- Behind the scenes of BIg Truck Big Travels fulltime lifestyle. At the HDT National Rally in Hutchinson, Kansas, Sondra taught a class on Bullet Journaling (BUJO) with 20 other ladies who were interested.
It was a fun morning (I think Sondra could do that all day).
This is the presentation. We hope you learn something new or at least enjoy the class.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.
We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to RUclips channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks @Happilyeverhanks #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well. We're not exactly taking Life in the Slow Lane but we do stop and smell the roses.
Our journey is the destination. We want to share our experiences of our discovery of What's Next.

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove

Sondra nailed this bujo class. They all looked like they had fun. Sooo much information.
Thanks, Sonja. Sondra really enjoyed it as well as all the participants.
Sondra, no one in the entire RV world has a scrapbook of their adventures like yours, it is magnificent, unique and a treasure, I have seen what you do with the calcomanias, Cutting them out works wonders when you include them in your adventures, illustrating some great detail. My greatest admiration for you and Mr. Whataburger, with all my respect for him. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🙂. She loves it.
You two are the hardest working full time traveler's I've ever seen. Amazing work
Wow, thank you, Brendan! Idle hands as they say... thanks
Top notch! I scrapbook and journal never considered combining them. Great idea. Thank you so much see you next time. 😊🎉❤
You are so welcome! See you next time.
I have been looking forward to this class. I am learning Sondra. Digital brings great options but there is nothing better then sitting down with a book you created yourself.
Digital has it's time, Hans but Sondra really enjoys getting her "hands dirty". 😂😎 Thanks
Sondra, you are truly an artist! Beyond impressed. What a legacy for your family. I hope you keep your completed books somewhere safe. Thanks for sharing.
They are in a safe spot. Thanks
Sondra, I wish I could have attended your class. This was great. I have been scrapbooking for years. I used to teach scrapbooking and card making. Loved it. Now I just do for myself. I love this craft. You can be so creative. If you ever get back to Oregon, I would love to meet you. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure you guys would have a blast together. Sondra loves it.
I loved this……so creative, Sondra‼️‼️‼️
Thanks so much!
Good vlog! I scrapbook, journal, plan, all of that. Right up my alley! If we ever give up the sticks and bricks I'm going to have to get rid of a lot of stuff! My craft room is stuffed! LOL
Thanks. If you give up the house, you'll HAVE to get rid of plenty! 🤣😂😎Great lifestyle but there are ways to organize.
Yay!!! Finally, some BuJo insight. Great job.
Yay, thank you! 😊 🥳
Sondra
I just wanted to reach out and tell you how much I enjoyed watching your video on the BUJO class you taught! It was so inspiring, and it really sparked my excitement to get back into memory keeping and journaling. I've always loved the creative process of documenting moments, and after seeing your beautiful spreads, I'm feeling so motivated to dive back in.
The photo montage of your journal pages was absolutely amazing! Not only did it inspire me to make BUJO a more regular habit, but your travel documentation was especially compelling. It made me want to visit those places and experience them myself. Your passion really shines through in the video, and it’s made me even more excited to start a new journaling journey!
Thanks for sharing your creativity and expertise💕
Yay! Glad it was helpful and insightful. Thanks for the comment. 😃
Woo hoo! Thank you, Sondra, and thanks, David, for giving me a heads-up that this was coming!
Hope you liked it! Glad you saw it. Thanks
Sanda it was so nice to see you passionately talk about this medium of memory keeping! Makes me want to give it a try ❤️
She loves it. Careful... it's a dark path to BUJO-dom! 😆 🤣 Thanks
Thanks for this! Learned a lot but especially about the undo for taking off stickers! That’s amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! And the Undu is incredible. You've got to try it. You will be amazed.
I loved that you showed us this class! I am so inspired! Thank you for sharing. I am going to give it a try!
You are so welcome! Glad it inspired you.
I’m not creative so this video helps to know how to start being creative. Thanks for sharing. Well done Sandra.
You are so welcome and happy that it was helpful.
Thank You for sharing, i love journaling and planning
You are so welcome!
Great job with your class 👏👏 your travel journal's will be a wonderful heirloom to your grandchildren to read and enjoy combined with the vlogs. Bravo 👌👏 with ❤ from Melbourne Australia 🦘
Thank you so much! Sondra enjoys putting them together and going through it with the family. Thanks
Im absolutely stunned Sitka 17:51 made it into the BUJO! Such a bummer you didnt get to spend anytime here. I'm a lifer trapped in 14 miles of road but my husband and I can't wait to buy an RV to go full time in the lower 48!
Sondra thank you so much for sharing your passion! AND david for your humor & video skills! I'm not very creative but what you've grown into is so fun to look back at. I'd love to hear more about the things you track particularly regarding RV life
Oh wow! That will be fun. Sondra loves doing this. Thanks
Loved this!❤ Thank you for sharing. I actually started doing something similar, but had no idea what it was called and how to be more creative. Now I know!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
"BUJO" all over again. Congratulations Sondra.
Thanks
I so enjoyed this video! I was very curious about your journals and you did a great job of explaining your approach. Next year I will be retiring and plan on giving this a try. Thank you very much for the inspiration. 💝
You are so welcome! Sondra loves it.
I really enjoyed the talk sondra of interest ❤❤❤
She loves it.
Love your channel and its a bonus that you shared this! I to am a planner/memory keeper/journaler. My husband always teases me when you are on the hunt for stickers that there are two of us out there! 🩵
😆 Sondra is always on the hunt!
Amazing work Sondra ❤❤
Thank you so much!
This was fabulous!! 👏👏👏 Great job and so much seeing the journal’s you’ve done. Thank you!! 👍👍👍❤️
You are so welcome!
This was great. It actually makes me want to do this. I love how you showed how it was at first then it kept getting better! Thanks
Uh oh... you've started down the path. 😆 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it. Sondra loves it. Thanks
Great video. I'm inspired. I started with a 12 month calendar to keep track of my days in retirement. I have always been interested in how you did your journals on journey's. Great Job
That is awesome! Thanks for watching. Sondra loves it.
Thank you David for editing and posting this video, I have been waiting for it.
Great job Sondra, your class looked like so much fun. I have been watching some videos on different types of spreads, just trying to figure out how to start.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both. Safe travels.
You are very welcome and glad you enjoyed it.
Stay safe during your travels around the country . Peace and Blessings 🙏
Thank you, Brian. We try to keep the shiny side up!
Looked like an enjoyable time was had by all. Im too old to start something new, i kept a diary and wrote a book, that was my thing, but very similar to yours with pictures and stickers to emphasize a point. Love your ideas.
That is awesome! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
BEAUTIFUL WORK ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
My pleasure 😊 Appreciate your time watching
Thanks for sharing your expertise on bullet journaling. We are not full RV’ers but we are snowbirds for 4 months. I keep a daily journal in a little note book, it is nothing fancy. I reference the journal when we question ourselves on past events. We are heading out on Dec 2 from Ontario 🇨🇦 to spend the winter in SPI TX. Now I am thinking I need to go to Michaels and buy a new book and some materials. 😂😂 We travel in a small 24 ft class C so my space is limited. I do take embroidery and crochet supplies with me for the rainy days. ❤️ Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks and safe travels
Thanks for sharing this video. Every time Sondra mentions her Buju, I'm curious about how she does it and what it looks like. Now I know!
You are so welcome! Woohoo! Now, you're in the know. Thanks
Appreciate getting a lesson as I had never heard of BUJO. I keep a gratitude journal and enter any observations that God cares for me. A special sighting or experience where I sense His love. Have many books over 3,000 entries. Also place special cards or items. A perfect maple leaf, a candy kiss wrapper my grand shared with me, etc. 🇨🇦 ❤
You are so welcome! And that's a great book you have. So many things to be grateful for in this world.
I have been a scrapbooker/card maker for years but watching you do a journal/planner has made me think about that now. I have lots of stamps, especially by Gina K also so I look forward to trying your techniques. Now I just need to travel more LOL!
Wonderful! You've got the skills... just need a little road trip! 😆
VERY INTERESTING VIDEO LOVED IT !!!
Thank you!
I had no idea what BUJO meant. Now I know. Thank you. May be something I could get into.
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Great class, even Hubby watched it and enjoyed it!
Awesome! Thank you! Wow! That's saying something to keep his attention!
This is awesome! I used to do creative memories then I went to work when the kids got older and had no time for it. My husband and I have just retired and we just got our new Escape 23 camper delivered from British Columbia. We plan to sell our house and go on the road for a few years. I would love to get into this! To capture our memories in a journal. I wonder if I can find room in our little 23ft travel trailer for some supplies?! Thanks for your awesome videos!
That is awesome! Small is more flexible but you've got to be organized too. Good luck! Thanks for watching
Thank you! This was wonderful!
You're so welcome!
I'm a happy planner girl!❤❤❤
Oh My! Sondra loves it.
Sondra thank you for sharing this
You are so welcome
Cool looking pages. Very creative. Yeah, I failed several times trying to keep a journal of travels. This is interesting. Thanks!
You are so welcome! Sondra loves doing it. Let's get creative side get out and get loose!
THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO SONDRA..WHEN IGET MY 5TH WHEEL NEXT SUAMMER I WILL START THIS THANKS HAPPY THANKSGIVING LOVE YOU GUYS..
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Annamay. I'll be you can't wait for next year. Woohoo!
You need a 3d printer to make your stamps. The possibilities are endless! And savings over stickers! Take a look at the bambu A1 mini they are now simple to use and reliable and cheap!
Ok. That's interesting. Thank you
Hi I'm watching Sandra doing a class in journaling did you know Walmart carries sticker paper you just save image and print it out on the sticker paper I love it. It's in the party section at some stores and the craft section in others. Costs about $6 the happy planner stuff is available at Hobby Lobby I buy it there all the time
Good to know. Thanks
Really cool I would love to do this❤
Sondra loves it.
loved the video!
just getting started with travels and journaling.
which journal base did you use and where do you buy it? I've tried several styles and haven't loved any for all the reasons you mentioned.
Thanks. Sondra uses a journal from Walmart but they stopped making it. It was a dot format with perforated pages so she has some flexibility.
Very Good.
Many many thanks
Don't forget to mention about the stickers and the places you have stayed in and the area's visited
Oh she loves stickers!
MORE, more, more. I love this. I'm just trying to get into this and would love more information. Do you put in the pic and background theme and lastly, add the text? How do you add fold out pages? Questions, I've got lots of questions. Love the video, thanks for sharing.
😆 🤣 Sondra uses tape and glue to add pages. Plus she'll use scrapbook paper and just cover the page. She gets thick books in the end!
Great job Sondra! I’m still laughing at you saying it doesn’t have to be perfect … I know that’s what your goal always is (as is mine) in anything you do. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
So true! 😆 🤣 Thanks for watching and happy Thanksgiving to you 😘
What journal book do you use
It's a Walmart special which they don't sell anymore. Perforated, dotted format pages.
Stay Safe Out There
Thank you. We try.
Sondra, this video was amazing! Your explanation of BoJou was so informative.
The explanation gives form and creativity to what could be a very linear process. BoJou is a hybrid that encourages a person’s unique creativity.
Brava! Brava! 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks, Yvette. She loves it. And enjoys sharing the weekly process with our daughter via FaceTime. 😊
BuJo abuse at 00:21😂
Don't crush the papers!
Now you’ve intrigued me…..
😆 🤣 that's all it takes. Next you'll want to try it a little... then, before you know it, you'll have 1,000 pounds of scrapbook paper everywhere! 😆 🤣 Thanks
