Van Life Cooking
As a follow up to the Minivan Kitchen post from a while ago, this one is about what we actually manage to make in this little kitchen. Obviously there are some limitations when it comes to cooking in the van, like there is not a whole lot of working space, we do not have a…
Backpacking in Havasupai
I am sure you had seen pictures of this place somewhere on the Web and Instagram. This place had become very popular from being shared and re-shared on social media over the past few years. That is also how I first learned of this place too. Blue-green water rushing down a tall waterfall into a…
