These are the voyages of the skoolie Addie. Its mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where they haven’t gone before!

Travel experts are saying a proposed rule change that would require social media account information from some foreign travelers to the US could further deter visitors from coming — a decline that could translate into billions of dollars in lost revenue for the travel sector. https://cnn.it/4a1aUPb

Before NASA became a household name, Black women mathematicians were calculating rocket trajectories that made space travel possible.

I came to Florida to see family and enjoy the warmth. Why did the temps gotta plummet when I have work to do outside!

Freezes and heating centers in south central Florida is just crazy to me.

Speaking of February, I’m leaving my Horde in a few short weeks and it makes me sad. I always love my time with them and it’s a nice grounding amongst all the traveling with @addiethebus.bsky.social the rest of the year.

Currently working on a new 101 in 1001/Day Zero Project (not *that* day zero) which I’ll be sharing over on my blog this weekend.

What are some goals or ambitions you’ve set for yourself?

Share your cool, spooky, sexy, and/or weird spots across N. America so I can add them to my travel adventures for the coming year or so.

Can we just admire the happiest puppy? This was him right after playing in a pond in PA.

For years, leaders at the state and national level have stood in rare bipartisan lockstep on two key issues: opposing offshore oil drilling in Florida and restoring the Everglades. But drilling threats have re-emerged. Read more from NPCA's Cara Capp: www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-e...

One of the problems with deciding to rearrange things in a skoolie is there is limited staging space available for things during the in between. Tiny life problems yooooo

I’ve landed at Station Minas Tirith and will be docked for about two months for repairs and upgrades. My first night back and I was treated to warm hugs, whisky, and cards.

Yup. I said that.

I forgot to update my GPS from the generic town name to the actual location of my Harvest Host, which led for a very hilarious. “Wait which church am I staying at moment?”

Louisiana highway patrol vehicles are sneaky as fuck. They just look like regular old white SUVs except for a very tiny logo on the side.

It’s been a year since we hit the road. It feels like it’s gone by in the blink of an eye but I’ve had so many amazing adventures along the way. This is just a tiny peek at what and where I’ve been. It’s always an adventure and I can’t wait for what comes next.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

I finally got myself a two legged road companion! He’s chill, great to snuggle, and never talks back.

When it came to moving into Addie I chose adventure over “insta” worthy, functional now over finished details. That’s not the right pick for everyone but I’ve meet a lot more nomads in similar builds and I don’t think it gets enough screen time. So here’s a messy mid project pic for you.

Preston is a is of bike rides!! It’s like putting his head out the window but better. He was such a good boy on his first ride and we even brought groceries home.

To the Q:

Scars are permanent, but the roads won’t be.

These’d mostly be temporary logging roads or perhaps, in some cases, permitted access roads for wealthy people, like that rich jerk, helicopter harasser dude (Boren) who want a road to their house across a formerly roadless area.
My dumb logistical question about this: how are they going to maintain these roads when 25% of USFS is gone and the RIFs have not even started.
