About Justin and Kandace:

Justin and Kandace have shared their passion for camping and travel ever since they rented a teardrop trailer and went on a camping trip shortly after they started dating.
That first trip was the catalyst for many more camping adventures to come. Shortly after that first trip, Kandace bought a 10 foot teardrop trailer so they could go on weekend camping trips up and down the coast of CA.
A couple years later they upgraded to a U-haul camper then to an Airstream. Earlier this year, they decided it was time to make a major life change. Kandace sold her house and her business, Justin left his lucrative sales career and they decided it was time to jump off the hamster wheel and live the nomad life for a while
