Travel with our family

Join us as we explore the world in our carbon-neutral, 4x4 expedition vehicle called The EcoRoamer. We are happy to share our travel adventures, family memories and homeschooling experiences as we journey down the road less traveled.

Dirty, dirty, dirty!

EcoRoamer in the news

There’s even a plug for its debut at Overland Expo. Congratulations, Jay!  Thanks for the plug! Yes, a very exciting day today. The story also got picked […]

Houston!

Hi Guys, Quick update, I’m half-way to the Overland Expo. One Thousand miles behind me, and another 1,000 miles to go. I had an appointment today in Houston with Matt Hardigree, one of the editors from Jalopnik (the best car culture site on the net, IMHO) – He did a full photo shoot and they are going to run […]

Fracking unbelievable…

DONE!!! …well sort of

The EcoRoamer is officially: “FINISHED”! Ok, Ok… so I know it’s never actually, really finished, and there will always be things to improve, but for now, after 2.5 years of building and 6 years of planning, I am officially declaring the “Build” phase over. Long live the “traveling” phase! What the heck do I do with my spare […]

Something completely different…

Man, I’m staying out of this one…. Anybody want to talk about something more interesting? Like maybe the environmentally friendly composting toilet:

Really!?? AGAIN?

We’re back! …sort of.

Hi Guys, OK, OK, so I guess we’re WAAAAY overdue for an update again. Sorry! We’ve been living in the EcoRoamer full time for two months now, as we completed our coast-to-coast shakedown trip. The truth is, it has been more like an ongoing ExPo reunion because we have stopped to see so many of the great […]

Stuck!

Delta airlines canceled our flight to San Francisco on Sunday, despite the beautiful blue skies… As a demonstration of their “commitment to the satisfaction of their valued customers” they offered to waive the $100 fee for re-booking on another date. So &%$#’ing generous! Anyhow, we’re not in the truck yet, but will (hopefully) actually be […]
