A blog and podcast about living in a van, American travel, American history, movement for the sake of motion and just generally getting out and doing interesting things.
As the title says I have no apparent reason for this trip. But I don’t think one is needed. It’s a lot more fun than what I would be doing if I were staying put and that’s enough of a reason for me.

I am anxiously awaiting your next entry. I have been reading along with your trip and can’t wait to hear more!
Hello, former-Sound-Intern buddy. Hope this finds you well. Am enjoying the posts & pics. Inspiring. Have a great ‘08 and talk soon. - Kevin
Hi
I am the youngest Browne you met outside of Oatman late November. You have a really great site with good writing, images, and general appeal to keep reading.
If you are ever in the Big Apple, feel free to contact my sister and I.

Safe travels
Peace,
Whitney
Thanks for the note. I took down your phone number and then deleted it from the site. I’m not sure when I’ll make it out there. I’ve got some stuff happening on the west coast in May that I want to stick around for and I don’t know that I want to do in a van up there. :) But I’ll definitely let you know when I’m there. Thanks for reading!
Hi Jess! I see that you’re back from New Zealand…and it sounds like the rest of your trip was great. Glad to hear it! Hopefully my pictures made it to you - will enjoy seeing yours when you post them. I agree that guides make traveling a whole different experience. My two weeks in Australia were spent solo and I loved it! However, the next 8 days meeting Kat & Richard, and the whole TUI gang were excellent too. The guides certainly provided much appreciated insider information.
If your year-in-a-car takes you on the road to NY, you’ll let me know!

Great to see your pictures. I think I’ll get them posted on my website, if that’s OK with you, along with some of mine. How’s the van doing? Probably a little more sedentary than New Zealand! I wish you happy trails, new adventures and peace be with you.

Jessica: Congrats on having the boldness to journey out there! Thank you for inspiring others to get out of their comfort zone and go wander!

Greetings friend. I’ve been catching up on your blog. I loved Kauai when I was there and this year we spent a week on the island Hawaii. Have I heard correctly that you are not returning to run the KJAZZ fundraiser? I would be lost without you…..
Sounds like you are a having a fabulous time..Greet your parents for me if they are still with you.
Hi Karen, Never fear, I’ll be there in January no question about it. Hawaii’s pretty cool, but I won’t be missing my plane back to the mainland.
How is everything going? Been to any musicals lately?
Hey Jessica!
(we met at the sushi bar at Kintaro on Kauai) - just wanted to check out your website - your pictures are awesome!
If you are ever in Central PA, look us up!
Hope the rest of your time in Hawaii was wonderful. I’ll keep following your travels!

Hi Laura, Thanks for checking out the website! It was great fun to talk to you to at Kintaro (I went back a couple days later before I left Kauai so I could order the Hanalei for myself). Thanks for the I (hear) Mr. Sushi suggestion for St. Louis. One day I’ll make it out there. Sometime I want to trace the Lewis and Clark Trail. Let me know if you’re ever in Los Angeles. There’s a 50% chance I’ll be there too.
