Green Modern Nature Travel Adventure Intro Video.jpg

We’re a couple who believe you don’t have to choose between tending your land and exploring the world....

The Roamsteaders was born from our desire to live simply, sustainably, and adventurously — raising food, caring for animals, and still finding ways to pack up and see new places.

✔︎ Balancing a homestead and travel takes planning, creativity, and a little faith. We’ve learned how to budget wisely, prepare the farm for our time away, and make every journey both affordable and meaningful.

✔︎ Here, we share what’s worked for us — from low-cost travel tips and trusted farm-sitting strategies to smart ways to save money at home that fund your next adventure.

✔︎ Whether you’re dreaming of your first backyard garden or your next trip across the ocean, we’ll help you find that sweet spot between being rooted and roaming.

The man is wearing a black jacket and blue shorts, and the woman is wearing a burgundy jacket, shorts, and hiking boots, with a backpack. Two trekking poles are lying on the ground nearby. The photo has a handwritten-style caption that reads 'Shawn + Katie.'

WE ARE HOMESTEADERS

Farm life with room to roam

✗ Building a life rooted in the land. From tending our bees and caring for horses, pigs, cows, and chickens to growing food in the garden and spending our free time exploring our own bike trails, our days are shaped by hard work, fresh air, and intention. It’s a hands-on life—messy, meaningful, and deeply connected to the place we call home.

WE ARE ADVENTURE GUIDES

Two wheels & two feet

✗ We believe the best experiences happen outside and off the beaten path. With hands-on experience in hiking, climbing, canyoning, horseback riding, snow sports, and cycling, we don’t just explore—we plan, prepare, and guide each journey with intention. From route planning and logistics to finding the moments that make a trip unforgettable, we help turn wild places into meaningful experiences.

WE DO WEDDINGS

For the wild at heart

✗ We create guided adventure elopements for couples who want more than a traditional wedding day. As a licensed officiant and photographer team, we handle every part of the experience—from planning the location and logistics to standing with you as you exchange vows and documenting it all. The result is a deeply personal, stress-free wedding day rooted in adventure, intention, and storytelling.
