From North To Nowhere: Life on the Road

From North To

NOWHERE

TRAVELING THROUGH ALL 50 STATES IN OUR VAN

We are so excited to be out on the road exploring all of America’s beautiful states. Jonlee and I want to visit all 63 national parks, reach the highest points in every state, and discover hidden gems. We’re checking off all kinds of lists and we hope you’ll follow along!

The map below shows where we’ve been so far. It only includes places Jonlee and I have been together while in the van. We have both traveled to a few states over the years separately but this map is exclusively for our 50 state vanlife goal!

Where we've been so far:


VISITING THE HIGHEST POINTS

Jonlee and I have a goal of standing atop the highest point in every state. We went to a couple highest points in the past and then one day decided it would be a cool thing to do while on our road trip. The views are incredible and make for some gorgeous pictures! Click on the button below to see the full list of highest points and their accompanying view.

Jonlee and I try to do this for every country we visit, as well. Earlier this year we were in Thailand and got to summit the highest point in Doi Inthanon National Park at 8,415 feet. So far, that’s the highest we’ve been!

Doi Inthanon NP, Thailand

  • Pit stop through Princeton on our way to the Pinelands in New Jersey 🏰 Very cool campus - mix of really old and new architecture. ✨️ FUN FACTS ✨️ 📚 It was founded in 1746, making it one of the oldest universities in the U.S. 📚 Famous alumni from the university include: - Jeff Bezos - Brooke Shields - F. Scott Fitzgerald - JFK 📚 Famous for its 11 "eating clubs" that cost around $10,000 per year with some clubs requiring an interview and selection process to get in. 📚 Princeton's endowment is $34 billion a year! Because of this, they are one of the best schools for financial aid - students with families making under $65,000/year get to go to school here completely FREE. 📚 Albert Einstein had an office on campus here during his years in the U.S. Have you been to this beautiful school?

  • Spent a gorgeous two days in Cuyahoga National Park! Wanted to share some of the natural wonders that formed over thousands of years 🌿 ✨️ FUN FACT ✨️ Cuyahoga Valley was once an extremely polluted river system that became protected by the government due to public outcry. It essentially became a national park so it could be restored back to its natural beauty before the industrial revolution, as opposed to already having been beautiful and then becoming a protected national park. #vanlife #nps #cuyahogavalleynationalpark #ohio #travel #adventure #hiking #biking #roadtrip #vanconversion

If you look closely at the hut seen in the middle of the photo, that's where they stored the aircraft when not in use. They had to nearly completely disassemble the aircraft before putting it away each day in this shed ✈️ #ohio #cincinnati #dayton #wrightbrothers #nps #history #travel #adventure #vanlife #vanconversion #roadtrip

Spent a gorgeous two days in Cuyahoga National Park! Wanted to share some of the natural wonders that formed over thousands of years 🌿 ✨️ FUN FACT ✨️ Cuyahoga Valley was once an extremely polluted river system that became protected by the government due to public outcry. It essentially became a national park so it could be restored back to its natural beauty before the industrial revolution, as opposed to already having been beautiful and then becoming a protected national park. #vanlife #nps #cuyahogavalleynationalpark #ohio #travel #adventure #hiking #biking #roadtrip #vanconversion

Some shots from around Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio Photo 1: Historic John A. Roebling suspension bridge in Cincinnati, Ohio 🏙 Photo 2: Original front porch of the home where the Wright brothers grew up. Just around the corner is the original bike shop where they designed and created the first ever aircraft using their knowledge of building bikes 🚲 Photo 3: The actual field where the Wright brothers tested their first aircraft. If you look closely at the hut seen in the middle of the photo, that's where they stored the aircraft when not in use. They had to nearly completely disassemble the aircraft before putting it away each day in this shed ✈️ #ohio #cincinnati #dayton #wrightbrothers #nps #history #travel #adventure #vanlife #vanconversion #roadtrip
