Who We Are
In 2017, a wanderlust couple took a leap of faith, sold their house, and bought a brand new travel trailer to explore the country with their kids. TREKKN was born from their passion to share with the world their real life explorations of national parks, RV life, outdoor cooking, and just about anything related to an epic road trip adventure.
When TREKKN changed ownership a few years later, it was time to expand beyond the road warrior lifestyle. We celebrate the near and far to discover local living, weekend adventures, brag-worthy dining experiences, and everything in between. That includes continuing to reinforce our expertise in RV Living by sharing tips, recommendations, and insights based on real experiences. To that end, we expanded our distributed team of writers and support staff.
One thing remains the same and that’s our unwavering passion for travel, exploration, experiences and adventure.
So whether we’re delving into the tranquility of a serene lake, discovering a local art school, or uncovering the natural wonders of the most visited national park in the country (Great Smoky Mountains), we aim to provide our audience informative, enjoyable, and inspiring content. We draw from real-life, first-hand experiences to provide you with the best tips, advice, and recommendations to ignite your desire for adventure.
Whatever led you to our site, we hope you enjoy our personal stories, recommendations, and research. We hope our articles, graphs, tables, charts, and photographs inspire you to create a never ending bucket list filled with beach and mountain travel destinations, national park visits, local events, and must-try dining experiences.
Thank for being a part of our quest.

A Bit About Our Contributors
Kristen B lives & works from her RV, primarily boondocking off-grid. She owns and operates a women-led travel company, Legit Trips. Kristen loves to explore new places and inspire others to do the same. If she’s not typing away on her laptop, she’s off on an adventure- hiking, biking, or SUP boarding. You can follow her RV adventures @PerpetualMoves and learn more about her travel company at LegitTrips.com.
Sarah K has been a full-time solo traveler for 4 years and counting, but she’s been a solo adventurer for decades. She owns her own copywriting business, Flourish Writing, which she operates from the road. Sarah loves to explore state and national parks with her two dogs, Orion and Piper—wherever they’re allowed, of course. When she’s not whipping up web copy for fellow entrepreneurs, she’s probably out hiking or paddle boarding with the dogs in tow. Learn more about her freelance writing business at FlourishWriting.com.
Jane C is based in Santa Barbara, California, where she draws inspiration from the juxtaposition of sea and mountains that frame her surroundings. Her experiences as an outdoor educator on both coasts cemented Jane’s belief that time spent in nature leads to extraordinary moments of growth and connection. Today, whether at work as a project manager, educator, and writer, or at play in the wilderness of the U.S., Canada, and beyond, Jane seeks to weave together the practical with the profound.
After graduating from college with a degree in animal behavior, Isabel O allowed herself some time to get closer to nature. She took a leap to the European countryside and hiked her way through Switzerland, Italy and Portugal before returning to the US. It’s clear now she was meant to be an outdoorsy gal as she spends her days camping and hiking the trails along both coasts and cozies up to the campfire with pen and paper to chronicle her travels. TREKKN is fortunate to have her on the team.
Erin M is rooted in South Dakota, but wanders every chance she gets to see the beauty that nature holds. From hiking to climbing, there’s not an adventure she’ll turn down. After renovating her 1976 Airstream Argosy, Erin knows the ins and outs of living life on the road and trailer maintenance. Whether she’s on the road with her dog and partner or at home curled up with a good book, Erin is always planning her next adventure because life is meant to be lived outdoors.
Todd B loves a competitive game of table tennis, a breathtaking hike, and exploring new places. He lived and traveled in an RV with his family as they traveled throughout much of the US and parts of Canada. Todd has extensive knowledge about RV travel, safety, and accessories and has shared many of his stories here on TREKKN. When he’s not busy launching and building small businesses, you may find him staring at pictures of Glacier National Park (probably his favorite spot on earth).
Julie B specializes in helping you whip up delicious meals in your tiny RV kitchen, as well as RV organization tips and helping fellow RVers make their RV feel like home. Her favorite RVing spot is in Banff National Park in Canada where yes, the water really is that blue and the people really are that nice.
Josiah B gained invaluable experience while living on the road with his family, during which time he felt overcome with the desire to continue exploring. That search landed him in Seward, Alaska, where he currently resides. His love for the outdoors is welcome with open arms in the Last Frontier, and with an endless amount of hiking and backpacking to be done, he’s eager to share the best that Alaska has to offer.
