We are Philip and Tessa Miller, and we’re endlessly curious and fascinated by this big, charming country. Hitchhike along with us and our two pups, Finn and Sprinkles!
Our Adventures Meet The Millers
Welcome to the Charming Adventures of the Millers!
Being endlessly curious, we find charming delights everywhere we go in our U.S. travels. Our "sticks-n-bricks" home is in Scottsdale, Arizona, but we are usually on the road for some combination of six out of every twelve months. We love the ease of travel, comforts of home, and the amazing people, places and things we see along the way while traveling in our Fleetwood Southwind 34C RV, "Elsie." We are always planning future itineraries, and hope our past travels give travel inspiration for your own adventures!

You know how every state has that special place that people go when they want to kick back and have fun in the sun? In Alabama, that place is Gulf Shores, on the Gulf of Mexico, smack-dab in the...
We’re always wanted to experience a traditional Mardi Gras, but not THAT Mardi Gras … you know … the one with too much everything, in New Orleans. Too many boobs, too much booze...
If you know anything about the Millers, it’s that we are obsessed with hot springs! A hot spring is “the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater up to the surface,” but the real...
We’ve rounded up our faves from three months of summer travels, just for you and your travel bucket list! Click any highlighted title for the full original blog post, and additional photos, for...
If you cringe at the thought of visiting a museum, finding them to be a bore or a drag, perhaps you’ve been going to the wrong museums! This country is chock-full of the most exciting, most...
#1 most asked question about our RV travels: “What’s the coolest hike you’ve done?” (Runner-Up: “Who dumps the sewer?”) That’s a complicated question...
“COVID” and “GOOD” don’t usually appear in the same sentence, but after 27 stops over 3 months throughout the Carolinas, Georgia and Texas during the early stages of the...
Our big, lazy, five-month, 8,479-mile loop around the Northeast and Canada gave lots of special memories. Invariably, when we return, people ask “What was the best thing you did...
