For all of you that crave those dramatic before & after photos... 

we've got ya covered!

Mid-Remodel & After

Everyone loves a good before (or, during) and after photo!  They are like a breath of fresh air, a sigh of relief, but the actual day-to-day struggles to get to these moments are far from those sensations.  So, we will show you all the scary, ugly, nitty-gritty scenes of a remodel before those relaxed moments of an 'after' photo.

Can't go wrong with a good view,

& We're always chasing an epic spot to camp  

LIVING ROOM VIEWS

One of the best features in our Nigel is the HUGE picture window on the back wall.  We have a ritual when we pull up to any epic spot, and it's to get a living room perspective of our new backyard.  The album continues to grow as we travel, so its a fun thing for us to look back at. 

Who is Nigel??

We know at the end of the day, the majority of you guys are here to see pictures and read about the RV.  So, we will give you what you want!  If we don't cover all your questions in the FAQs about our life and the RV.  Feel free to send us a message and we'll be sure to add to the list!

We should have started this more than a year ago, but better late than never, right?

I only have to write about 7.5 more months of entries to be up-to-date on the remodel......

We have been traveling so much faster than our normal slow pace of road life. It’s been fun to speed things up a bit, but extremely exhausting. There has been little time to process the beautiful places we’ve passed or stopped at, little time to wait out bad weather, little time for the dogs to run wild until they can’t run any longer, little time to meet other travelers, little time to travel deeper. We are tired—all four of us, of constant movement. _ If I think hard about the last three weeks, there have been a few moments that stick out to me where we both regret not having time to stay longer. We are taking a few days to rest, and then we are heading somewhere to get lost. We haven’t decided which direction we’re headed yet...no timelines, no destinations, no plans. Feeling like we can breathe again. #slowcarfasthome
Our travels this year seem to push us in the direction of wildfires and the areas that have been hit the hardest this year. _ Our first experience with 2018 wildfires was while we were in Glacier National Park and a wildfire was started by a lightning storm. We then headed north to Alberta, Canada which was heavily affected by the numerous wildfires across British Colombia—we called our time in Canada off due to the smoke lingering for so long and our inability to safely explore. _ We left San Francisco this morning. While the air quality is still not great, we had about an hour of clearer air (by clearer air I mean we could at least see the bridge and the city across the bay). Our thoughts and hearts are with everyone affected by the fires here in California as well as the rest of the 2018 wildfires in North America 💚 #slowcarfasthome
“Trip, stop eating sticks!” _ “Missy has gone full beached whale mode...” _ “....whatever, it’s close enough, take the photo!” #slowcarfasthome
Over the river and through the [red]woods... _ The Avenue Of The Giants is breathtaking. The way the light shines through these massive redwood trees is something we could easily become obsessed with, and the feeling of walking through these giants will be hard to forget. We arrived early in the morning to see the light wake this beautiful quite forest, and boy did mother nature put on a show for us! #slowcarfasthome
It took us twice as long as it should have to drive south down the Oregon coastline. But with views like this, can you blame us?? • Everyone should do this drive at least once in their life. Even if you are prone to getting carsick (Danielle and Missy both struggle with this) bring some Dramamine and I promise you won’t regret it! #slowcarfasthome
Before buying the RV and traveling full-time, we lived in downtown Denver and our bikes were our preferred means of transportation. In our transition to living tiny we put our bikes as a non-necessity in what we needed to bring on the road. This decision was mainly based on not wanting to mount the bikes outside (we dealt with a lot of bike theft issues in Denver 🙄), so we’ve been without bikes for almost 2 years. _ In the last day or two while exploring the Oregon Coast on our @blixbike we’ve come to realize a few things: 1. We missed exploring by bike more than we could have imagined 2. The Oregon coast is what dreams are made of 3. These foldable bikes are amazing for tiny spaces. We can keep them stored inside! 4. Trip can run 18mph and keep up with these e-bikes without a blink of an eye (this one scares us a little 😂) _ We’ll be continuing down the Oregon Coast to the Northern California Coast throughout the rest of this week. Any recommendations on places to bike/camp/hike/visit on our travels south? #slowcarfasthome #onablix
We call our home “the little beach bungalow on wheels” — No matter where we are, it always feels tropical in here 🌴 #slowcarfasthome
We’re almost back on the coast! The two of us have spent the majority of our lives living by water. We both grew up on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and after that we spent 5 years living minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean in North Carolina. The coast will always feel like home to us, and although it’s a different coast than we usually call home, all of those familiarities of the sea and little beach towns are there and make us insanely happy to be back 🌊 #slowcarfasthome
