Welcome to the Tour Blog
Canβt believe it! 11 Years! We actually made it 11 years living full-time on the road in our beloved Eco Womb. Wow! 250 square feet with five people to start, then 350 square feet with seven people at the end. Two babies born on the road, now one adult kid off on his own, and another one making plans to do the same. They have literally grown up on the road, and we as their parents have, too. Such growth! So many miles driven, trails hiked, mountains climbed, oceans swam, events worked, community built, and life lived.
10 years ago we left everything that we knew and tossed it all up in the air for an unknown. We didnβt have a five-year plan, we didnβt have a big savings, and we didnβt have it all figured out how we would actually live on the road. But, the one thing that we did have was a dream, an adventurous spirit, and the yearning to do it differently. 10 years on the road full-time as a family, we did it!! And, even after 2020, going strong!!
As the world has taken a sudden pause because of Covid-19 and this world pandemic we are experiencing, so has our Mama Earth taken a long-awaited sigh. Earth Day this year will look very different for many, including us. But, how can we all create a new normal aligned with a healthier planet for all?
9 years. Wow, almost a decade. Most of most of our kidsβ lives. They really have grown up on the road. And, weβve now explored almost all of the country + parts of Canada. There is still so much to see, but it never really has been about the places, more so the journey we have taken, the growth revealed, the expansion of ourselves in so many ways. Canβt believe 9 years ago we were just learning the ropes.
no more pipelines, no more walls, no more borders, no more hate - letβs build love instead.
no more social injustice, no more economic disparity, no more environmental racism - letβs build love instead.
My name is Connor.
I am 18 years old, and I live full-time on the road in a veggie-powered RV. Being a teenager on the road can be difficult at times, but is also full of rewards.
8 years ago today we took our biggest leap of faith as a family by letting go of our suburban house on a cul de sac, corporate 9-5 job, and everything we had worked to obtain and we jumped head first into a life on the road.
7 years ago yesterday (1/15/11) we took a giant leap into the unknown and left behind our life in the suburbs to hit the road full-time as a family ππ«πππ½
The best thing to happen in 2017. Our sweet Izzy Blue π He has brought such love and light and joy and balance into our home and hearts.
6 years ago today we made a giant leap of faith, took a risk to sell our house and everything in it, hit the road in a tiny home on wheels and made the open highway our new adventure.
2016, what a year! So full of love and heartbreak, success and trauma, abundance and loss for so many, and also global unity, spiritual awakening and amazing memories a plenty.
We did it! After contemplating it for over a year, investing into a new engine, celebrating five years in the original Eco Womb Tour Bus, and then deciding as a family to sell our home, we did it (in less than a couple weeks)!
We have been contemplating this over the past year, mainly since our 15 year old grew taller than his Mama, haha, and we have expanded our Educational Programs and games for events and need a whole lot more storage space for materials.
Five years ago this month, in January of 2011, we were packing up and saying goodbye to our 1900 sq. ft. typical suburban South FL home taking a leap into the unknown to travel full-time in a 256 sq. ft. RV we called the Eco Womb to live simply and simply follow the wind.
The Eco Womb Tour "fueled by love, peace and veggie grease" launched 5 years ago in November 2010 in South Florida. We have been from coast to coast, in 40 states so far, and have done over 75 events nationwide teaching on simple and sustainable living, alternative fuels, solar energy, going zero waste, getting outside and hiking with your family, and the importance of eating organic, Non-GMO foods for our kids for our future!
2 years ago tonight I was making some hot tea, putting my feet up after a long day out buying towels and a car seat, and planning a weekend full of nesting around the farm that we had landed at just five days prior.
In celebration of International Babywearing Week, we have been sharing pics all week on social media of us wearing our little man. At 23 months we still wear him everyday, as we have done with all of our kiddos for the past 15 years, to nurture, nourish, exercise, work, and take care of our other children, while still being close in arms.
This sign and the super sweet little girl holding it has been marching alongside us in protest of GMOs and big-chemical-claiming-to-be-seed-company-giants like Monsanto π· for the past 4 years.
So thankful to all of our Sponsors who support our work on the road, and grateful these kiddos help share the love with their enthusiasm and energy!
Spent the New Moon festival weekend at Butterfly Farms breathing in all the love from our ever expanding road family β€οΈ So very grateful for every conscious connection made, working with new friends full on love for all and making change happen, drums around a fire, singing, dancing, being.
Oh California you had me from when I first saw mountain meet sea ππ΄π And, when we can land here for a pitstop overnight with Mama Ocean at our door, I'll take it and give thanks to all that is and for the journey unfolding.
It was the kids' idea to pick up litter in the park. And, even after filling one large bag each, they wanted to do more. Because it's instinctual to protect the earth.
Earth Day is everyday! πππ And, this day was spent unplugged and in nature, at the park exploring and just being together. Came across this tree and couldn't leave π Seriously the amazing design of Mama Earth's paintbrush.
We've been expanding our educational programs to include more fun games and activities and had SO much fun at San Diego Earth Fair playing bottle brick bowling and recycle swish with all the kiddos πππ
And, that's a wrap! Kicked off our 2015 Tour at San Diego Earth Fair and had a blast sharing the love! πβ¨π Met some great people and made some amazing connections!
We were all outside cleaning up the Eco Womb for our big Earth Day event to launch our 2015 Tour, and we turn around and see this.
First time in San Diego and what a warm welcome!!! Thanks for having us at the studio San Diego Living πππβ¨
Love parking our home at Mama Ocean. Love pitstops as beautiful as this. Love the California coast.
Sunsets and bike rides and chasing waves and saying yes. These are the days I hope they remember most. Because even in the swirl of having four kiddos with big spirited souls and differing needs at the same time, I guess especially because of that swirl, we try and say yes often so they know they are being heard. So they know that they each individually matter.
Happy 12 Year Nomadiversary to us!! ππ«π« 12 years of living in our beloved Eco Womb, traveling, growing, exploring, expanding, rooting down, and continuously living life to itβs fullest π
