Who We Are

For those who do not know us personally, we are the Hoovers. My beautiful wife Nicole, our sausage doggo Bailey, and I would like to invite you to tag along on our adventures! Oh, and my name is Ryan.

Nicole and I are high school sweethearts. We’ve been together for 30 years now. We are the parents of two beautiful boys. We absolutely love being outside, and are very fond of many different outdoor activities and hobbies. After 17 years in the same home while raising our boys, we decided to sell the house and start a nomadic life on the road for a while. Our boys are both out of school (and both are recently married!!) and starting out on their own journey in life, so we figured it was a perfect time to head out on this adventure.

I have joked with Nicole for pretty much the entirety of our relationship that I would be happy as a clam to walk into the woods with her and not much else, and create a home and a life in the woods away from the hustle and bustle of the world. The reality of that level of adventure is a little too extreme though given our age at this point. So our half-measure is to sell our house, downsize the things we had accumulated, and to live an active life with less stuff and more experience. We do not know how long this adventure will last, or where it will take us, but we are so excited for the journey and the experiences.
