While on land...

If you ever read my blog you'll be well acquainted with the fact that I love working and living on ships.

But we all know that's not my life 100% of the time.

So, when I'm 'stuck' on land I sleep on friends couches and in my car and travel around. I've thought of possibilities for alternatives to this but since I'm not even in the country for long periods of time it's simply silly to get a place, pay rent, sublease, be unreachable in case of a problem, etc.

Browsing the internet I just came across a company in Portland Oregon that makes exactly what I need. I have a car; a cute little silver coupe with a spoiler on the back. She's ancient now but she still runs well and treats me good when I give her attention (she always holds a grudge initially when I leave for extended periods of time). Knowing she's not going to be around forever I've considered a van or live-in vehicle, but I just don't want to drive something that big around all the time, especially in the big cities.

This company, The American Dream Trailer Company custom makes each of their super tiny, yet very versatile trailers. There's even a boat on the roof!!! So when I want I can go out on the water and enjoy that lovely feeling of being rocked to sleep...for a short nap :)  It also sleeps two!



Sooo, who's up for some time off, maybe a trip through the Rocky Mountains? We can camp for a few days or however long we want at each spot; go hiking, biking, swimming, boating, fishing, you name it. Just enjoy nature and the freedom of life.



I just need to work another year here in Korea and then I can afford it. Although the trailers are really cheap, I'm really poor!

If you have one, know someone who has one, get one yourself, please let me know what you think. I'd love to hear about these nifty looking trailers. And maybe someday, I'll own one myself!

Who's up for a camping trip?

It's been years since I went camping. Way too long! And I miss it.

Recently stumbled across this extremely useful website for camping tricks. Maybe you know some or most of these already, but maybe you're like me and you'll just keep going, wow, I never thought of that!

So anyone up for trying some of these things out? My favorites are the seat hammocks for car camping (I have a hitch on my car so that's TOTALLY useable), the tic tac boxes for spices (I love spices so this would be a handy way to not have to bring your glass containers from home), oh and the pigs 'n a blanket on the stick!!!! oh yeah :), and the floor tiles are so much more fun than the blow up cushion ones I've always used.

So check out the website, see what you'd like to try and hit me up for a camping trip!

I want to watch the sunset in one of these;

Get these seat hammocks for car camping.

While eating one of these;



Before crawling into one of these....

Invest in a two-person sleeping bag.

on a fun cushy floor like this!

Use foam floor tiles for a softer, more comfortable tent floor.

Who's with me??!!
