Hey Reader! It was sweltering in the Sea of Cortez as we floated in clear, turquoise waters on our sailboat one day in late May. Hot and muggy, with a permanent sheen of sweat on our bodies. And I REALLY wanted a loaf of sourdough. Too hot to use the oven. Too hot to even use the stove! What was a girl craving bread supposed to do? ☀️ Use the power of that hot sun, that’s what! I pulled out my GoSun Fusion Solar Oven and got to work. It took a little longer than my regular oven, but when I finally pulled out a steaming, crusty, golden-brown loaf, it was pure magic—all made with the power of the sun. -----THIS EMAIL IS SPONSORED BY GOSUN, A PRODUCT I USE AND LOVE. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN------- And once I started? I couldn’t stop. For weeks, I used my GoSun Fusion Solar Oven almost daily, baking bread, cooking dinners, and making desserts—all without propane, electricity, or fuel. Here Are a Few of My Favorite Solar-Cooked Meals:
Why A Solar Oven is a Game-Changer for Van Life & Off-Grid Living:✅ Cooks Anything, Anywhere – Works in the desert, the forest, even on cloudy and chilly days. ✅ Fuel-Free & Sustainable – No propane, no electricity—just the sun! ✅ Lightweight & Portable – Multiple sizes available for campervans, sailboats, and RVs. ✅ Set It & Forget It – No babysitting required—go for a hike while your meal cooks. ✅ Fast Cooking: Smaller solar ovens can cook meals as quickly as 30 minutes! They can also boil water. This is especially amazing for van life, where most rigs don’t even have an oven. With a GoSun Solar Oven, you can bake, roast, and steam meals completely off-grid. Cooking with the power of the sun feels like magic. And if you love off-grid travel as much as I do, this is one tool you’ll never want to leave behind. ☀️ Check out GoSun Solar Ovens here → https://gosun.co/pages/solar-ovens I love my GoSun Solar Oven, and I hope you do too!

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...
