We are smick and ily. We are about to embark on a journey across the Nation (and beyond) in our VW Transporter Bus. We are so lucky to share this overwhelming feeling of wanting to be close to the Earth (and each other). smick is an artificer and will, with his hands produce beautiful objects to sell to the World. I am a Psychic, gypsy, wanderer by nature and I intend to put together a traveling puppet show presenting works of my own and others, conduct meaningful readings and attempt production of other fun roadside attractions. One of our greatest joys would be to include a host of friends (YOU GUYS) to join us, in part of course, on the road. We are hoping to find some Traveling Friends (YOU GUYS) that we can share our most intimate thoughts, spots and memories with. We are offering beautifully scripted notes and photographs at every life-changing interval, beautiful spot we stop at or even during some expected difficult periods when the dreamy idea of life on the road meets the reality of living out of a van.

Currently, we are not vagabonds in the least, we are a happy, successful and creative sort. However, we have been skimming away at our belongings, tuning up the Bus, preparing our friends and family for our departure and dreaming about what is about to be the time of our lives during our search for freedom and independence, in it’s own rights. Ah yes, we do in fact have an Independence DAY. The calendar equivalent of the glorious stars and stripes, slid sideways into bumper sticker format, and cracking in the sun’s persistence, some vague doff of the cap of support of an even more vague ideal. If only we knew what timeless notions of liberty, freedom, independence really did mean. I can’t claim to, up to date.

We sincerely hope that you will invite us to share with you our best moments. We will engage you with our letters and stunning photographs, amuse you with our tales and endear you with our genuineness until we settle down or you stay stop.

Happy travels,

smick & ily
