Half way done with contract 14 🤯
7 weeks has flown by and we’ve officially survived our first tropical storm 🙌🏼
We love having the opportunity to live and work in so many different places; getting to really experience the culture and way of living in so many parts of this country.

Packing our remaining weekends full of adventures.

SO much left to see and do !

Wanted to share a little more about us and how we manage to travel and do so many adventures. Just two people working full time jobs, taking advantage of a unique way to see the United States.

01/08/2024

In January we had the opportunity to hike Coyote Buttes North, better known as THE WAVE! Permits are difficult to snag, so even though it was freezing, we took on this adventure and had a great time exploring the area.

21/07/2024

Finally made it to Forrest Gump Point. Love this movie. Anyone else?

16/07/2024

This has to be one of our favorite camping locations. But my goodness the wind was crazy.

Camping at Monument Valley | The Good, the Bad, and the...BEAUTIFUL

Monument Valley is an iconic landscape on the Arizona/Utah border and part of the Navajo Nation. It is a popular tourist attraction and is great for viewing...

07/07/2024

For anyone new to following us, let us first say welcome and thanks for following.

We hope to share some of our favorite adventures that the United States has to offer, all while working in various states across the country.

We hope it is entertaining, but that it also provides ideas for easy to do (some not so easy) and fun activities to get out and explore.

Here is one of our more recent adventures in Arizona.

We have visited Horseshoe Bend from the overlook and of course it's beautiful, but we saw people floating in the river below and thought "Hey, that looks coo...

Assignment 14; Lets do this!!

28/06/2024

No better way to kick start summer than with an outdoor, throwback, country concert 🎶 🤠

Enjoyed David Lee Murphy and Brooks and Dunn with family during our time back at home. And, we’ll be honest, it was one of the best concerts we’ve ever been to!

25/06/2024

We made it to our new assignment location!

We did our cross country journey a little different this time and chose to stay home longer and enjoy time with family before heading out east.
Our last few assignments have been within a days drive from home so we were able to enjoy spending time with family regularly.
Knowing we’d be heading clear across the country and those long day trips home wouldn’t be possible, we decided to maximize our family time instead of extending our road trip and stopping to see multiple things along way.

Are we tired?? YES! We covered A LOT of miles in a few days. But, We’re happy to be here and explore this new part of the country.

This area is new to us so send us all of your southeast recommendations!!

21/06/2024

We missed it yesterday because our 6.5 hour driving day turned into almost 12 hours. Just thankful we made it to our hotel safely 🙏🏻

So….Happy SECOND day of Summer ☀️

We think this might be our favorite time of year.
We love the warm weather, long days, sunshine and of course summer nights.

18/06/2024

It has been the year of permits for us!!

We started off the year being selected for permits to hike the iconic Wave in northern Arizona. A permit that people apply for many many times before being selected.
As soon as we signed our contract for AZ The wave and Havasupai were placed at the top of our to-do list.

Kari was diligent about getting on frequently for Havasupai and was lucky enough to connect with someone on FB who was going to cancel their reservations for dates that worked perfectly with our assignment end date. She was on at 8 am sharp the next day and was able to secure the reservation for our first backpacking trip.

And, lastly, we happened to be at work when our coworker mentioned applying for half dome. We knew we’d be in the area for tax home days so decided last minute to apply. And what do you know, Tyler was selected! We have our coworker and the permit gods to thank for that one.

That’s THREE permitted hikes in 6 months 😮 😱 CRAZY.
We’re So so grateful for these opportunities and happy we were able to share them with family and friends.

Let’s see what permits we can score next!

What are your favorite hikes or activities where a permit is required???

08/06/2024

We just completed 9 months straight of working in Southern Arizona with limited time off to really hustle, save and pay down our remaining student debt. We limited ourselves to 6 days off over the last 9 months (3 day weekends helped make that easier) 😴. We scored Havasupai permits for TWO days after our contract ended. So, after completing our contract we hustled to get our rental cleaned and everything packed before driving 5 hours to prepare for our back packing trip. When then spent 4 days unplugged and disconnected in some of the most beautiful parts of the country we’ve seen. After our backpacking trip we drove straight to Sedona where we spent an entire week just RELAXING! Well, mostly. We usually fill our days full of activities when we’re away but that week we limited ourselves to one big activity a day with some days having absolutely nothing. It was the week of rest we needed before we headed out to explore more of the northern Arizona/Utah area. It was such a nice change of pace for us. So, now we’re curious, How do you spend your trips/vacations?? Are you a relax and chill kind of person or are you filling your days full of activities and adventures???

31/05/2024

It’s official, we just received news that our license has posted for our next contract 🙌🏼🙌🏼 we’re SO excited to be heading back across the country for contract number 14 😮 Our last 6 assignments have been out west so we’ve been dying to get back to somewhere on the east coast. Excited to be heading to a NEW state and to check out a part of the country we’ve never been!! Any guesses where we’re headed??

We’ve been trying to come up with the right words to describe our first backpacking trip and are still finding ourselves speechless. The last 4 days was an experience beyond our expectations. Still taking it all it but looking forward to sharing more with you from our time at Havasupai.

So Long to the sunniest city on earth ☀️

11/05/2024

It still seems so crazy how this assignment came about. We were on our summer road trip in Washington when we got a knock on our door from someone staying next to us asking if we’d seen their cat. Their cat had gotten out and was lost so Tyler went to go help find it. While looking, Tyler struck up a conversation with the gentleman who told him he was a “snowbird”. He said he spent his winters in Yuma and would return to Washington for the summer. He talked about how he loved Yuma and the foothills. The NEXT day we received an email from one of our recruiters for two positions in that area. So, of course, back to the neighbors we went to ask all about southern AZ. 7 weeks later we were starting our 13th assignment in Arizona.
Talk about a traveler hub in the winter! We’ve met so many great people at this assignment. Leaving here with the best stories and laughs. We got to explore so much of Arizona during our time here and enjoyed a warm, sunny, winter!
We celebrated the end of our contract/ end of our fellow travelers contract/ welcoming of summer with a taco night by the river.
This is yet another assignment that is hard to leave
And, yes, the neighbor found his cat.

05/05/2024

Finalizing plans for our upcoming time off and we’re looking forward to some days on the water. We are more than ready for some relaxing days like this!!!

03/05/2024

Never thought we would love this desert life so much. The warm weather and sunshine are making it hard to leave Arizona. We may just turn into permanent snow birds! Starting the search for our next assignment helped us realize just how much AZ has made us feel at home and also reminded us how hectic the process of finding your next assignment can be 🤪 😵‍💫.

28/04/2024

Tyler surprised Kari with a day of off-roading adventures! We see why all the snowbirds come here with their ATV’s. It’s a fun way to get out and enjoy the desert foothills.
Another item checked off our AZ bucket list. Trying to get in all our last minute to-do’s before we wrap up this contract. Crazy to think we have just TWO weeks left of desert living 🌵

The hardest part about travel therapy???
‼️GETTING STARTED‼️
If we know anything, we know making the switch from perm to travel is HARD! We’ve been there and questioned if our decision to pursue travel was the right one. We had great jobs after graduating; great coworkers, ideal settings, amazing mentorship and we were both very comfortable where we were at. I think that’s what scared us the most; leaving the comforts of our first job and home and heading off into the unknown. We’re not here to tell you it’s going to be smooth sailing, there will be bumps in the road. We’re just here to tell you, we’ve been there and we know it can seem extremely intimidating, overwhelming and exciting all at the same time. But, we’re also here to tell you it’s the ‼️BEST ‼️decision we’ve ever made 🙌🏼👏
Finding yourself in the same situation?? We’re here to answer any questions you may have! Not sure where to start or feel like you have a million questions?? We’ve been there and would love to help make the transition easier for you.

⬇️ here are some ways we can help⬇️
• message us with any questions
• Check out our blog (link in bio)
• fill out our recruiter form for trusted recruiters (link in bio)
• or reach out to schedule a free zoom call !!
We’d love to be a resource !

Happy National Park Week!
This week needs more than 10 photos to celebrate but here are some of our favorites.
We love finding new ways to explore these parks 🚲 🥾 🛶 🐎. (Check out our story for more!)
Together, we’ve visited 22 different ones. We have a lot to go but have loved being able to explore the ones we have in various ways.
Tell us, what’s the most unique activity or unique way you’ve explored a national park???

14/04/2024

We have now visited the East and West sides of Saguaro National Park and we have to say the West side is our fave! There are SO many more Saguaros and we love the little mountain foothills. Even the drive through the mountain park is phenomenal. We did multiple road side pull offs to check out all the different cacti and take in all the views. And, We probably saw one of the most beautiful moon rises we’ve ever seen while driving through. If you’re debating which side to check out, we say West side = Best side 🌵 😉
