AIMLESS TRAVELS
Our names are Shelby and David! Back in 2018, we bought a 2002 Thomas Built bus from NC and named her Charlotte. We converted the retired US Air Force bus into a fully converted off-grid adventure home.
We aren’t your typical travel bloggers. Our goal is to take the roads less traveled while sharing content that captures the beauty and spirit of North America. Simultaneously, we share our commitment to using renewable resources and encouraging others to do the same.
