Nomads with a Purpose

Nomads with a Purpose We are an adventure travel family (with 5 kids) that explores the world and inspires you to dream big, live boldly, question everything, and .

We are a vagabonding family. But we are not your typical family. For starters, we have five kids making travel a little more hectic. Three years ago, we sold all our stuff and moved into our thirty-foot motorhome to travel. Well, not all our stuff … we kept our surfboards, climbing gear, and any other camping/hiking gear that would fit. We love adventure and the outdoors and that’s what all our tr

avels center around. Our 2017 travel year consisted of a surf trip to the epic left of Pavones; hiking, camping, and surfing up the coast of California; going on a 3 month road trip through the PNW, Canadian Rockies, Sawtooth Mountains, Tetons, Yellowstone, and Utah; and flying over to Europe and spending 6 weeks rock climbing, hiking, and surfing in Northern Spain and Southern France. In 2016, the year before, we did six-month road trip through Europe (in an even smaller RV), but we liked it because it’s was an upgrade from the tent we were living out of the first five weeks we got there. This was the greatest turning point in our nomadic life where we truly had no plans and went in search of adventure. Before Europe, we tested the waters of nomadic life and traveled down to Costa Rica for a month, soaking up the tropics and traveling across the country in search of some great waves. We then flew across the Atlantic and spent six months wandering through Western Europe in search of nature. We started by tent camping in Norway, Ireland, and Germany before picking up a camper in Holland and exploring the UK to Croatia and everything in between. We climbed the Dolomites, hiked the Alps, surfed the North Sea, and much much more. We finished off 2016 in Oahu to warm up from Europe's cold, catch some waves, and watch Pipe Masters. How did this all start for us? Well, in April of 2015 we sold off all of our stuff with the exception of our surfboards, climbing gear, hiking shoes, and outdoors supplies and moved into a tiny, cozy little motorhome. That spring and summer we traveled beyond the depths of our backyard that is San Diego, California, on toward the Pacific Northwest. Oregon and Washington became some of our favorite places in the world for their amazing sport climbing, stunning hikes, and frigid waters. We drove up to Vancouver, Canada and ferried across the the channel to Vancouver island and surfed the swell-rich coast that lies next to the beautiful temperate rainforest of the island. We racked up 200 miles of hiking on this trip, only two months, and tested out our newly learned rock climbing skills and this ignited a desire for adventure. Our journey has been a lot of things but "boring" is surely not one of them. We thrive in the wild, we strive to get off the beaten path, our purpose is to adventure as a family.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just sell everything, travel the world, and make reels on Instagram to pay for it all?

Ya, it would’ve been. But that just wasn’t going to happen for me.

I was reading an email from a content creator that I truly respect and she gave a list of 7 things you need to do to grow your Instagram.

Now, a few of them I could probably manage, but if I actually tried to implement all 7, it would take me at least 3 hours a day.

I don’t have 3 hours a day to spend on that— at least not consistently.

The reason I love travel is because the type of travel I do is all about chasing the unknown and getting a dose of uncertainty as often as possible. Even if that doesn’t take all day, it leaves little brainpower left afterwards for creative/intelligent thought.

It’s done a great job of:
✅ Teaching me a lot about myself, life, and human nature
✅ Raising my kids to be gritty, confident, and grateful
✅ Making me really happy that I get to have so much fun

❌ It has not helped me be a content creator

And that’s okay.

I accept that I’m probably not wired for it and that being a content creator conflicts with my higher desires.

But still, I do love creating content. I love sharing what I’m thinking about, where I’ve gone, what I’ve learned.

In the end, this post was just a journal entry to myself reminding me of why I’m here and what it serves.

If I open instagram and tell myself I’m trying to be famous or fund travel, but am not honest with myself about what that takes or disciplined with the tasks required, I might end up in a negative self talk spiral that would make me love myself less.

I know because I used to do that.

And I coach people on how they do this same pattern but in their relationships.

It’s really important to get clear about your expectations from something or someone if you want to be happy.

And while I don’t expect to be a digital nomad funding travel through this account. I do expect from myself to show up consistently on and teach how to have a connected family because I do believe relationship coaching is my purpose— I just happened to use fulltime adve

Eleven Years of Unknown Roads: What Struggle Taught Me That Safety Never Could

April 30th- April 1st came and went so fast, much like the eleven years that came before it. For ten of those years, I've held a quiet habit: I write a dedication piece on this day. Not out of nostalgia, but because this date marks something more profound than a memory. It was a transformational turning point that forever altered the person I've become....

If raising a healthy, connected family is important to you and you haven’t listened to our podcast with Paul Chek on Spirit Gym, you should check it out. We covered so much on the importance of what you feed your kids, the importance of movement and challenge, but more importantly, reclaiming agency.

In 2015, I (Robyn) didn’t ask to move into an RV to live a smaller, simpler life. It wasn’t that we were poor and wanted to be lazy or work less.

I did it because the rat race didn’t align with my soul.

I wanted to intentionally create a life where I felt ALIVE 🙌

And my message that I’m trying to share with the world through podcasts, webinars, speaking on stages, and in my upcoming book is this 👇

You don’t need another parenting book telling you to limit screen time, eat dinner as a family more often, or get better at communicating.

Yes, those are valuable but…

If YOU yourself (the parent) become a person who IS alive, passionate, courageous, and fun…

Your kids are naturally going to want to choose to share making dinner with you, playing with you over staring at a screen, and want to open up to you because you’re their best friend.

We don’t need to be “better parents”

We need to be more aligned with our soul and connected to spirit.

Ask yourself, “if I just wanted to feel FULLY ALIVE today, what would I do?”

Then ask spirit for guidance and trust that the universe truly has your back.

Save this for days when you feel lost, overwhelmed, or frustrated with your kids. They are good reminders of simple ways to create connection 💜

What if motherhood wasn’t about carpools, calendars, and keeping everyone else happy?

What if a good life was less about the size of your house, the team your child is on, or the car you drive…

And more about having the time to connect with your soul, your spouse, your kids?

Having time to roam, to explore and chase passion?

What if you don’t need to be rich to live a life of freedom?

What is true wealth is creating a life you love?

For the last 11 years, our family has lived, worked, and traveled full-time together, building a life rooted in connection, courage, and intrinsic self-worth.

In 2009, my life looked perfect on paper.
Dream home. Successful business. Homeschooling my kids.
I was doing everything right.
Then my husband’s health collapsed — and with it, my identity.

I realized my entire sense of worth was built on being the “good” wife, the “good” mom, the high-achiever who never disappointed anyone… including myself.

For the first time, I felt lost.

So I did something radical — I listened.
Yoga turned into surfing.
Surfing turned into climbing.
And slowly, I stopped living for approval and started living from alignment.

That choice changed everything.

Five months in an RV turned into eleven years of adventure, entrepreneurship, and raising five confident kids — not through perfection, but through self-trust.

Now, our family helps other families who look successful on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside — stop living by expectations and start building a life that actually feels like theirs.

Because the greatest wealth isn’t money.
It’s self-trust, connection, and the courage to choose your own path.

This. This is why a life built on family, freedom, and fun mattered so much to me.

I hope this inspires you to take a road trip this summer and allow yourself the time, space, and flexibility to get lost.
