Hi

I am Kara.  My husband, Kevin, and I are exploring North America in our 37′ motorhome, Pippi.   

Our blog, Trying to Unwind, is a labor of love and not intended as a business venture.

I love researching and planning trips.  All recommendations are based on our personal experiences. 

We pay for our travel and do not accept paid sponsorships.  Let us help plan your trips with less research and without breaking the bank. 

Our frugal travel style is Cheap and Cheerful. 

We essentially live like locals eating most meals at home and choosing only the most unique, memorable paid activities. 

Most days we enjoy free or cheap activities like hiking, biking, and kayaking.
