Maybe the blog should be renamed Mary and Michael MISadventures?!? We officially moved into our motorhome on March 1st, 2020. The same week that the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic arrived in NC and became a lot more real (to us). Our original plans were to be with family in Western NC for a couple of weeks before heading to Charlottesville, VA to celebrate our friend’s Ph.D. defense along with other friends that were going to visit from California. Michael’s parents were also going to visit for a weekend of Shenandoah hiking. We would then head to the Outer Banks where I would be volunteering at Cape Hatteras Natl Seashore until mid-July. But…

How did we get here, living and traveling full time in a 250sqft house on wheels?! We’ve always loved to travel. We realized early on that we were happiest when we were out experiencing the world around us, particularly nature, so we made that a priority. The main problem was that there never seemed to be enough time. After using 2 weeks of vacation time on an international trip almost every year there was no time left for exploring our own US of A.
