stocking our kitchen. It was nice to know that if anything went really wrong, we were close to familiar places and people who could help.
Read MoreWelcome to your Hot Springs National Park travel guide. In the past, when I’ve shared about our travels, I’ve always gotten so many questions about how I plan a trip.

I believe that what comes naturally to us is usually a huge indicator of our God-given strengths and abilities. So today, I’m sharing our travel guide to Hot Springs National Park, in the hopes that the next time you need to scratch that travel itch, it’ll be easier for you to hit the road and find adventure at Hot Springs.
Read MoreI spent months researching how to be a full-time travel family before we ever hit the road. One of the biggest questions we faced: Airstream or Fifth-wheel RV? Obviously we ended up choosing an Airstream, but not after some serious thought going into these two choices.

Read MoreIt’s the start of a new year, and we’re well into our second month of full-time travel. Each week, we’re getting to see new sights, experience new things, and create new memories as a family. I’m so glad we’re on this journey. The further we get into our adventures, the more I’ve been sharing about how we ended up here, like how we downsized from 3,000 sq. ft. to 200, what our purging process was like, and why we chose to embark on this Airstream journey in the first place. When we first officially decided we wanted to travel full-time in an airstream, we knew that this meant we either needed to see or rent our home.

Read MoreThe day we decided we were really going to pack up everything and full-time travel in an Airstream, I knew I had a big task ahead of me. I was used to planning trips. From weekend getaways to month-long backpacking trips across Europe, there is almost nothing that I’m better at than planning a trip. But figuring out how to plan and execute everything that came before the biggest trip yet would be a totally different beast. So here’s what we did before we hit the road.
Read MoreWe’re officially in our first month of being a full time travel family, and we’re loving it. I’ve been getting so many great questions on my Instagram about how we’re making full-time travel work for us, when we have three young kids and a thriving business.
