Mackinac Island is America’s number one summer travel destination according to USA Today and one of our all-time favorite locations! With our first-ever overnight stay ahead of us, we’re about to see the island in a completely different way, but unfortunately, it comes with a hazard we weren’t expecting.

Hey there! We’re Joe + Kalyn!
As online entrepreneurs, we thought, “why not work from home… on the road”? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the ‘vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs that helped keep us on the road and funded the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska.
We recently upgraded to a Brinkley Z3515 (yes, the RV with office space!). Subscribe to our RV living channel to find out what’s next! We love boondocking in remote locations, adventuring through the national parks, and uncovering hidden gems, all while sharing the reality of full-time RV Life and making you laugh along the way.
