Welcome to Trip Over Life.
(travel blog + van life)
We are Sara and Michael. Just like everyone else, we’re stumbling our way through life and strive to live it to its fullest.
We started traveling together in 2010 with a brief trip to South East Asia.
In 2014 we left our fancy real-world jobs for a few months of international travel.
Upon returning to the United States we purchased a 1988 Dodge Xplorer camper van named Dan and set-out to see the beauty of the United States and Canada. And then decided to do it again in 2016. #vanlife.
Other recent travel highlights include:
- the Azores and Madeira (both autonomous regions of Portugal)
- an epic 2 week camper van trip in Iceland
- the beaches of Sardinia
- our 46th U.S. state: Hawaii
- an epic
4 month9 month van life adventure in New Zealand (2020 shat on most of the world whilst we basked in a predominantly tourist-free and COVID-free paradise #lucky #fortunate #grateful #ilovenz #kiwiforlife) - a solo thru-hike on the Cranberry Lake 50 in upstate New York
- three-weeks sleeping under the stars whilst sailing the Baja California coast in Mexico (a NOLS course)
- another three months on a Camper Dan road trip covering Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan (we love #vanlife!)
