Here’s our Intentional Travelers collection of blog posts on transformational travel experiences, travel tips and guides for road trips.
This is a guest post by fellow Intentional Traveler, Alyssa Padgett. Shortly after their wedding, she and her husband, Heath, bought an RV and filmed a documentary across the country called Hourly America. The best and worst of the USA In 2014, I drove – well, that’s not true – my husband drove across the…
Today I am really excited to introduce you to the Boyink family, formerly of DitchingSuburbia. I can’t tell you how many times Jedd and I have heard some variation of: “Now is a good time to travel, before you have kids.” Yes, bringing kids into your life adds a whole new dimension, but it doesn’t…
Full-Time RV Living Have you ever thought about selling everything and seeing the country by RV? For more and more people, this dream has become a reality – and not just for retired folks!

We love British Columbia, Canada but Kelowna wasn’t even on our radar until we had the opportunity to pass through on our scenic drive to Banff– and we’re really glad we made the stop! The main summer attractions in Kelowna are outdoor activities and wineries. Since it’s just a one-hour flight from Seattle on Alaska Air,…

In this case, we were able to help out some friends, get free use of camping gear in return, learn more about things we’re interested in (like growing native plants and using…
