Newstate Nomads

Just call me Beekeeper Katelyn 🐝🍯 During our visit to @destinationgettysburg, we got to learn all about the art of beekeeping from @dawggonebees 🐝 They have two locations, one in downtown Gettysburg and one in Hanover, where they sell their honey, fruit spreads and mead! We had a chance to visit the apiary and learn all about the process of what it takes to maintain the colonies and harvest the honey. Hal learned all of this from his late Grandpa and today, it's a family affair! His wife and daughter run the business and he is the official beekeeper. Watch our latest episode for the full story and a good chuckle when I try to taste the honey 🤣 Also, please notice in the last picture how I had my hands completely folded up into my bee suit 🤣 I was terrified but Hal kept reminding me that it's rare that they sting and they can only do it once! Thanks for having us out to the apiary and introducing us to the amazing world of beekeeping! And if you're in town, stop by and grab some delicious local honey and mead 🤤 #gettysburg #pennsylvania #beekeeping #thingstodoinpennsylvania #gettysburgpa #storiesfromtheroad #exploremore #localhoney #pennsylvaniaroadtrip

Summer nights with my girl 💚🌻☀️ #dogmom #rvdog #rescuedog #rvpup #virginiawinery #dogfriendly #dogfriendlywinery #virginia #rvlife

All the details of HOW we stay at places like this 😍⤵️ We’ve been @harvesthosts members for SIX years and it has been so fun to explore great local businesses all across North America. We’ve stayed at breweries, wineries, farms (who remembers the alpacas from a few weeks ago?) and museums across the US & Canada and it has made for some great memories.  Our recent stay at The Winery at Sunshine Ridge blew us away. 😯🫶 Waterfront, live music, beer AND wine, dog-friendly… it checked all the boxes. We had a great night’s sleep before continuing on our travels. 💤🚐💨 Harvest Hosts has multiple plan options to choose from. You can also upgrade from the Classic Plan offering winery, brewery, farm, and attraction host locations to add access to golf course hosts, community hosts, or access all 9000+ host locations!  Use the link in our bio to save 15% off your membership!

We want to know! 😉 ⬇️ #ad #harvesthosts #harvesthoststays #virginiawine #virginiawinery #rvlife #rvliving #roadtrip #boondocking

Mentally still here 🇨🇭🏔️❤️🥹 If you would have told me even a year ago that I would be taking a trip with 20 strangers, I don't know if I would have believed you. I'm an introvert with social anxiety 🤣 so this seemed very counterintuitive... Then we got serious about launching our own Group Trips last Winter. And I knew that I wanted to experience what it was like as a traveler ahead of leading our community on amazing adventures across the globe! So I stepped out of my comfort zone, put on my big girl pants and flew to Europe alone, not sure what was in store. Turns out, sometimes what we're most afraid of doing can end up being some of the best experiences of our lives! Of course, Switzerland was incredible. The mountains, the lakes, the charming towns, the food... But what really made this one of those core memories that imprints itself so deeply on you are these people. ❤️ It was a week filled with so much laughter and memories that I'll cherish forever. If you've been around our little corner of the internet for a while, you know we're big believers of trying new things and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. That is so much of what travel is all about. And how special to experience it with a group of people who will now forever be bonded by a magical week in Switzerland. 🥰 What a trip... ⛰️😉 #switzerland #grouptrips #grouptravel #trovatrip #girlstrip #travelwithstrangers #lucerne #zurich #interlaken #europe #exploremore #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #grouptrip

Kentucky is full of caves but did you know that Bowling Green is home to the state's only underground boat tour through a cave!? @lostrivercave is a must do in BG and if you are lucky enough to get Brad as your guide, you're in for a treat! He was so full of knowledge and made the entire experience a blast. It was amazing to learn this history of this area and how it was brought back to life after being abandoned and turned into an illegal landfill 🤯 Such a gem! 💎 #lostrivercave #bowlinggreen #kentuckyroadtrip #thingstodoinkentucky #kentucky #bowlinggreenkentucky #cavetour #exploremore #travelideas

Best overnight stay ever!? 😍🦙 During our time in Bowling Green, Kentucky, we put our @harvesthosts membership to good use with a stay at Alive N' Fuzzy Alpaca Farm! We helped bring all the alpacas up to the barn for the evening and even got to take some on a walk. Just be careful... they spit! (ask Howard, he knows 🤣) The farm is home to dozens of alpacas, gander geese, a retired mule, Peaches the dog, chickens and one llama! It was one of our favorite stays ever and very convenient to all the main attractions in Bowling Green! 🙌🥰🦙 #harvesthosts #bowlinggreen #bowlinggreenky #kentucky #rvliving #rving #rvlife #winnebagolife #alpaca #alpacafarm #uniquestays #roadtrip #kentuckyroadtrip

Little April recap 😍🌷 From Kentucky to Florida to Utah to Pennsylvania, we covered a lot of (air & ground) miles this month! ✅ Attended my first Women in Travel Summit ✅ Starred in the new Winnebago commercial ✅ Made new friends ✅ Spent time with new family members 🫶 ✅ Lots of doggie cuddles ✅ Got back into drawing ✅ Started filming for our Pennsylvania series Can't wait for May! ☀️ What are some things your looking forward to in the next month!?

We just hit 100,000 miles in the RV! 🎉🚐💨 Safe to say, we stopped to look around 😍 Those 100,000 miles in our @winnebagorvs Navion = two driving trips to Alaska, all across Canada, mainland Mexico and back and forth across the lower 48 more times than we can count. It's been a good run 🥹❤️ #rvliving #rvlife #fulltimetravel #fulltimervers #fulltimervlife #fulltimerv #winnebagolife #winnebago #rvdogs #exploremore #motorhomelife #rving #rvlifestyle

Trying to convince Howard to make this his new profile pic 😎✨🥂 Save this post if you're planning a trip to St. Augustine and want to have an amazing meal with super fun, craft cocktails! @forgottentonic_sta is tucked on Aviles Street and as soon as you walk in, you'll be wowed. 😍 The ambiance is cozy and inviting with a beautiful bar in the back corner. They have an extensive cocktail, spirits and NA drink menu and make sure you come hungry! We had the Cajun egg rolls, fresh catch (Mahi) and the pork chop which had the most delicious celery root puree. They even brought us their flourless chocolate torte to try and it was so decadent with the consistency of fudge! You know the Newstates will always try to find the best, most delicious restaurants for you ☺️ tough job, but someone's gotta do it. 🤤 #staugustine #staugustinebars #staugustinerestaurants #staugustineflorida #thingstodoinflorida #visitflorida #visitstaugustine #foodies #floridafoodie #craftcocktails

There's so much to see & do in St. Augustine BUT If you're short on time, these are our can't miss recommendations: 1. Stroll down Aviles Street, which just so happens to be the oldest street in the Nation! 2. While you're on this historic side street, pop into @forgottentonic_sta for amazing craft cocktails and delicious food. The blackened chicken egg rolls are *chef's kiss* 👌 3. Take the @flaglercollege Historic Legacy Tour. It's $17 pp and lasts about an hour, but you get access to areas the general public can't go. You'll get to see the largest collection of Tiffany glass and 11 Tiffany chandeliers ✨ 4. Step back in time at @castillonps where you can watch a cannon demonstration and learn from the amazing interpretative volunteers. The fort was constructed in the late 1600s 🤯 5. Visit @staugustinedistillery for a tasting & a tour. They have free options or different experiences you can book. It was so fun and we learned a lot about the distilling process! 6. If you're an RVer like us, try to snag a spot at @anastasiastatepark or just visit for the day! Easy beach access and beautiful campsites, what more do you need? 😍 Save this reel for your St. Augustine adventures! #staugustine #thingstodoinflorida #staugustinefl #castillodesanmarcos #flaglercollege #staugustinebars Things to do in St. Augustine | St. Augustine Florida | Things to do in Florida
