How do you make your coffee?
Hey, Reader,
You might not know this about me yet, but I REALLY love coffee. In fact, I am borderline obsessed with coffee and NEED it every morning. You better not talk to me until I have my coffee!
Did you know that caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive drug in the world?
I have a system in place: A hand-grinder where I grind whole beans. A tiny electric hot water kettle. And a simple pour-over method that results in delicious coffee.
Then I sit and read the newspaper on my iPad as the outside world wakes up.
As I write this email, I'm sitting in my van on a forest service road in the Sierra Nevada. Birds are chirping. Bees are buzzing. The air smells of sage and pine, and we have a view of the distant hills. I feel so happy here, comfortable in my van but immersed in nature.
The perfect spot for my cup of morning coffee, right?

I’m really excited to tell you about my friends at Wayfarer Vans and their Ford Transit and RAM ProMaster campervan conversions. They’re simple and spacious with modular furniture, giving you everything you need and nothing you don’t. Their conversions, which are built in their Colorado Springs, CO facility, start at just $20k.
Best of all, they offer a nationwide pickup and delivery program so you can get your completed van without ever leaving the house! They will cover the cost of shipping your vehicle one-way up to $2,000. If you’re looking for a simple, affordable, high-quality campervan, check them out: Wayfarer Vans Conversions

Everyone has their own way of enjoying their cup of morning joe.
Some people love the French Press. Others swear by the pour over, like me. And others have small electric coffee pots inside their vans.
My friends over at Engineers Who Van Life have an ESPRESSO MAKER in their van. Luxurious, right?
There are SO MANY ways to make coffee inside a campervan or an RV, that I asked my writer Brooke Alexander to write an in-depth post about all the ways to make coffee on the road.

But I also want to know, what is your preferred way to make coffee?
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday :)

Hey Reader! When we first cast off on our CT-41 sailboat headed down to Mexico in 2020, we were so excited. There was a LOT to learn about cruising that differed from our simple sailing and anchoring around the San Francisco Bay, which we'd done since 2016. Looking back now, each frustration taught us something valuable about what it really takes to live and travel by boat. If you’re new to cruising — or just dreaming about it — these lessons will help you skip the headaches and sail with a...
Hey Reader! Just a couple weeks ago, I had no idea we were going to come back to Italy this year. But when Indie campers offered us a camper in exchange for a review on my blog, it was hard to refuse. Especially when I'm so into travel hacking with points that I found AMAZING flight deals using my Capital One Venture rewards card. (two one-way airfares on Air France from MSP-Venice for just $50 and 20,000 points). So, we booked the tickets and picked up the camper just five days later in...
Hey Reader! Yes, I live in a van, and no, I am not a huge fan of road trips. The long hours in the car, the researching where to camp, the meals on the go, searching for water to fill our tanks. I need exercise! I hate sitting around! But there is ONE THING that keeps me sane when we do our cross-country drives. And that is Planet Fitness. The Yuma, Arizona Planet Fitness No matter where we go in the U.S., we plan our routes and stops wherever there's a Planet Fitness. We can get out of the...
