Hey there! We’re Dan and Lindsay McKenzie.
We’re just an ordinary couple living an extraordinary life…
We’re full-time adventurers, who are crazy about life and each other. Our goal is to share tips and resources that have helped us follow our detour in hopes that they help you follow yours!
Follow Your Detour is about creating your own path in life.
It’s about embracing change and taking risks in pursuit of a life you love.
Whether you’ve come to a dead end or are seeking an alternate route, following a detour is about the journey of self-discovery and growth … not the destination.
If where you’re at isn’t where you want to be then it’s time to follow your detour…

Taking Your Marriage on the Road: How Full-Time RVing Impacted Our Relationship
After getting married in 2010, we quit our jobs and booked one way tickets to Costa Rica with no set plans for where we’d live or what we’d do for work. This 4 month adventure set the tone for our marriage. Two years later, back in Denver, Colorado, we were sitting around a campfire in […]
The Budgeting Process That Helped us Eliminate $100,000 in Debt!
In our last post, “How We Afford to Travel Full-Time“, we mentioned that budgeting was the #1 way we afford to do any kind of traveling. Budgeting allowed us to identify ways we were wasting money and/or areas we could cut back on in order to free up money for travel. Turns out, we were able […]

Whether it’s living in Costa Rica, going on weekend getaways, or taking yearly international “bucket list” trips, we travel as often as we can. It became clear that many people assume we’re independently wealthy, or that we’re racking up credit card debt. But, […]
Couples Travel Bucket List
If you’re like us, traveling to new places is always at the top of our new years resolutions. Traveling not only offers experiences that help us grow individually, but it also strengthens our marriage and deepens our connection, too. We’re always looking to add new destinations to our couples travel bucket list. However, we don’t always […]
Choosing the Right RV: Why We Switched From a Fifth Wheel to a Class C
Choosing the right RV can be a challenge. There are SO many options! The first piece of advice we give people who are shopping for an RV is that there is NO perfect RV for you. You will have to make some sacrifices…of course unless you plan to spend a million dollars for custom options. […]
