Life is too short
to live it later.
We’re Chris & Amanda — a family of four living full-time on the road with Type 1 Diabetes. We document the real, the hard, and the incredible. Welcome to Type1Detour.
July 13, 2021
We decided to stop living for later and start living for now.
We’re Chris and Amanda — and we are a full-time RV family of four. Both Chris and our oldest daughter live with Type 1 Diabetes. Life handed us a detour, and we decided to embrace it.
In July 2021 we packed up our house, moved into our RV, and haven’t looked back. We document our journey to encourage others to get out and live the life they love — despite any of life’s obstacles.
