From over-the-road truck drivers to off-grid adventurers - our journey of transformation and discovery
Former truck drivers turned off-grid adventurers, learning and sharing every step of the way.

Our newest family member! We just welcomed this sweet cat to our nomadic family this past Sunday.
We're Luke and Sara, and we were burnt out on traditional life. As over-the-road truck drivers, we spent years traveling the country but never truly experiencing it. We had to make changes for our health and well-being, and in early March 2025, we took the leap into off-grid RV living.
We're just starting out and learning a lot as we go. Our mission is simple: share our authentic experiences, grow our community, and inspire others who might be considering a similar path. We want to help people realize that dreams can become reality.
Through our truck driving years, we've been to every state except Hawaii, Vermont, and Alaska. Now we're exploring them in a whole new way - slowly, sustainably, and with purpose.
