Despite yet another long drive from Las Cruces to Las Vegas, and although we finally arrived at our final destination, there was no time to relax. I only had two days for unloading the truck and exploring Vegas with my parents before I would be flying back to Key West. Day 5 – Unloading The Truck The next morning we… Read more →
Arriving in Las Cruces, New Mexico Another full day of driving which began in Austin, Texas in the morning finally got us out of that giant of a state and into New Mexico. We found another place on AirBnb, this time in Las Cruces and it definitely had that Mexican flavor to it. We really didn’t get to enjoy it… Read more →

Another early start during sunrise got us out and back onto the ICW, headed towards Pensacola, Florida. We crossed under the Daughin Island Bridge and through the heavy fog that we had hoped wasn’t a squall. The wind had clocked around to the north so we were able to raise the sails and turn off the motor finally. Soon we… Read more →
As Gustaff and I parted ways on April 23rd in Florence, Colorado I couldn’t help but feel grateful for this unique experience in my life. I never could have imagined that one day I would be traveling around the United States playing guitar and sharing my music for crowds of all kinds. I left Key West early February not sure what… Read more →

The drive through south Montana and Idaho to Utah was spectacular. Gustaff and I made sure to stop when we saw anything worth soaking in.

On April 11th Gustaff, my parents, and I set off on a long drive towards Livingston, Montana. The speed limit was high and the roads were winding. We made a few stops for some wonderful views and a lot of pee breaks (we were well hydrated), and this caused us to spend a lot of time driving after daylight. We… Read more →
