Essence: Black Travel Vibes: Our First RV Trip!

Many of us are seeking creative, safe ways to move around again after quarantining. Summers are made for creating memories and spending quality time together—so we couldn’t spend the entire summer confined to our home.  My husband, Rashad (@pulledtogether), our two kids, Zora and Ellis, and I just had to leave the stress of everyday life behind and get outdoors to create space to connect with one another without distractions.

Freedom of Expression

We love the outdoors because it presents a sense of true freedom. It allows us to detox from the digital world and escape the monotony of work and stress. The fresh air and lush landscapes help to sharpen our focus and calm our minds. We can recharge our batteries to return to our routines better than we left. 

For this trip we wanted to move around, but in a safe, responsible way, so we chose an RV. It gave us a great deal of flexibility, space and the mobility to explore at our own pace. Traveling with two young children requires a lot of patience and potty breaks, and with the RV we didn’t have to worry about that at all. Rashad loved that the kitchen had plenty of storage, as well as space to prep and cook meals for the family. And I absolutely loved the RV’s balance of camping and glamping.  We could explore outside, then return to the RV’s modern comforts. Plus, the kids were infatuated with the bunk bed!
