Who Are We?
Hi y'all! We are Katie and Joey, two Coloradans who found their way home after 10+ years of traveling and working around the globe. We just finished converting our 2022 Ford Transit Van into our mobile home on wheels. We are now on a quest to see every US National Park. After that, we've got a lot more of the world to see but one step at a time!
