A New Journey

The Covid19 pandemic has changed many things for so many people. For my family, one of the most significant impact was placing premium value on quality time together and living in the moment. In 2021 when many families remained hunkered down at home, my husband and I decided to travel. Everyone thought we were insane!

After the 2020 Christmas spent at home we visited NYC, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Iceland and Spain. It was during our 15-day trip living in a small campervan that we made a few big decisions. This campervan had the basic necessities: a bed, heater, a cooler, a burner, and much appreciated privacy curtains. Our time was spent mostly outdoors, and we had one of the most amazing experience enjoying nature’s magnificence and the company of each other. While on the road, we were able to continue our work obligations without problems, which seemed the most natural thing to us once we had reliable Internet access. In Iceland, Wi-Fi connections are available in some camp grounds. However, its important to plan ahead, check to see if accommodations are available and choose the facilities that best meets your needs. We used camping.info initially to view the map of the camping locations, ratings and information about many different campsites you can go to https://utilegukortid.is/?lang=en. If you would like to experience Iceland in a camper remember that housing and food costs are high so I would recommend you consider including some prepackage foods for your trip.

Our #kukucamper, #wonderwoman. This was our home for 15 days.

The most important realization for us was that we do not need a lot of things to live a happy and fulfilling life. Though, this thought had crossed our minds previously, we were not able to make it happen, giving the complications we saw at the time.

Fast forward to 2022. Firstly, we are extremely thankful to have survived the pandemic. We have settled most of our commitments in the US. We have embraced a different mindset about life. Now we begin a new journey as nomads, nuevo (new) nomads. we invite you to explore with us different cultures, foods, unique customs and different ways of living. We will provide tips and tricks to make your own trips memorable and enjoyable.

We appreciate your time here with us to share in this new experience. Until next time.

One Love!
