Whoops…I didn’t mean for that to happen. 
I accidentally took 4 months off of social media, and you can probably guess what happened.

-I felt happier and less anxious
-I was more present with my family
-I stopped consuming horrible news
-I took back control of my time
-I went on a REAL vacation that wasn’t a work trip
-I hiked and (gasp!) didn’t shoot any content
-My brain feels lighter
-I’m not being influenced to buy things I don’t need
-I stopped comparing myself to everyone else

With the decrease in my blog traffic (thanks to AI), I gave social media my all in 2025 in hopes that I could revive some of my lost revenue. But as the year went on, it became clear that I’m not cut out for this kind of hustle anymore. 

These apps are designed to be addictive. The more we scroll, the more money they make, and anyone who uses them (especially for work) and is able to maintain healthy boundaries is a rare breed. I am not one of them.

In September, we decided to take a family trip to Europe, and there was no way I was going to waste the experience glued to my phone making reels. So I deleted the apps from my phone, and before I knew it, 4 months had flown by.

These days social media all about producing content that uses click-baity, sensationalist hooks that grabs people’s attention in order “stop the scroll”. There’s a formula, and if you don’t follow it, your posts disappear into the abyss. 

This is quite ironic considering my goal has always been to build a community of like minded people and to inspire and help people get outside and appreciate nature. But in order to reach anyone now (including my followers), I have to make addictive content that keeps you on your phone. This is a game I’m not willing to participate in. It all just feels so ick. 

I’m not sure what 2026 and beyond has in store for me. But I do know that life is happening out there, and I don’t want to miss it.

I’m here to admit defeat…

After a full year of living full-time in our truck camper with our 2 year old, we’ve called it quits. 

We left home in December 2024 with grand intentions of being on the road for at least a couple of years. We wanted to make the most of every second with our son before we have to make decisions about school. 

Our “Vanlife” adventures last year took us to southern Utah, Arizona, Baja California, New York, Ontario, Quebec, and all the way back, and they are memories I’ll never forget.

But as the year progressed, life in the truck started to feel heavy. 

Since 2014, my job as a blogger has supported my lifestyle and my family, and finding the right balance between work, play, and everyday chores was so much tougher than I expected. 

Living in such a van or truck with a toddler poses so many challenges that I brushed off prior to leaving. 

When you live in a house and both parents are busy, a toddler can be unsupervised while playing with their toys or books for a few minutes. When you live in a truck, a toddler needs to be directly supervised every second of every day. If you take your eyes off them for a moment, they could get hit by a car, fall into a creek, get bit by the neighbor’s dog, or stumble into a cactus…among many other things.

Prior to our son, Ryan would cook dinner while I worked on my laptop. Or Ryan would pack up our camping gear while I packed up the inside of camper. Traveling with our son, this type of multi-tasking that allowed us to work hard and play hard on the road was no longer possible. 

I won’t even get into potty training on the road, the fact that there is no such thing as a date night, or all the extra stuff you have to bring because they grow so damn quickly.

I sooooo badly wanted for van life to be just as carefree as it was pre-kid…but the fact is, it was not. 

I felt like I was either in cooped up in the truck working while missing out on fun moments with my family, completely failing at my work responsibilities, or… (continued in the comments 👇)

After 9 years on the road and testing just about every type of portable toilet – cassette toilets, pee jars, foldable toilets, and even the Trelino – this toilet is hands down my favorite.

When we first hit the road in our @rossmonster truck camper last December, we were using the Trelino toilet. After a few months, I was really disappointed with it — and honestly confused why my experience didn’t match all the glowing reviews I’d read. Anytime we opened the toilet lid, our entire truck stunk like ammonia and poop. The condensation made it even grosser, and I can’t tell you how many times the pee jug overflowed in the middle of the night. It was incredibly frustrating. 

I finally had it, and Compocloset offered to send me their Cuddy Lite to try out. Like the Trelino, it’s a separator toilet where the pee goes into a jug, and the poop goes into a bag…but my experience with the two couldn’t be more different.

The Cuddy Lite has a retractable cover over the poop bin, which is a game changer for odor control. The one-way pee valve also does a significantly better job at trapping ammonia smells from the pee jug. And it has an indicator light that turns on automatically when the pee jug is full so you don’t forget to dump it.

The Cuddy Lite also has hinges that hold the seat upright, making it much easier and more hygienic when it comes time to empty. 

While the Cuddy Lite costs more than some other toilets, in my opinion, it’s worth every penny if you want something easy to clean that doesn’t make your van smell like an outhouse.

🚽 If you’re interested in the Cuddy Lite, @compocloset sent me a $30 off code to share with you all. 

✨ Comment “send it” and I’ll DM you the code, along with my detailed Cuddy Lite review.

We didn’t come across many wild campsites here, so finding this lakeside gem with no one around for miles was such a treat. 

It cost $10.45 CAD per night (paid for at the ZEC office on Rte 155, km 27). 

A ZEC in Quebec is a managed recreation zone, and in this one, you are allowed to camp almost anywhere you want. 

There are hundreds of lakes in ZEC des Martres - which is 1.5 hours from Quebec City.

After we paid at the office, I hopped on Google Satellite and found a little dirt area on a large lake that appeared to have a fire ring. So we bumped our way down a dirt road to find it. Sure enough it was everything we hoped for. 

When the sun went down, the loons started calling, and honestly, I could’ve sat there listening all night. 🌙

Save this for your future planning!

No thanks! I’ll take this any day.

I’ve lived in 4 different vehicles. Two had showers and two did not. Here’s my take for when it makes sense. 

My first van had a shower and a 25 gallon water tank. When I was traveling solo, that was enough water for me to take the occasional shower and still have water for dishes, drinking etc. Once Ryan joined me, if both of us were taking showers, the water tank ran dry so quickly, we were filling up every couple of days. I also didn’t have a ton of storage, so the shower doubled as a closet. It was such a pain to move everything out of there, we RARELY used it.

Because of this, I didn’t have an indoor shower in my 2nd or 3rd van where I was also limited to 25 gallons of water. I also didn’t want to waste the space. I preferred to have a more storage and a comfortable living area that didn’t feel cramped due to a shower.

Now I’m living in the @rossmonster Baja truck camper with a 40 gallon water tank and a shower. That 15 extra gallons makes a huge difference in how long your water lasts. It’s also helpful not having to bathe my toddler into public showers.

We still take military style showers, and the 40 gallon tank lasts about a week with each of us showering one time (yes, we only shower once per week). 

So should you put a shower in your own camper / rig? I’d say yes if:
1️⃣ You mostly stay in paid campgrounds with hookups.
2️⃣ You’re comfortable moving often and hunting down potable water.
3️⃣ You’ve got a rig (like a dually) that can handle the weight of a bigger water tank.
4️⃣ You won’t use the shower as storage.
5️⃣ Your grey water tank holds at least 10-15 gallons

I’d say no if:
1️⃣ You want to make your water last as long as possible so you can camp off-grid for more days in a row
2️⃣ You’re ok showering in public facilities
3️⃣ Your have less than 20 gallons of water
4️⃣ You have a smaller van build budget…a shower and plumbing can really increase the cost. 

👇 If you’re a van lifer, please feel free to weigh in…

Ok, I’m finally doing it! As AI is taking over the universe, what I’ve been craving more of is real experiences in real places with real people.

So after years of thinking about it, I’m launching my group trips again. Join me this September!

🍁 When: September 17-21, 2026
🏔️ Where: Canadian Rockies 
🥾 What: Hiking adventure at a world-class heli-accessed backcountry lodge with cozy private rooms, gourmet food, a wood-fired sauna, hot showers, and more!

You don’t have to be an expert hiker. The location of the lodge provides terrain for everyone, and our hiking group will be split up based on abilities and interests. 

If you’ve been on one of my previous group trips or to Open Roads Fest, you know I’m capable of creating pretty awesome and memorable experiences for people. I’m excited to be putting these skills to use once again.

👉 Comment “sounds fun” and I’ll DM you the details plus a code for $100 off the trip price.

Got questions? Let me know. I’m happy to help or even jump on a call.

Excited to meet some of you in person!

I never expected to spend a month here. It wasn’t even really on my radar. But like most van life adventures, things rarely go according to plan.

We had hoped to make it up to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland this summer, but with the fires closing hiking trails, we ended up spending over a month hanging out in Quebec, which was such a lovely surprise.

Here’s the first photo dump from our time there. 

📸 Photos 1-4: Our campsite at ZEC Des Matres (see my last reel for our campsite at sunset and location details). Where’s my socks with sandals people at?

📸 Photos 5-7: Our $20 CAD per night “campsite” at a marina on Saguenay Fjord where we spent 3 nights. Not pictured is the daily vegan soft serve dipped in dark chocolate hard shell that was consumed every single day. Also not pictured is the amazing French Canadian family we made friends with that we ended up spending an entire week with…that right there is my favorite part of van life.

📸 Photos 8-9: The hike to the Statue of Our Lady of Saguenay Trail. The top 1/3 of the trail was closed, but we still got some nice views, and Herbie crushed a good portion of this hike out of the pack

📸 Photos 10-11: Our free (legal) overnight parking spot on Saguenay Fjord. We stayed here for 3 nights. The tide went out sooooo far, so it was a really fun (and safe) place to splash around at. Word is if you have a kayak, there’s a good chance you’ll see beluga whales. We don’t have anything to paddle - probably my biggest regret of our trip.

📸 Photo 12: Wondering how the @rossmonster is so damm messy after we just cleaned up 3 hours ago 🤪

Quebec road trip highlights Part 2!

📸 Photo 1: This was a 2 minute walk from our campsite at the free town campground in Les Escoumins. 

📸 Photo 2-4: Whale Watching from Les Escoumins. We saw a couple of minke whales which was neat, but in hindsight I would have preferred to do whale watching in Saguenay Fjord instead, where you are more likely to see beluga whales and the scenery is more dramatic. 

📸 Photo 5-8: The ferry from  Les Escoumins across the St. Lawrence River to Trois Pistoles. We were treated to an epic sunrise while we were waiting to drive our @rossmonster Baja on board. The trip across the river took about 2 hours!

📸 Photo 9: Driving up the Gaspé Peninsula. 

📸 Photo 10: The view from our campsite at Aztec Camping near the town of Gaspésie. There’s not a lot of free camping in these parts, so we spent a good chunk of our time in RV parks. 

📸 Photo 11-12: Chute De La Riviere portage. It was a 1 km hike to a beautiful waterfall. It was a Sunday, and it was packed with families and dogs, and everyone was super nice and was curious what brought us all the way up there. The water was take-your-breath-away-cold but felt amazing afterwards.

📸 Photo 13-14: I’ve golfed less than a dozen times in my life, but somehow I’m able to crush the ball. Figured Herbie might have my natural abilities, so we are starting him now so he can go pro and support us in our old age 😂. This golf course was on site at Aztec Camping, so we made a day of it and had a great time.
