We’re always chasing the internet.

How long do you plan on traveling?
We don’t consider this a trip. This is our life now. We’re not looking back. We’re not going back.

Where do you plan on driving?
We plan to drive the Americas, and then either ship the van to Europe of buy a sail boat and circle the globe.

What were your family’s and friends’ reactions when you told them about your trip before you left?
The thought we were crazy, especially when Stevie quit her high paying sales job! But they are slowly coming around.

Do you have any advice for others who may be considering driving the Americas?
Don’t think. Just do it. Follow your intuition and the energy and forget about all the advice from frightened people.

Do you have a blog or a website describing your trip?
