Hey guys!
We are Kira, Logan, and Holly 🐾

In 2017 we made the decision to sell our house and most of stuff and traded it all
for life on the road. We bought our 2015 Roadtrek Zion and set out in November
2017.

Since hitting the road full time we have covered over 55,000 miles, visited 45
National Parks, we have made it to the Arctic Ocean, hiked in Alaska, lounged in the
The Florida Keys, and been blown away by the breathtaking beauty of Newfoundland.
In 2 years we have divided our time between the U.S, Canada, Mexico, and Ireland! The
the best part is, there is still so much to see!

We made the transition to living in our tiny home on wheels with zero experience in
an RV. But two years into this journey in under 100 square feet of living space we
have adapted to our space and have never looked back! We do the van shuffle
every day, we have gotten our selves stuck a time or two, and are definitely in need
of shirts that say “I’m sorry for what I said when we were leveling”. We spend most
of our time camped out on public land, with a few great parks and campgrounds
every now and again.

We love chatting with fellow travelers and folks considering this lifestyle.

We hope to see you down the road!

Hey there! My name is Ryan! My wife’s name is Heather. We have 3 children, Corbin (12) Zoey (5) and Zachary (4). Together we are fulltime5. We started fulltime living in our RV almost 1 year ago! We sold our house and everything in it to try out RV Life! Our goal was to be able to spend more time with our children as we gave up things like birthday presents and Christmas presents to experience more quality time spent together! We now buy our children fun experiences..rather then objects that filled our house with clutter! Since we have downsized our lives we have been able to save more money and work less, giving us the opportunity to see more places and do more things with our 3 amazing children. We love being able to travel and since we homeschool our kids, traveling for us is very easy. We always have our laptops with us and they can do their school work from almost anywhere in the world! Most things that they experience on the road can also be used towards school. For example, our oldest son blogs and that can be used for his English and socials!

We are currently on the biggest adventure of our lives as we ditched the RV for 2 months back home and started backpacking southeast Asia! We’re in Thailand at the moment and will be headed to Cambodia next, followed by Vietnam where we will spend our new years and Christmas! We leave Vietnam January 15th and return home to Canada to resume RV Life! We hope to be able to show our children a side of the world they never would have seen before had we not switched our lifestyle. Experiencing a new culture and seeing how other people live gives them a new perspective..and hopefully humbles them at the same time! We are extremely excited for what our families’ future holds as we are beyond excited to be able to start a new chapter in our lives!

Sincerely Ryan and Heather Schmand
