What we’re up to

We travel in our camper van, but we don’t live in it. We love being outdoors, but we’re not extreme adventurers. We just happen to think nature and road trips are super cool.

We want to take our camper van (and fur kids) to all 48 connected states. All while enjoying a great hike, brewery or paddle along the way.

How it started

After 16 years on the West Coast, in SoCal and the PNW, we decided to get back to our roots: the Midwest. We had three dogs and a cat at the time, and we wondered how we’d get all six of us there.

Then it hit us: a camper van. Our inaugural voyage in 2021 was from Seattle to the Saint Louis area, where we now reside.

Where we’ve been

Beethoven has been to 24 states and counting: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

Psst, care to learn our top travel secret?

During our camper van and other adventures, we’ve picked up on a simple fact that others seem to overlook:

You can find something interesting just about anywhere you go.

Even places you never, ever thought to visit. We started this blog so we can share those places with you, along with camper van tips and other things we think you might enjoy.

Don’t worry, you don’t need a camper van to enjoy the places we highlight. It doesn’t matter how you get there. Just go and have a good time.

Because life is about moving, not standing still.

We believe

In the power of love, art, science, choice and equality. In the magic of drag queens and fresh air.

Be who you are, so long as you’re not hurting anyone else. Now that’s super cool.

You can help keep us moving (please and thanks)
