Since building launching SeeBeeZee in 2015, we have spent most of our lives traveling slowly from place to place.

These are the stories of those trips, annotated stories with photos and videos about how we live off grid, and the exploration of places we find.

Use the menu bar at the top to explore the site fully, or just scroll through the chronological list of stories from places below.
