“We’re REALLY doing this!” – The Story Continues

We are the Smiths.

In 2015, we started this site when we packed up our house into a 30 ft camper and went full time RV living with our little kids. We bought our first house together a year later and then enjoyed Airstream travel and vacations for a few years.

2024 sees us planning our section hikes of the Appalachian Trail thru-hike of the 220 mile John Muir Trail (Nuumu Poyo) and we are reusing this blog to keep everyone updated on our preparation and progress before, during and post this awesome trail.

The Origin story of #ReallyDoingThis : 

When Michael first discovered and shared the idea of packing all of us into a tiny house on wheels, the reaction he got was “We’re REALLY doing this…” and that’s what we decided to name this website that documents our journey from our “sticks and bricks” (what fulltimers call regular, stationary housing) to fulltime RV living.

Years later, we are now back into sticks and bricks but have not lost our sense of adventure.
