As we meet new people throughout our travels, there are two questions that consistently arise: “where is your favorite place?” and “what is all that stuff on your roof?” The first question is almost impossible to answer. Our favorite place is different depending on who you ask, where we’ve just been, what time of year it is, etc. 

For Abby, domestically, it’s Colorado in the summer. She loves the people, the mountain culture and most importantly…the kayaking. As for international travel, she spent her 18th birthday sailing through the Greek Isles, and it is forever stamped in her heart as a favorite. 

Peter definitely favors the desert Southwest in the fall and spring. He loves the vastness, the landscape, and the infinite number of dirt roads to explore. Internationally, it is hard for him to choose, but Norway and Iceland are at the top of the list. He loves the scenery, the kayaking, and the spirit of adventure of the Scandinavian people. (See more about our RV trip through Europe.)

As for me, my favorite place is wherever my family is, preferably someplace as far into the wilderness as possible, the more remote the better. It doesn’t really matter where, as long as my favorite people are with me. As far as international travel is concerned, Croatia is at the top of my list because of the people and the beautiful islands that punctuate the coast - perfect for week-long kayak trips. 

But ask us again next year, and we may all have a very different response. That’s the great thing about travel - you are constantly exposed to new and wonderful people and places that might just take the top honor as a new favorite place.

As for the second question, “what is all that stuff on your roof?”, it’s a little more complicated. So, we thought it would be easier to show you in person exactly what we have on our roof, where we store everything, and how we get it all up there.
