One magical Christmas when I was eight, I received an RV made for Barbie.
It was blue with a bright orange awning and smelled like plastic. To me, Barbie’s RV epitomized freedom and adventure. From that day on, I dreamed of exploring the United States with the wind in my hair, a dog by my side, and a pile of notebooks in the trunk.
In 2011, I met my dog, Butters. In 2014, we began our journeys in my Airstream Bambi.
In 2026, Butters left this world. This blog continues in honor of her memory.
Butters & Bambi is a story about road-tripping with a dog named Butters in an Airstream Bambi: the good, the bad, and the beautiful things we saw together. It is also a place to capture the new experiences still ahead.
By day, I’m an organizational psychologist and consultant helping companies create meaningful work experiences for employees. When I’m not working, I take photos, travel, and most importantly, write to ease life’s daily challenges. If I don’t put words down somewhere, I feel aimless and lost. I think many people feel this way.
You can read about the Airstream acquisition process, trip planning, and the ongoing revelations of owning a trailer under Airstream Bambi Info. You can read about our trips under Airstream Bambi Trips.
And because writing keeps me somewhat sane, you’ll also find a section titled Elixir. These don’t fit into any of the other categories but come from my heart.
A special thank you to friends & family who have supported my writing since the beginning. Without you, I would not have evolved as a writer and, more importantly, as a human being.
