We're here to help make travel planning a whole lot easier.
Hi y'all! We’re Adam, Kathryn, & Kona!
We're an adventurous married couple (+ pup) living on the road in our self-converted sprinter van! You can often find us scoping out the best coffee shops, eating tacos and ice cream, climbing mountains, and dreaming about Hawaii.
We help busy, budget conscious, and adventurous travelers maximize their vacation time and money wherever they go through detailed travel guides, YouTube videos, and travel resources. We share the must-visit local eats, popular and off the beaten path sights, and tons of tips to make planning your next adventure a whole lot easier. Nothing makes us happier than knowing that we helped someone spend less time (and stress!) planning their trip and more time enjoying it!

The Best Gelato in Rome
Ice cream is one of our favorite things to eat whenever we travel. Whenever we visit a new city, we try to scope out the best local ice cream spots (in addition to taco stands and coffee shops). We spent two weeks in Italy over the summer and our days...
Hiking the Enchantments
This past September we got to knock off an item from our bucket list: hiking the Enchantments in Washington! Ever since moving to Washington and learning about this beautiful region, we had our sights set on backpacking there. After entering the permit lottery in 2018 and failing to get permits,...
Our Van Conversion Cost, Tour, & Mistakes
WE DID IT!!!! After almost 7 months of blood (not much thankfully!), sweat (the Texas heat is no joke!), and many tears (most Kathryn lol), we FINISHED OUR VAN CONVERSION! And holy crap, we are in love!!! Back in January we announced that we bought a Sprinter van that we...
30 Free and Cheap Things to Do in Seattle
While Seattle is an expensive city to live in, one thing that we have loved about living here is how easy it is to find free and cheap things to do, both in nature (and Seattle’s full of lots of beautiful nature!) or outside of nature. We have had some...
14 Must Eat Foods at The Richmond Night Market
A couple years ago, shortly after we moved to Seattle, Adam came across photos on Instagram of hundreds of tents, colorful lights, and delicious food at the The Richmond Night Market, which is the largest night market in North America with over 1 million visitors between May and October (when...
Our Favorite Travel Planning Tools + Itinerary Template
It’s no secret that we love planning trips! We love researching for hours upon hours, digging into everything a city has to offer, learning tons, picking spots we want to check out, and crafting the perfect itinerary. We are definitely itinerary-based travelers vs spontaneous travelers (although we’re trying to leave...
Seattle Bucket List
We are so, so excited to partner with our friend Allie from Adventures After Coffee for our biggest content piece ever: a 10 page Seattle Bucket List! We have called Seattle home for over 2.5 years and have fallen madly in love with this city and surrounding areas. While we...
Our Guide to Traveling More for Less
“How are y’all able to travel so much?” We get this question a lot and we wanted to write an honest and open blog about this topic because there are so many elements that help us be able to afford to travel. And the best part–everything we do you can...

2 Days at Yellowstone National Park
After spending a week in Jackson, Wyoming and Grand Teton National Park, we headed north to Yellowstone National Park! To be honest, we weren’t totally sure what to expect from Yellowstone and thought it may be a tad overrated, but we were blown away by the diverse scenery and the crazy hydrothermal features–it is unlike...
3 Days at Grand Teton National Park
After finishing our van conversion this summer, our goal was to book it out of the Texas heat and find some cooler weather and mountain views. We set our sights on Wyoming and made the 1,377 mile drive to Jackson and Grand Teton National Park. We called Grand Teton and Jackson our “home” for about...
2 Days in Florence
Our final stop on our two week Italy adventure was Florence! Florence (Firenze in Italian), is much smaller than Rome, but it’s still loaded with history and charm. It was the heart of the Renaissance, is full of Michelangelo’s work, and according to UNESCO, the city houses 1/3 of the world’s art treasures! We had...
4 Days in the Dolomites
We spent two weeks in Italy this summer and oh my gosh, it was the most delicious and magical two weeks of our lives! We kicked off our trip in the Dolomites, which is a beautiful mountainous area and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Italy. Between the mountains, charming towns, incredible people,...
5 Days in Mexico City
Every February, Adam gets a few days off work for mid-winter break and we use it as a chance to escape the gloom and cold in the PNW and go somewhere sunny and warm. This year, we wanted to go somewhere we had never been before, somewhere with a different culture and language, somewhere relatively...
5 Days on Oahu
It’s no secret that we LOVE Hawaii. We have now been to the islands 5 times together and every time we have to force ourselves to leave, spend weeks (or months) sad that we left, and instantly begin planning another trip back. We just got back from our second trip to Oahu (you can watch...
