https://trevabrandonscharf.com/hll7rtntd It took weeks, but all of our stuff is happily in the hands of friends and dozens and dozens of people from craigslist. We realized our stuff, even really nice things, aren’t that valuable, and we ended up giving away much of our things to nice strangers on Craigslist. It was a very fun experience to give people cool things, much better than dumping it at the goodwill or throwing it away. Jenine even found a nice home for her left over christmas wrapping paper, now that is recycling!

follow Before we get into the first leg of our adventures, I want to answer the number one question we get asked: How did you decide to DRIVE to Argentina?? It started as a common goal George and I shared: take a timeout to travel before starting a family. We got married one year ago, and we decided that it was now or never.
https://www.fandangotrading.com/ut6jhi1x5https://www.fandangotrading.com/9u5l056it We assumed we’d take 4-6 months to go “somewhere”. George asked, “Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world?” My immediate response — South America — to which George replied with what would seem like a ludicrous and unattainable idea, “Why don’t we just drive there?”

Much to our surprise, we learned that many adventurers before us had completed the journey (major shout out to all of you that left great blogs, books, and info in your wake!). And suddenly our 4-6 month time-out has snowballed into a year-plus lifestyle change that involves living in a van and getting rid of almost everything we own. We couldn’t be more thrilled.

We tested out our inflatable paddle board (so fun!!), George checked off his annual wake boarding session, and I was reacquainted with the cold water of a snow-melt lake (wish I could say I missed that cold). The weather is just beautiful here (warm nights are a rarity in SF!) and we sat around our first of many MANY campfires that are surely in our future…so happy our first campfire of the trip was with my amazing family.

It was a complete success by the way. Cooking steaks on coals

https://www.parolacce.org/2024/09/18/v1lm5xxc0v6 Great first post. Didn’t realize you were sleeping in the minvan. The sportsmobile is going to feel like a mansion!
https://ragadamed.com.br/2024/09/18/vmd6vzwjgtg There are so many wonderful things about the minivan, but I can’t tell you how many times we’ve already said, “Wow, the Sportsmobile is going to solve this problem…” Its going to be a rad upgrade for sure

source url Hi Jenine,
click Yay, you guys are off! No more planning! Guess what – we changed our plans. We’ll leave this December. Tired of waiting around! We are shooting for a departure in the first couple weeks so we can get settled in somewhere in Baja before the holiday rush. So our paths may actually cross on the road. Definitely swing by on your way down so we can meet.
https://trevabrandonscharf.com/1dsp42cs Karie
https://livingpraying.com/1ube8uy Thats great Karie! I’m sure our paths will cross and current plans have us on staying in Baja till after the New Year. Looking forward to meeting in person (and for our Sportsmobiles to meet!) I’ll reach out when we are driving back through the bay area late August, or early-mid September. Will keep you posted!
