Fishing Whenever We Can
Luis will find water in any state โ lake, river, or coastline. If there's a rod in the van (there's always a rod in the van), there's a good chance we're parked near water.
๐ต๐ท Boricuas on the Road
A Puerto Rican couple, a self-built van, and one very opinionated parrot โ chasing all 50 states one tank of gas at a time.
๐ On the road right now ยท Next big goal: Alaska 2027
How It Started
We're Shey & Luis โ two Boricuas who traded a fixed address for the open road. We didn't know how to build a table, let alone a van, so we graduated from the University of YouTube, tools in hand, and turned a bare cargo van into a home.
Now we're working our way through all 50 states, carrying a little bit of the island with us wherever we park โ the music, the food, the familia energy, and a healthy dose of "se hace lo que se pueda."
The Third Wheel
Lucas doesn't have a driver's license, but he definitely has opinions about the route. Our African grey parrot has logged more miles than most people's road trips โ riding shotgun, narrating rest stops, and keeping us laughing (and occasionally very confused about what noise we just heard).
What Fills Our Days
Fishing lines, full plates, honest days, and a whole country left to see.
Luis will find water in any state โ lake, river, or coastline. If there's a rod in the van (there's always a rod in the van), there's a good chance we're parked near water.
From tiny-kitchen arroz con gandules to the best hole-in-the-wall diner in whatever town we land in, good food is how we get to know a place โ and each other.
Shey manages real health challenges on the road, and chooses to be the bright spot anyway. If you're looking for a reminder that you can keep moving forward, this is it.
State by state, we're building a map full of stories โ the goal is to touch all 50, with Alaska on the horizon for 2027.
Snapshots From the Road
Real photos from the road will live here โ for now, a preview of the layout.






"We didn't know how to build a van. We just knew we wanted a different kind of life โ so we started, and figured out the rest on the road."โ Shey & Luis, Los Boris on the Road
Tried & Tested
The stuff that earns its spot in a small van has to work hard. These are a few of our go-to picks.
No black tank, no drama โ our compost toilet is one of the best upgrades we made to the build.
See what we use โClean drinking water from any hookup, anywhere we park. Non-negotiable for full-time van life.
See what we use โFishing, hiking, hanging out at the coast โ we're outside constantly, so reef-safe SPF is an everyday essential.
See what we use โAffiliate links coming soon โ swap these placeholders for your real product links.
