About “Travel Adventures”
This web site chronicles the Travel Adventures of Lance and Erin Willett. We took to the road in a 21’ RV in July 2006, and now we are traveling across North America in a 34’ RV—living and working from the road. We would like to share our experiences with you: read about our adventures, see our photos, watch our videos, see places we’ve visited, and drop us a line from our contact page.
What’s with the name?
The name fautrever (pronounced “foe-ray-vay”) comes from the French phrase il faut rêver, meaning “you must always dream.” For us it summarizes what we live for: living out our dreams of travel and adventure.
Disclaimer: yes, it’s a made-up word and not good French. Lance majored in French in college and lived in Aix-en-Provence, France during his younger years. C’est le bluff, j’pige quedale à c’qu’il dit, moi…
You RV full-time, right?
We get asked: are you two retired, independently wealthy, or what? While those are each worth a good chuckle, neither is true (yet). Our dream is to explore and travel for a living. While selling our house and taking off in the RV is certainly a good start, we still work full-time from the road (see “Our day job” below).
How long are we going to travel in the RV?
Good question! Probably two years at the minimum, hopefully longer if we still like it after all the miles. So far, so good. Our goal is to visit Alaska, Canada, all the lower 48 states, and Mexico.
Our day job
Erin and Lance run simpledream web studio, a web design and development company. Simpledream turned three years old in January 2008… Erin handles photography, writing, copy editing, proof reading, and many other tasks while Lance does the web design and programming.
Originally based in Tucson, Arizona, the business goes on the road with us now. Our RV is equipped with a super-fancy Hughes satellite system so we can connect and work wherever we are. (Interested? See Maxwell Satellite; we aren’t affiliated, just happy customers.)
