Why We Started Wandering (and Why We’re Not Stopping Anytime Soon).

💡There’s a moment most people have…

Usually it hits somewhere between the daily routine, the long workdays, and the feeling that life is moving a little too fast.

For us, that moment turned into something bigger.

It turned into wandering.

🚙 How It All Started

We didn’t start with a perfectly built-out rig or a big plan.

We started with what we had:

• A 2011 Nissan Xterra
• A vintage Friendship Vacationaire (purchased for $500 that needed restoration)
• Two dogs (who definitely thought they’re in charge)
• And a simple need to get outside and breathe

At first, it was just weekend trips.

A quick escape. A reset.

But somewhere along the way… it became something we didn’t want to live without.

🌄 Why We Keep Going

We’re not full-time van lifers.

We’re not off-grid experts.

And we’re definitely not trying to make everything look perfect.

We’re just real people who realized:

👉 You don’t have to wait for “someday” to start living differently

👉 You don’t need the best gear to have meaningful experiences

👉 And sometimes the best memories come from the simplest trips

From kayaking at hidden lakes to pulling over for a random scenic view—this lifestyle has given us something we didn’t even know we were missing.

🎥 Why We Started the YouTube Channel

We created Wandering Saradi and Ronnie Roams to share what this life actually looks like.

Not the highlight reel.

Not the perfectly curated version.

The real version.

The early mornings.

The trial-and-error meals.

The “should we have brought that?” moments.

Because if we can do this… so can you.

🧭 What You’ll Find Here

This blog is just an extension of our journey.

Here, we’ll share:

• Trip breakdowns and locations
• Easy camp meals (the kind you’ll actually make)
• Gear we use—and what we’d skip next time
• Real tips from real experiences

And maybe a few stories that didn’t quite make it into the videos.
