This journey, being embarked on by Nathan & Katie of Eight Hour Day, is one of the raddest things I have heard of in a while. In their own words and illustrations;

...We had been feeling the need for “something” for awhile. We were ready to move on from a condo we owned in South Minneapolis, but we weren’t ready to buy a house or start a family quite yet. So instead, we hatched a harebrained scheme to travel across the United States for an entire year. We sold our home, rented out our studio and, this October, we’ll set off in search of design and inspiration. Here’s the route:


...The plan is to continue to work at full capacity, but remotely with existing clients—and maybe meet some new ones along the way. To help document all of this, we’ve redesigned our website and created this new blog. We’re hoping to have daily updates from the road on the themes of design and travel, plus whatever else comes our way....


Totally cool, right? follow their adventure on their blog, and check out their fantastic illustration/design work here.
