    • REAL LIFE on the Road 
It may seem like full-time RV families live in 
Lalaland, but I can assure you, the real stuff happens to everyone. 
Injuries, weddings, deaths, breakdowns, doctor visits, bad days, and good days are all part of our lives. 
In this week's YouTube video, we talk about how recent events have prevented us from adventuring for a little while. (Link is in bio)

    • We’re off the road for a little while, and we’re taking some time to: 
-visit with family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦
-more deeply explore a single place 📍
-rest 💤
-recharge 🔋
-do some chores 🧹
It’s fun to be back in my childhood hometown and to rediscover all the beautiful natural places North Dakota 🦬 has to offer.
Even though North Dakota doesn’t border an ocean 🌊, we still have plenty of water features. 
From the lakes, to the rivers, and even the meandering creeks, it’s quite easy here to enjoy a lovely day at the “beach.” 🏖
And, on these hot sunny ☀️ North Dakota days, we’ve been bringing our @RTICoutdoors hard cooler and soft cooler with us. They ensure we have frosty cold drinks 🧊 and safe-to-eat chilled food 🥕 all day long!
While the hard cooler is only up to my knees, and easy for one person to carry, it doubles as a perfect snack stand for the kids 👦🏼 and a way to keep our snacks sand-free 🎉. And as all you parents out there know, this is a big deal at the beach! 🏝

See my stories today for all the details! 
⬇️ What kind of beach days do you have where you are? Ocean 🌊 , river 🏞, lake 🐟, or creek💦?

    • Hey 👋 hey 👋 hey 👋 
It’s been awhile since we had a little intro here, so we will fix that 🤣
We are the Shyskis! We are so happy you’re here! We are a full time RVIng family that loves being in nature for the majority of hours in the day. 
We lived in Hong Kong for 8 years and South Korea for 2 years before that, so if you didn’t know, we love being expats! Living and working in another country can teach you so much about yourself and the world 🌎. 
Both our kids were made in China 😁 and they were both born in Hong Kong. ♥️ They still prefer rice over noodles and tofu over beef. 😜
Now, we live full time in our travel trailer and we get to explore our own country more intimately (USA). 
Some things we’ve learned so far on the road:
1. The national forests are truly one of our countries’ greatest assets.
2. You really never have to pay for camping. There are thousands (spectacular might I add) of places to camp for free.
3. Being together 24/7 is not easy. There are definitely hard moments. Moments that can really test your inner strength, but has taught me more about myself than I ever knew before.
4. Almost every single person we have met on the road, no matter where they come from, how rich they are, their political or religious beliefs, young or old, have been so incredibly kind, welcoming and genuine toward us. 
5. We don’t need a lot of stuff in this life to be happy. 
So, now that we got that out of the way 🤣, tell us something about you! 👇🏼

    • ✨KID FRIENDLY ST. GEORGE, UTAH✨
Our new YouTube episode is up (link in bio). 
It’s all about awesome places to go with your family in St. George, Utah- an area quickly becoming more and more on the map. There are thousands of things to do there and trails to hike, but these are some that we did and we can highly recommend them! 
♥️ Let us know if you have any questions and as always, subscribe if you like what you see. ♥️

    • It’s so hard to believe that we’ve been living in our RV and traveling around for almost 9 months! My “baby” was only 9 months old when we left Hong Kong. Now he’s 18 months. He’s grown up (basically) in our home trailer. I knew time was going to fly, but I didn’t realize just how quickly it really goes. 
That saying…”the days are long but the years are short…” cannot be closer to the truth for me. Some days…boy are they long, and at times hard, but the time passes so incredibly quickly that if I don’t intentionally remind myself of that, even in the hard and long moments, the days, weeks and months can fly by. 
I am so incredibly grateful for the amazing moments. I’m also grateful for the hard ones, for if I never had tough moments, I might not ever realize just how sweet the precious moments are. 
♥️

    • Have you ever reached your social media limit?
For us, recently, we have! 
So now, partly because we have no other choice (Death Valley has limited service 🤣) we are going to step away from our account for a little while to take a break from screens. 
We love this community and thoroughly enjoy sharing about family friendly destinations and motivation for getting outside with kids! We just need some time away to refresh and reanalyze what we want to share about moving forward. 
We will certainly be back and hopefully refreshed and recharged! ❤️

    • There is something magical about being outside at sunset, watching your children play in the dirt. When there is just barely enough light left to see, they come running to the door, dirt under their finger nails and smiles on their faces. I LOVE that they LOVE being outside. 
I love that we are able to be outside more than we ever have before. It nourishes the soul and reminds me of just how grateful I am to live on this earth. 
Are you getting enough outside time or are you hoping for more?

    • Let’s talk about “RENT”
Where do we park our trailer every day? How much is it? 
We are here to give you the long answer. 🤣
1. We boondock! Boondocking is camping on public lands (BLM and National Forest Land) for free! That means, we fill up our fresh water tank (80 gallons) and when we run out of that, we need to head on back to a campground. This usually lasts us about 2 weeks. After that point, our black and grey tanks are full and we are about out of fresh water. Boondocking is by far our favorite way to “camp.” It’s GORGEOUS and we can really get close to nature (pic above 👆🏼)
2. We stay at campgrounds. There are levels of campgrounds. Some are resorts, and some are the bare min. We bought a camping membership to Coast to Coast and therefore, we save on camping in the long run. There are lots of different memberships you can get. I’ll do another post about that. 
Overall, between boondocking and staying at campgrounds, we budget about $20 a night on “rent.” Sometimes less and sometimes more.
⛺️Are you a boondocking or campground sort of person!?
