Sleeping around Cabbagetown

May 23 – October 12, 2014. It’s moving day. I get up and feed the dogs and take them on their morning walk. Greg feeds the chickens and lets them range a bit in the yard. We wash our clothes along with the sheets and towels we have used the past week. I remake the …read more

Working around Cabbagetown

May 24,2014 – October 11, 2014. “Call.” “Bruce.” “Junk.” No, Donald the Plumber isn’t speaking to me. He stands behind me, in the middle of Savannah Street, telling his phone to ring up Bruce. “Bruce? I’ve got a water heater you can come pick up.” He gives Bruce directions.

Shake Down Cruise Day 2

Monday, September 15, 2014. “Here use this bandana.” Greg didn’t look good. He took the bandana and wrapped it over his nose and mouth like an old west bank robber. Diesel fumes were permeating the van. It was rainy, the sky was darkening and we had a long way to go, but I wanted to …read more

Shake Down Cruise Day 1

Sunday 9/14/14 Through the back window of The Great A’Tuin’s cozy interior we see flashing blue lights speeding towards us to where we are parked in the Pilot parking lot in St. Augustine Florida. We step outside as two policemen exit two police vehicles stopped at the rear of the van. This is our first …read more

About Us

Hey! We're Greg and Duwan. We have been nomads since 2011. We have traveled by sailboat, have house sat across the country, and are currently roaming around in our converted Ford cargo van, Ballena Blanca, exploring all the amazing things the world has to offer. This blog is a chronicle of our adventures and travels. If you enjoy our stories, leave us a comment on a post. If you want to know more about us, click here.
