Hi, We're Chris & Tammy!Welcome to Midwest Journeys! We share our love of camping, travel, and outdoor adventure with the hope of inspiring others to explore more and live a little more simply.
From discovering new trails and campgrounds to finding joy in everyday experiences, we believe life's best adventures don't have to be complicated.
We're glad you're here!
Our StoryMidwest Journeys began as a simple travel blog, built around an idea that still guides us today:
What started as a place to share our experiences gradually grew into something more. We expanded into YouTube, bringing our adventures to life through video and sharing more of the places we visit, the things we do, and the lessons we learn along the way.
Over the years, our adventures have taken many forms. We've explored new destinations in our RV, returned to tent camping, hiked scenic trails, ridden our eBikes, and discovered interesting places both close to home and across the country.
But while the way we share our experiences has changed, the reason behind Midwest Journeys hasn't.
We want what we share to be useful to someone else.
Maybe it's helping you discover a campground you've never visited, prepare for an adventure of your own, or learn from a challenge we encountered along the way.
Or perhaps it's simply encouraging you to make more room in your life for the people, places, and experiences that matter most.
Adventure. Simply.Over time, we've come to appreciate the freedom that comes from living with less and being more intentional about what matters.
For us, simple living isn't about giving up the things we enjoy. It's about making room for more of them.
Our RV lifestyle is one way we've chosen to do that. Having home bases in Missouri and Arizona gives us opportunities to explore, spend time outdoors, and enjoy different experiences throughout the year.
But you don't need an RV, expensive equipment, or a cross-country road trip to find adventure.
Sometimes it's exploring a trail just down the road, spending a weekend at a nearby campground, or simply disconnecting from the everyday routine to spend quality time together.
We believe experiences and relationships bring more lasting satisfaction than accumulating possessions.
And if sharing our journey encourages someone else to discover a new place, try something different, or simplify their life enough to make more time for what matters, then Midwest Journeys is doing exactly what we hoped it would.
