Welcome to With Each Mile! Our blog is a living memoir of our adventures, travels & experiences that define our journey together. Before our paths converged, we inhabited different corners of the globe: Minerva from the vibrant landscapes of Oaxaca, Mexico, and Sam from southeast Wisconsin. We met in Alabama, where we’ve been building our life together ever since.

Even before we met, we both had an insatiable wanderlust, drawing us to explore the country. So, with little hesitation, we packed our car, strapped in our two furry co-pilots, Toby & Lily, and set out on the open road. Together, we’ve journeyed over 35,000 miles of open road, witnessed the beauty of 12 National Parks & traversed the varied landscapes of 34 U.S. States.

While our wanderlust knows no bounds, we recognize the reality of balancing our adventurous spirit with the responsibilities of everyday life – jobs, bills & other responsibilities that come with being an adult. This is why we created With Each Mile: to share our journey of carving out time amidst these demands to explore the world. We hope to inspire fellow adventures to find moments to get out & explore the world around us.

We thrive on adventure and the beauty of discovery. So, we carved out a little corner of the internet for fellow adventurers – those who are excited to travel, explore & adventure, but find it challenging to escape the day-to-day grind. If that sounds like you, then welcome to With Each Mile! We invite you to join us on our journey, share your own experiences & connect with us through comments, social media or email!


Heavily edited photos & videos often distort what travelers expect from their journeys. Our goal is to capture the true beauty of the landscapes we see & the memories we make—without relying on heavy edits or filters—so that we can inspire your own adventures.
