Hi there, we are Paul and Lee, and this website chronicles the continuing adventures of our life.
We first met in 1982 in NJ, Lee moved to CA in 1983, married in 1985, had our two wonderful children in the 80s/90s, and moved from California to the Midwest in 2003; and that’s just the short story.
We retired from our work lives in 2017, found a van, converted it into a camper, and hit the road. We’ve been doing VanLife since then for about 50% of the years (excepting COVID, of course), racking up over 220,000 miles with both of our vans (BB and Clifford).
We love to travel and have shared our adventures via our private Facebook group and our old website. Our old website was getting difficult to use, so here we are with a new, refreshed version for our van and world adventuring. We don’t do Facebook Group updates anymore while we travel, in favor of focusing on the website. We will still post personal updates after we end trips for those who just can’t do the website thing.
By taking control of our website (rather than being on someone else’s platform), we can share more of ourselves and our journey through life. I hope that someday my grandchildren will be able to look at this and maybe answer the questions that we can’t ask of our parents these days.
We’ve invested a lot in posts from the old platform, so we have reformatted them to fit on this new platform. The categories should be pretty self-explanatory. We have galleries of our major events to peruse as well.
After a decade of van travel, including our four-month 2026 Alaskan adventure, we are looking forward to seeing more of the world. We have a lot more travel in us still, so hang on. There are still continents to be discovered and more travel with friends. Vans can be rented when needed, so back road travel is still very much in our mind as well.
So whether you are new friends wanting to follow our adventures or coming over from the Facebook group or from the old website, welcome!
Come on in and catch up!
Paul and Lee
