Your vacation is awesome. And you probably want to capture that awesomeness, and make a lifelong souvenir out of that awesomeness, that you’ll watch and cherish and show your kids for years. But if you’ve ever tried to film your vacation, you might’ve realized by now that you’ve never actually watched any of those videos. […]

Stop thinking about it. Stop questioning it. Now, more than ever, it’s time to abandon any hesitations you have and share your story, your voice, your unique perspective on life, with the world.

We’ve spent the last 2 years traveling through every situation – wild camping, dirty hostels, extreme heat, extreme cold. Our recommended gear list is hard-earned through personal experience and the experiences of other veteran travelers we’ve met on the road. We’ve learned the expensive stuff is not always the best stuff – in fact, many of […]

It appears that we’re living in a time that’s increasingly controlled by people who tell us we need to shut ourselves off. We need to close our borders, lock our doors, buy guns, build walls, trust nobody. It appears that we’re living in a time that’s increasingly driven by a media that happily feeds our […]

Her name is #Velita, the beautiful Spanish word for “candle” because we bought her on the Colombian holiday Dia de las Velitas and because she is our light […]

Well, this is everything. This is everything we have in our lives now. Our car is toast, we’re giving it to a friend in Panama. We’re ditching 70% of our stuff. From now on we’re carrying everything we own on our backs as we take on South America. Ever heard a film crew do that? […]

Goulet Community, among the shitstorm of other things going on right now (we’ll tell you about that later), our favorite camping company – TICLA – is shutting their doors. They gave us a tent for our trip and it’s one of the only products we truly love. Sleeping in our tent is one of the […]

One of the absolute greatest Goulet supporters is Eddie “Mr.” Mathis. A coworker of Eric’s back during his teaching days in Brooklyn, Eddie hosted us in Austin way back during the early days of our journey, before we’d even crossed into Mexico (and also when we didn’t speak a lick of Spanish)… 6 months later, […]

It’s hot. Cool down with this. We need to sell this car, which means for the first time in 10,000 miles we’ve gotta clean this car… Goulet style. Thanks to SOLID Surf & Adventure for letting us get weird in your parking lot.
