We’re Storm & Dalton — aka The Nomadic Sweethearts! We live nomadically, travelling full-time in our 22’ trailer with our two dogs, Minnie and Drogo! We were living "normal" corporate lives when the pandemic hit, and like many others, our jobs became remote. We were stuck in a frozen suburban neighbourhood in Ontario, Canada, for months and just about went mad. We decided to make a drastic change. We bought a large SUV, sold all our belongings, packed up the dogs and some clothes and headed west. Travelling for ~2 years while staying in short-term rentals, working remotely and travelling through western Canada, Florida and even Saint Lucia! Eventually, we couldn't stand living in "other people's" homes any longer and upgraded to a truck + travel trailer and have now been nomads with a "home" we bring with us! We just wrapped up the most ambitious road trip of our lives, from Key West, Florida, to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, at the Arctic Ocean! This series follows our wild journey north with weekly travel vlogs, campground experiences, behind-the-scenes RV life, and more! Now we are planning to travel through Vancouver Island for the winter and then continue exploring more of Canada! We are incredibly grateful for all of you here to support our journey.
