For over the past two years my fiancee Tom and I have been living about 20 minutes outside of San Francisco and Silicon Valley (home to startups out of garages). In this area market rent is $3K for a one bedroom 900 sq ft apartment. It’s a strange mix of wealth, poverty, brilliance, and youth. Tom and I are both in our 30’s, and that puts us slightly outside the demographic of the startup culture, but feel incredibly spoiled because we get perks that are unheard of outside of tech (like fully stocked kitchens). We also feel lucky living in SF because we get to try lots of things first,  for example Instacart, Rinse, Uber Pool, Uber Eats, Doughbies, Paypal in store payment, the list goes on and on.

Even though we both enjoy the city and have wonderful jobs; we have recently been thinking about how we can experience life to the fullest. So this post is the first in a series of posts where you can come along as we decide our future. Will it be a life in an RV? Will we buy a tiny home in Vashon Island, WA? Will we move to the mountain in West Virginia?

We don’t have a pre scripted outcome of this journey and we aren’t sure where it will take us; but we do know that along the way we’ll get ideas for adventures and we hope that it will provide you with some interesting stories and pictures. Shout out: If you’re a full time RVer we’d love to hear from you on potential trip ideas.

So what can you expect over the next few months? We’ll post as we do a few of our own road trips:

• California to Las Vegas then to Arizona (May)
• Big Island of Hawaii costal trip (July)

We’ll also post ideas as we plan for a road trip in Q3 (August or September). We’re currently thinking maybe Mount Rushmore but if you have tips we’d love to hear from you.

Looking forward to a journey together,

Johanna and Tom
