Meet Renee Tilby
In 2018 Shaun and Renee decided to trade the typical American dream for life on the road. Driven by the desire to spend as much quality, adventurous time with their five young children as possible, they downsized their lives to explore the USA in their Jayco Jay Flight travel trailer with dirt bikes, mountain bikes, and paddle boards in tow.
Always looking for the next adventure to photograph and explore, the Tilbys have visited 20+ states and almost 30 national parks, turning much of their adventures into hands-on learning for their roadschool curriculum. In between travels, the family likes to take old RVs and renovate them into beautiful tiny homes on wheels, creating opportunities for other families to have similarly wonderful adventures.
How would you best describe your travel/camping style?
We are go-with-the-flow, last-minute, take-the-opportunity-in-front-of-us travelers. Finding hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path places to explore is our jam!
-
What is something that always lifts your spirits?
Sitting around the campfire while the sun sets over our boondocking campsite!
-
What is your preferred type of camping (ie RV park, boondocking, state park, etc), and why?
While we thoroughly enjoy a variety of camping experiences, boondocking is what we love best. Being able to access remote areas and experience uninterrupted views in areas where we can also ride our ATVs and other wheeled apparatuses is the sweet spot for us.
-
What is your favorite piece of advice you’ve ever given or received on the road?
Always keep your black tank closed in between emptying. No one wants to deal with a poop pyramid! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to RV maintenance. Take a bit of time to learn how to take care of the little things so that they don’t turn into big, expensive fixes.
-
In a couple of sentences, what is your travel philosophy?
Our travel philosophy is to deeply experience any area that we are in; from the scenic attractions to the food, culture, and people, and to get a sense of the microcultures from one area to the next. We believe that travel is the best educator, and have a desire for our children to have a broad world-view, to see and experience as many perspectives as possible. Every place has something beautiful to offer, we just need to go out and find it.
