The Crazy Story Of How Shae & I Got Engaged
Happy anniversary to us! Shae and I got married 15 years ago on Virginia Beach oceanfront and I realized recently that I'd never shared on the blog the story of how we met and got engaged.

Here’s Why Full-Time Travel Isn’t A Vacation (For Us Anyway)
When hearing that Shae and I travel full time, I think a lot of people assume that we're on a permanent vacation. That couldn't be further from the truth though.

Going Home When Home Isn’t Home
Not having a home means nowhere feels like home. That might seem like an obvious statement - especially given that our site name begins with "No Home" - but it's something I only realized this past week.

The Most Terrifying Drive Of My Life
Back in 2009, Shae and I had what was - up until that point - the most terrifying drive of our lives.
