O'Phalen Adventures

O'Phalen Adventures Full time traveling family of 5. Our family has always been what I’d describe as adventurous, but we kicked it up a notch in 2020.

We were professional theatre people in New York City for over 10 years, then both parents made career shifts after starting a family — Kate got her MPA and Dan became a recruiter. The pandemic was difficult, but gave us the precious gift of remote work. Because of the shift to remote work, our family has never been closer and we are able to pursue our dream of fulltime travel. When we left NYC in

2020, we planned to be away for just the summer on the coast of Maine in a charming and remote coastal village. That summer turned into a year and a half of airbnbs all over the country, which turned into buying and renovating our own RV, which turned into a life as nomads for the foreseeable future! We love exploring museums and cultural immersion as much as we love hiking up mountains and kayaking fjords. We love telling stories with the photos and videos that we take. We love slow travel and spending time at local libraries. And we love the online community that we’ve built for ourselves so that we never feel lonely. We truly love this life we’ve built, and we want to share everything we learn with you!

We’ve owned our RV for almost five years and dragged it all the way from almost Guatemala to almost the Arctic Circle 😱

We love to find the prettiest, most unique places to park our RV, so I thought I’d share a roundup of our top 10 favorite places we’ve stayed in the trailer.

Have you been to any of these with your RV? Which one is at the top of your RV bucket list!

We had the most fantastic time in Mexico, and we had the opportunity to visit some parts of the country that I’d never heard of before researching this trip.

I thought I’d share how we spent our 6 months there in case anyone else is planning. No regrets about any of these stops. The only thing we wish we’d had more of was time 🫶🏼

The longer stays were because we had fantastic places to park our RV there, and we used those places as home bases for further exploration using hotels and Airbnbs where we couldn’t take our trailer. That’s why you see some 3 day stays in places where we definitely could have stayed for a month!

Have we convinced you that you need your own 6 months in mainland Mexico yet? 😍
