Always Take the Detour
Always Take the Detour is about choosing the scenic route—on the road and in life. We sold the house, packed up an RV, and hit the road full-time to chase curiosity, connection, and the stories you only find when plans change.
Through travel, humor, real talk, and practical tips, we share what it’s like to build a life that values experiences over expectations and proves that the detour is often the point.

Our Favorite Adventure
Visiting Montana for the month of July
Of course, Glacier National Park is our favorite – you cannot beat the magic that park radiates. From crystal clear glacier water to grizzly bears foraging for their next snack. Everywhere you turn, beauty will just take your breath away.

Support Our Journey
We traded our fixed address for open roads after realizing most of our favorite memories happened outside and far from home. What started as weekend camping trips slowly turned into full time travel, national parks, and chasing good weather across state lines.
We love slow mornings, long hikes, roadside diners, and finding places that never show up on the top ten lists.
