The Story
It all began with the idea of boating a 1973 Houseboat from Winona, Minnesota to New Orleans, Louisiana during the height of the pandemic. That adventure has morphed into the lifestyle and retreat I’m on Vacation.
While we know "I'm on Vacation" is cheeky, it can be translated to being present, living fully and allowing yourself to play.
