Overlanding Adventures and Insights to Inspire Your Journey
Discover insightful reviews, essential gear guides, and captivating travel tales tailored for fellow mid-lifers seeking inspiration and authentic experiences. Embark on adventures with us as we explore overlanding, travel, photography, and more.
Who are we?
We are Jay and Alana, a spirited duo embracing the joys of an empty nest through truck overlanding, travel, and hiking. Based in SW Ohio, we traverse the map and create unforgettable memories along the way. We've also developed a penchant for bourbon and whiskey hunting during our travels. When not on the road, we're immersed in creative endeavors like stained glass and metal working. With our 'All in or all out' mentality, we have a diverse array of knowledge and experiences.
We hope to inspire fellow mid-lifers to embrace life's adventures and savor the freedom that comes with this stage of life.
Our home away from home…
”Wilmaaa” is a 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel. Her drivetrain and suspension is largely stock other than a 2” lift and some airbags in the rear to help with the added weight we carry.
The topper is an AT Overland Atlas. We’ve made a ton of modifications to the interior of the topper and the cab to help us stay organized and comfy in this very small space.
Travel Inspiration
Jay is a professional photographer. His work to capture landscape and travel images kicked off our travel and remains an important part of our adventures. While more time is spent recording video for our YouTube channel these days, photography is still a creative outlet that we both enjoy. While Alana may not actually take a photo, she will often rise well before first light with Jay in the hopes of experiencing a remarkable sunrise and moment. This is great since Jay is scared of the dark and needs her around to keep the boogie man and sasquatch away!
