Roadside Attractions, Tiny Towns & Weird Little Detours

We’re Nancy and Zach. We live full-time in a converted school bus and have a habit of pulling over for the oversized, offbeat, strange, and completely unnecessary things scattered across America.

We live tiny. We stop big.

Right At The Light is what happens when two people live full-time in a converted school bus, travel with a small furry circus, and keep deciding the giant chair, weird sculpture, mystery coordinate, or questionable roadside sign is worth turning around for.
