We built out our own van in 2018 and have been enjoying vanlife fully! In the fall of 2018, we toured around Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana. In 2019 we covered Newfoundland quite thoroughly and then did a big tour of the US parks in Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and California. We have spent the winter of 2020 in the beautiful Kootenays of BC, skiing and spending time with family.

Adventurers

Their stay was short but pleasant. We'd be happy to have them return in the future. We'd like to have the opportunity to have a longer visit and get to know them better. (Maybe on their way west next time and they could share pictures of their new grandson?) Safe travels! Hope to see you soon.

Delightful

I was left grateful to get to know this couple even briefly. They are both kind and generous of spirit. As guest they are easy going and low/no maintenance. Ideal experience. The BigTurtle is welcome back any time.
