2023 may have been HoneyTrek’s biggest travel year since we started our around-the-world trip 4,363 days ago! We road-tripped 26 states, 7 Canadian provinces, and a total of 20,209 miles—that was just around North America! Across 10 more countries, we backpacked from Germany to Romania, skied Bulgaria, kayaked with icebergs in Newfoundland, sailed around Mexico’s…
2022 was our 10th year on honeymoon, Buddy the Camper’s 5th year in the family, and the year we reached the 70th country on our 7-continent journey. Hitting a decade of nomadic living, we felt a deep sense of gratitude. Back in 2012 we started traveling to celebrate our marriage, but as the years have…

Considering Buddy the Camper had already traversed the continental divide, summited 10,000-foot mountain passes, and off-roaded his way across…
When you move almost every day, you cover a lot of ground in a year…like 17,756 miles by car alone. We traveled at a crazy pace in 2018, but the camper inspires us to keep on rolling because there is always another national park, ski village, beach town, monument, honkeytonk, or good friend just around…
If 2016 was the year of busting our hump, 2017 was the year to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Does this mean we slowed down? Heck no! Once we finished our Nat Geo book, we explored eight countries, bought a vintage RV, road tripped 20,000+ miles, flew around the country on a book tour,…
