This is #CANLIFE. We are DIFFERENT.

Shari and Hutch on the Appalachian Trail in NC.

We are EDUCATORS.

In our current adventure, as well as our former careers in higher education, everything we do involves teaching, mentoring, and inspiring others. We love lighting up a room of curious minds! As a writing, public speaking, photography, and video production team, we each contribute our own unique set of skills and abilities to a project. We engage a wide audience with a keen ability to break down complex concepts, and weave thick description and subtlety into entertaining, self-deprecating prose -- all accompanied by stunning visuals.

We have a range of EXPERIENCE.

We are full-time RVers who know their way around mountains, water, snow, and deserts -- and gourmet outdoor cooking. While we live in Hamlet, we also backpack, bikepack, sea kayak camp, snowshoe, and more. We combine our outdoor adventure and environmental education skills with writing, photography, and videography.

We've been doing this for over a DECADE.

In 2012, when we left our home with an adventure road atlas, a rudimentary solar powered system, and a flip phone; we weren’t following any social media influencers

-- #vanlife was not yet a “thing.” We didn’t even know what "full-timing" meant. After a few years of figuring things out for ourselves, we realized how hungry people are for information, insights, and tips on achieving their own journeys of a lifetime.

We build RELATIONSHIPS.

We connect with people, companies, and products that reflect our values: responsible outdoor adventure and education, tiny home / RV living, environmental education, and sustainable travel. Whether contributing content and images for print or online magazines, social media or delivering seminars in person, we will be sure to engage your audience and make them want to hit the road!

We love to GIVE BACK.

We give back to a variety of non-profit organizations focused on youth development/education, sustainability, environmental education, and access to outdoor adventure by volunteering our time and providing financial support

through a portion of our annual affiliate proceeds.

We are PROFESSIONALS.

With over 20 years of education and management experience, we follow through on commitments, meet deadlines, and are very selective about the types of projects that we take on. We began speaking professionally at RV travel shows, and university campuses in 2015, and began writing professionally in 2016; but, to be fair, we did a bit of this during our time in academia. In addition to our own blog, our work is featured in various print and online adventure publications.

And, we are authentically growing our online presence.
