Hi, I'm Richard - Just a guy doing his best to be a good dad and have fun along the way.

This is Harley - my daughter, co-pilot, and smoothie bowl mastermind.

And of course our doggos, Winnie and Zena - They handle the vibe check.

 

 

After Harley almost got taken out by a rogue hot dog with neon green guts at Lollapalooza back in ’23, we said screw it — we’re building something better.

​

Our whole family pitched in to turn Hope & Travel into a rolling 501(c)3 festival and event rig that serves stupid-good smoothie bowls, coffee and other locally sourced goodness we pick up along the way from some of the best small businesses in the country. 

This lets us follow our own dreams of full-time travel while funding the nonprofit mission of seeking out real connections with people along the way, and helping those in need when and where we can.

 

 - Proving that you’re never too old, too broke, or too crazy to chase a dream with the people you love
