Welcome to the crew guys! Good lookin’ rigs!Hey there fellow overlanders —
My name is Katie and I’m originally from the Jersey Shore (no, not like the tv show). I moved down to my second home, the Southern OBX, back in 2017 and met my local-born husband and the absolute LOML. One year ago, I bought a Ford Bronco. Two weeks later, my husband bought his. We quickly got heavy into off-roading thanks to the NC Bronco Club and the girl who had only camped in a tent once in her life started her overlanding journey. Sidebar: I did spend every summer in my grandparents 30+ ft Prowler growing up, but it was a permanent setup in a large beachside campground with all of the amenities… including Grandma’s famous meatballs.
As far as our overlanding journey goes — We started out with a wonderful Walmart-bought tent and almost got a divorce after pitching that thing in the dark so we upgraded to a Gazelle T4. In a week or so, our Tiny Camper Co. build will be ready… super excited!!
In addition to working full-time at our local hospital, I somehow find time to co-host The Feud All-Terrain Rally in Matewan, West Virginia and function as an event planner for East Coast NC Overland here in the SOBX. Both organizations are 501c3 non-profits and benefit the youth in their respective areas.
So that’s me in a nutshell.
