We’re Adam, Kathryn, & Kona, an adventurous married couple (+ pup!) traveling full time around North America in our self-converted Sprinter van, with a mix of international destinations by plane as well! You can often find us hiking epic trails, enjoying local cuisine, and trying to immerse ourselves in new cultures and experiences.
We created Adventures of A+K to help travelers spend less time (and stress!) planning their trip and more time enjoying it! Our detailed travel guides, YouTube videos, and travel resources share the must-visit local eats, popular and off the beaten path sights, and tons of tips to make planning your next adventure a whole lot easier.

Adventures of A+K
California is home to 9 national parks, more than any other state! And among these parks you can experience just about every type of scenery you can imagine, from the coast, to epic mountains, desert terrain, giant trees, and geothermal activity.
Want to visit the parks for yourself? We're super excited to share that we just launched a massive California national parks eBook!
In this eBook you can find almost 200 pages that cover:
🚨 Important things to know before you visit the California national parks, including which parks require reservations, plus specific tips based on our experience.
❄️ Which California national parks to visit in each season.
🌲 Detailed guides for each California national park, with each including transportation information, when to visit, the best things to do across all areas of the park, places to eat, where to stay, and itinerary options.
🚗 Three different 10 day road trip options, with each including 3-4 national parks. As well as fun bonus stops to make along the way!
🧳 A packing list for your trip.
🗺️ Plus a custom Google Map that you can save to your phone!
All of which will save you HOURS of research! 🙌🏼 To get yours, head to adventuresofaplusk.com/shop/.
Not heading to California quite yet? We also have eBooks for the Alaska Highway, Utah National Parks, Atlantic Canada, and Vietnam. With more coming soon!

Snapshots from JAPAN! 🇯🇵
We just got home from an incredible trip to one of the top countries on our bucket list. And it was truly a dream! 😍 (We already have many ideas for future trips back!)
Throughout our 3 weeks in Japan we explored the lively streets, beautiful temples and shrines, and fun attractions in some of its major cities. As well as got a bit more off the main tourist path by renting the CUTEST mini camper van and exploring the Japanese Alps, the coast, waterfalls, and small villages.
Plus, we stayed in a traditional Japanese Inn with a private hot spring, ate LOTS of Japanese foods (including many konbini runs!), and one of us even got to try sumo wrestling! 👀
Since we filmed nonstop for 3 weeks and are currently recovering from jet lag, there’s NO new video today. But we can’t wait to kickoff our Japan series next Sunday! 🎉

🚨 No new video today!
We are currently wrapping up an amazing trip to SLOVENIA 🇸🇮 (Shoutout to the many of you who guessed correctly)! Over the last two weeks we have visited the coast, explored caves, swam in the famous Lake Bled, tried local foods, and hiked in the mountains. All while road tripping in a camper van! 🚐
We can't wait to share this beautiful country with you. 😍 Our first video of this 3 part series will release next Sunday, September 14!

🚨 No new video today!
As you hopefully saw, our last video was a LONG one (our longest ever!) and over the last few weeks we have been driving many, many miles to check out some new areas and filming two more big videos along the way!
So in order to have time to film, edit, handle the many daily life tasks and logistics, and enjoy our summer, we will be doing some larger gaps between our next couple videos. Our next two videos will release on June 22 and July 13. After that, we will resume our normal release schedule of every two weeks.
📸 In the meantime, here’s a little sneak peek of what is to come!

We have some exciting news! We just re-launched the shop on our website and have NEW merch items 🎉
See the shop here ➡️ adventuresofaplusk.com/shop/
Here’s a quick rundown of everything you can find in the shop!
☕️ Ceramic Campfire Mugs
It’s no secret that we love coffee! One of our first stops in any new town or city we visit is a local coffee shop. So it only felt fitting to release an Adventures of A+K ceramic, campfire style mug, featuring our van Brisket. It’s the perfect vessel for your coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or whatever warm drink you’re craving!
🐶 A+K Sticker Pack
Want to bring Adventures of A+K with you on your own adventures? This super adorable sticker pack comes with 5 different designs (all 2” each), including a sticker of Kona, Adam’s signature “pillowy” phrase, a taco, the van, and a stacked “A+K.”
👕 Adventures of A+K Shirts
If you missed it, we launched a pre-sale for our first ever A+K shirts back in March. And we were blown away by the response to them!
We ended up ordering some extras to have on hand and they are now for sale! There are very limited quantities left, with one size already sold out, so make sure to act fast if you’d like one!
📚 Travel eBooks
We also launched two eBooks: The Ultimate Guide to the Alaska Highway and a 10 Day Utah National Parks Road Trip Itinerary. Both of these guides are loaded with information about the areas, tips from our experience, packing lists, and so much more!
A big thank you to all of you for the support! Whether you are able to purchase something from our shop or not, we very much appreciate you following along. ❤️

No new video this week! We are about to embark on a 500 mile bike ride across Iowa (our 50th state! 🥳) for RAGBRAI with our friends @SchoandJo! 🚴🏻♀️ Wish us luck! And if you happen to also be at RAGBRAI, keep your eyes peeled for two non-cyclists struggling through the ride. We’d love to run into you (hopefully not literally 😜) and say hi!
And if you’re confused how we went from getting to Canada to being in Iowa, stay tuned for a future video where we explain everything. Our videos are currently a few weeks behind real time and we have a lot to share from Canada first! 😃

Heading to Alaska on the Alaska Highway in the future? We are so pumped to share that our guide to driving the Alaska Highway is live on our website!
This guide is LOADED with information about the Alaska Highway, including what to bring, things to know beforehand, our top stops, plus the services you can find along each section of the drive.
It's our longest guide ever, but we did include a table of contents feature to hopefully help you navigate it easily. We also created a custom Google Map that you can save to your phone, so you can access all of the stops on the road!
If you or someone you know is driving the Alaska Highway soon, we hope you find this helpful! adventuresofaplusk.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-drivi…

🚨 No new video this week! We’re all good over here (in case anyone starts to worry), but we have had a crazy few weeks of filming, driving, tech issues (RIP laptop screen 😭), and editing and we are struggling big time to keep up. And this next video is going to be a long one!
Our goal is to have it posted next Sunday (November 6), but in the meantime here is a sneak peek of what state it will be about…any guesses?! 🤔 (Hint: it’s likely not the state that first came to mind when you saw this photo!)

HOLY COW, we hit 100k subscribers on YouTube! 😱🎉 A HUGE thank you to everyone for following along…it is because of YOU that we get to do what we do and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support! We have a lot more to say about reaching this milestone and plan to film a video in the next week or so with some thoughts, plus a Q&A!
Have a question for us about travel, van life, or even just random questions about us? Please comment below! We will choose as many as we can to answer in a video soon!
PS: we have done a few Q&As in the past (you can view them all here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ... ) so we are going to try to answer new questions in this one!
