About
Us

Hi there! We're Dylan and Lexi. When we aren't packing the car for our next big trip, we're probably busy planning the next one.

Who We Are

We live for the weekend and spend our time planning fun trips, exploring new places, or tinkering with our car camping setup. We love traveling in our ‘08 Rav4 (lovingly referred to as Honeybear) and have converted her interior to maximize usability when camping while still being able to function as a normal car in our daily lives.

Life for us is always a balance of working, getting on the road as much as we can, and dreaming about the day we can sell everything, convert a bus into a home, and drive around the country for a few years. Seriously. That's why we started this blog!

There is so much car camping can give. For us, it's a way to explore and see all the beauty that nature has to offer, and a way to spend amazing time together. We hope that, through this blog, we can make car camping as approachable as possible so that more people like you pack up your stuff and get on the road with us!

Dylan

Hey! I’m Dylan. 

I take most of the photos and videos you’ll see on this blog. 

I grew up hiking, camping, and hunting and have always had a deep appreciation for the outdoors. This world is such an amazing place, and there is still so much I haven’t seen. One of my biggest goals in life is to visit every national park in the United States. 

Whether it’s crawling down lava tubes in Mono County (shoutout to Mr. Hollis), driving all night to beat a snowstorm to Yosemite, or climbing sand dunes at 11 PM to get the perfect Milky Way picture, I’ve always felt the most “myself” when exploring the outdoors. I hope that, through this blog, I can share some of these experiences with you, and make it easier for others to explore as well.

Some facts about me:

I have a Bachelors Degree in Communications Design from Chico State (Hey CMT guys!)

I used to be a wedding photographer! It was really fun. 

My biggest life goal is to make it to all of the National Parks! I only have 54 to go.

I am the biggest camera nerd. And computer nerd. And drones. I just really like cool stuff.

Hi there! I’m Lexi. 

I am so excited you are here and interested about learning more about car camping, and, I suppose, about us too since you’re on this page. :) 

Some things you might like to know about me are:  

  • I love my cat. His name is Simon and he is the most adorable (albeit orneriest) cat in the world.
  • I love travelling in our little car camper. It is so much fun being curled up in the back knowing that you are on an adventure. 
  • While I enjoy hiking and exploring National Parks, my favorite part about camping is when we have a spot surrounded by trees, it’s dusk, and we have a fire going to roast some marshmallows!
  • I keep photo journals of all the exciting adventures I’ve been on. I love taking photos on my Fujifilm Instax Mini and writing all about the trip. Dylan and I have already completed one book together and have just began our second! 

 

I truly hope that from this blog you learn how to car camp in a way that is inexpensive, and FUN (and that keeps you coming back for more!).
