We are finally feeling a bit more settled in our new home in the west bay… and we managed to settle ourselves right out of consistent blog posts. Whoops! Just to recap: We are both working in home health, which is a welcome change from skilled nursing facilities. Our work weeks are busy which can…

Its Our 2 Year Travelversery!
This week marks 2 years since we started our first travel assignment in October 2018! Woohoo! In the past year we have moved 4 times, driven 5,800+ miles just between our homes, been on 4+ different health insurance plans, and navigated the travel world post COVID. Although it is not what we expected we are…
Surprise! We moved to California
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of stress, and fatigue. Although we love travel work, it is certainly not all sunshine and rainbows. Between constantly moving, changing work environments, struggling to have good health insurance, and now COVID, there are a lot of factors that can be overwhelming. This year has been particularly…
Volcanos and Starfish: Our Weekend at Mount St Helens and Ruby Beach
This past weekend we were itching to get outside since the wildfire smoke was moving out of the state. Although we lived in Tucson during the bighorn fire this summer, the recent smoke from the wildfires was like nothing we have experienced before. We were grateful to have a clear day to hike! We decided…
Olympic National Park – Can we go back yet ?!?
Hello from Washington! It’s been a few weeks since we left Arizona and we are on to our next adventure. To put it simply, the start of our new job has not exactly gone smoothly, but we are surging forward. This week we wanted to share our favorite part of our AZ to WA road…
Part 1: Hottest Roadtrip EVER
Our plans for this year to travel to PA for events and seeing family seem to be continually delayed, but we decided to take advantage of our pre approved time off by going on a road trip! We fit so much stuff into our 5 day trip that we are going to do two blog…
Tucson Adventures: Caves and Cacti
Happy Thursday everybody (or whenever you are reading this)! Over the last few weeks we have been primarily exploring on day trips from our homebase in Tucson. Our current goals with weekend planning are to 1. Beat the heat, and 2. Socially distance. There is a lot more to explore in the summer heat than…
Our Wild West Dude Ranch Weekend
Thanks to an awesome incentive from Patrick’s current travel company we decided to take a “staycation” to a local dude ranch in Tucson. We live on the southeast side of the city, and this past weekend after work we made the 50 minute drive to White Stallion Ranch on the northwest side of the city…
Chiricahua National Monument
This past weekend we ventured about 2 hours southwest of Tucson to visit Chiricahua National Monument. Before moving out west I never really realized how much vast wilderness truly exists in the United States. Although we passed by two small towns on our drive, the trip was mostly in the wilderness with only a few…
Sunrise Hike and Air Force One
Although the smoke from the Big Horn Fire and the extreme heat of Tucson has been thwarting some of our plans we still got out for some Tucson exploration this past weekend. Since it’s so hot during the day I got the bright idea that a sunrise hike would be fun. Patrick did some research…
