Hi, we’re Elyse, Alan, and our pup Kodi.
After we retired, we hit the road chasing a dream: visiting every U.S. National Park. What started as a bucket list turned into a lifestyle — part road trip, part treasure hunt, collecting those little park passport stamps like they’re gold.
It’s been all about scenic routes, cozy camp vibes, bonus pit stops, and moments that make your heart skip. So far, we’ve explored 23 National Parks (and counting!), and every one has added a new layer to our story.
Somewhere along the way, I realized: life is about love, and the journey is the destination. At the end of our first big adventure, it hit me — I want to inspire others by sharing what it’s like to live and love on the open road.
My first book, “A Van, A Dog, and The Wild West,” drops soon … and next up? We're rolling out to the rugged Pacific Northwest for our next epic chapter. Follow along… one wild park at a time.
