We are Too Happy Campers—and no, the name isn’t just a cute pun. It’s a whole mood.
After months of waiting (and second-guessing, decluttering, and dreaming), the day has finally come: we’ve sold our house, packed our lives into a travel trailer, and we’re about to officially hit the road.
Why “Too Happy”?
Because somewhere along the way, we noticed something strange: people often use the word too like it’s a bad thing.
Too ambitious.
Too adventurous.
Too emotional.
Too loud.
Too old.
Too… happy.
Well, we’re flipping the script.
Because being too much for some people just means you’re finally being enough for yourself.
How It Started
Eighteen months ago, we made the life-altering decision to sell our “forever home”—a breathtaking, 20-acre mountain property in Colorado—and trade it in for a life of mobility, minimalism, and momentum.
We called it our dream home, and for a while, it really was. We hosted guests from all over the world through Airbnb, built and managed a disc golf course on our land, and poured our hearts into creating a peaceful, off-grid mountain oasis.
But over time, what once felt like freedom began to feel like a beautiful cage.
As much as we loved our guests and our space, the commitment to hosting left us tethered. Summers became a blur of check-ins and chores, and little by little, the hiking boots collected dust while our dreams of travel got pushed to “someday.”
Suddenly, we started to feel stuck. And that feeling? It was our cue to evolve.
Letting Go to Make Room
Downsizing wasn’t just about square footage—it was a spiritual cleanse. After clearing out Gary’s father’s lifetime of clutter, we knew we didn’t want our lives to become a museum of “stuff” that no one else would understand.
We began shedding the weight—physically and emotionally.
Souvenirs, furniture, clothes, forgotten hobbies… everything had to answer one question: Do we really want to carry this with us for the next 30 years?
Spoiler: most things didn’t make the cut. And it felt incredible.
So What Now?
Now, we’re rolling into our next phase with wide eyes and open hearts in our Rockwood Ultra Lite 2906BS, powered by a beastly Chevy Silverado 2500HD and fueled by equal parts coffee, wanderlust, and pure gumption.
We’ve got:
🗺️ 12,000+ miles of travel planned
🥏 A wishlist of 400+ disc golf courses (Gary’s baby)
🎶 A year of concerts, festivals, and good vibes on the calendar
🍴 An appetite for local eats and offbeat foodie gems
🌄 A thirst for iconic landscapes and hidden gems
🌿 And a few elevated, wellness-inspired stops for the more discerning traveler
Along the way, we’ll share stories about the places we visit, the people we meet, and the inevitable surprises that come with living life on four wheels. Some will be heartfelt, some hilarious, and some will involve minor disasters and questionable decision-making.
All of it will be real.
Why Follow Too Happy Campers?

If you’ve ever felt too stuck, too tired, too old, too over it—this space is for you.
If you’ve ever wanted to run toward joy, curiosity, or change—even if it means being a little too much—then you just might be a Too Happy Camper at heart.
