Our Wandering Pack

Life for Our Wandering Pack may look simple at the moment, but it’s filled with intention, preparation, and a whole lot of love for our two dogs. Here’s a peek into what a typical day looks like for us as we work, save for our future travels, and make the most of the here and now.

Morning: Starting with Care

Our mornings start at 7 a.m. with cuddles for the dogs — a non-negotiable part of the day! By 7:30, we’re straightening up the house to prepare for the day ahead. This includes letting the dogs outside to enjoy free reign of the side yard while we tackle morning chores like starting laundry, doing dishes, and watering our plants.

By 7:45, it’s time to get ourselves ready for the day. At 8:15, the dogs get their breakfast, and we prepare ours: typically egg bites and a Crystal Light caffeine packet. We’ve cut way back on our Dunkin’ runs to save money for our upcoming travels! By 8:20, we’re eating breakfast together, savoring a quiet moment before the day picks up again. At 8:30, it’s time to play with the dogs — an essential for keeping them happy and active.

By 9 a.m., the dogs head to their designated “dog room” with a sniff toy to keep them occupied while we work.

Midday: Work and Walks

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., we dive into our workday. Both Maddy and I are working regular jobs right now as part of our effort to build up savings for our adventures ahead. The dogs rest and play in their room during this time, giving us the quiet we need to focus.

By 3:10 p.m., the workday winds down, and we let the dogs out of their room. After a bathroom break for them, it’s time for an off-leash walk. We’re lucky to have a space on-site where the dogs can roam and explore freely while we get some fresh air too. These walks are a favorite part of the day for all of us and help reset our energy.

Evening: Movement and Togetherness

By 4 p.m., we’re off to the gym. Staying active is important to both of us, and the dogs come along too, keeping busy with sniff toys in the gym while we work out. By 5:30 p.m., we’re back home to finish up any housework, like cleaning up dog toys, emptying trash, or switching over laundry. We make sure to turn on some background noise to create a cozy vibe while prepping for dinner.

At 6 p.m., it’s time for dinner together. This is intentional time where we pause, sit down, and connect without distractions. It’s our moment to reflect on the day, share thoughts, and enjoy being together as a pack.

Night: Travel Mode and Wind Down

After dinner, we shift into “travel mode” to work on all things related to Our Wandering Pack. This is the time when we create content, grab videos, try out new products, and hop on calls to keep pushing our dream forward. It’s an exciting and creative part of the day where we get to share our passion and connect with our growing community.

At 10 p.m., we power down our laptops and shift gears into relaxation. By 10:15, it’s time for showers and playing with the dogs to wind everyone down. By 11 p.m., we’re ready for bed, recharging for another day of routine, preparation, and purpose.

Why We Love This Life

While our current days are centered on routine and preparation, they’re filled with purpose. Every little step, from early morning cuddles to evening intentional time, is part of the journey toward our dream of full-time travel and adventure. For now, we’re cherishing the moments we have together and staying focused on building the life we envision.

What does your day look like? We’d love to hear how you balance routine, connection, and preparation for the things you’re working toward. Let us know in the comments or on social media — we’re always inspired by the stories of others!

Adventures, Friendship, and the Road Ahead!
