    Trip planning: Asheville, Nashville, Pisgah/Nantahala…

    In my opinion, trip planning is almost as exciting as trip taking! We’re starting to think about our biannual Asheville Airstreaming pilgrimage, and wondering what other explorations we can cram in while we’re out and about. Right now, we’re leaning toward a few days in Nashville in our favorite parking lot campsite, a couple days

    Asheville Favorites

    We first wrote this post in 2018 after our fifth Asheville visit, but we’ve kept it up to date with our favorites since then! As of this writing, we’ve taken the Airstream to Asheville FOURTEEN times (we think–we stopped writing a post for each visit and think there was one between #11 and #12 in

    Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA

    We full-timed in the Airstream the first half of 2018. We’ve stayed in a lot of campgrounds across and up and down the US (see where on this map!), and Misty Mountain Camp Resort in the village of Crozet, just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, is the nicest campground we’ve found–which is lucky for us, as we

  • Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Carrboro in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We specifically went to the Carrboro area to see a band we love, Destroyer, whom we followed from Asheville. A lovely bonus to this stop is that my mom, sister, and nephew live nearby and could pop over for a visit!

    Three days in Asheville, NC (visit #5)–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Asheville in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We’ve posted a bunch of times about Asheville; check out all the posts here. Yes, Asheville again. I’ll keep this short since we keep going to Asheville and visiting a lot of the same places, and I promise to write an

    Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Lexington in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. I am a horseperson. Not a literal horse-person hybrid (although my mom might disagree with that when remembering the behavior of my 12-year-old self), but someone who since age ten has loved horses almost as much as dogs (come on, nothing

  • Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop

    Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop

    We visited St Louis in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. St Louis isn’t somewhere we’d ever talked about visiting. All I really knew about it was that the Arch is there. But while researching this trip’s itinerary, J discovered that St Louis is one of the rare big cities that has

    Two days in Branson, MO–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Branson in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Branson wasn’t on our initial itinerary for this trip, and then the NYT’s list of 52 Places to Go in 2018 was released–and Branson’s on the list! It’s on the way from Medicine Park to St Louis, and the route from Branson

    Three days in Fayetteville, AR–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Fayetteville in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. I was surprised at how much I liked Fayetteville, not having really known much about it going in. We had mostly considered it a base from which to do some hiking in the Ozarks, but in addition to that, from the

    Airstream Living: Organization

    (That picture is from when we loaded our new Airstream for our first trip, two years ago!) This time of year, everyone is interested in organization and streamlining their homes, right? Those concepts are especially important when you live in a tiny house, and even more so when you share your tiny house with another
