Oakton, Virginia

I nearly blew out my clutch trying to back my trailer into the tiny space my aunt Janice had recommended next to her garage, but eventually I persevered...by finding an alternate spot in the driveway. Once I was settled in, Janice and I took a walk on some trails near the house and then settled in for an evening of coffee, wine, and chatting. The next day, we went to Arlington to visit my cousin Darren and his wife Nina, and to see my other cousins Marielle and Julianne who were visiting, along with two of Julianne’s friends. Thank heavens for the vaccine making that gathering possible! 

I came back to Oakton for Thanksgiving with much of my mom’s side of the family, including sweet, silly Grandmom. The holiday was a great time, and I got to be present while my cousin Julianne’s boyfriend, Cory, proposed to her in front of the whole family right before Thanksgiving dinner. She said yes! 


Greetings

About Me

I’m a graphic designer, musician, and editor whose job went remote in March 2020. In mid-2021, I sold my house, bought a camper, and decided to hit the road with my two dogs. My homebase is Vermont, and I’ll return eventually, but for now I’m going mobile.
About My Camper

For the first few months of my trip, I was driving Pierogi, a 2014 Toyota Tacoma, and pulling Donna, a 2021 Sun-Lite Classic 16BH camper. Partway through the trip, though, I realized I love this life and wanted to up my game, so I traded in my sweet little setup for a 2022 Thor Sequence camper van, Vincent Van Go(gh). Less in the way of vintage charm, but he rides sooooo fine.
