The Constant Rambler – Behind The Scenes :) #rambleon

By Kenin Bassart @Constantramble

Everyone that knows me know that I basically travel full time now. I am always somewhere new doing something different and trying to get the most out of my life. The fact that I get to do this full time with the loves of my life (Kenin and Zoe) make this pretty Utopic for me. While traveling, we take thousands of photos for TheConstantRambler. We only use about 10 photos when we do a post. All of the inappropriate, cheeky ones get left behind. :(  Here is a great behind the scenes look at a day in the life of a constant rambler.  This is pretty much our  ”b-roll” of photos that we took along the way but were not appropriate for specific posts. :) Enjoy!

Stuck on a bus for 8 hours. This face should be kept Behind the Scenes!

This photo here is probably where the birth of our second blog OnTheRoadToFit was born. No one should ever ever ever be eating a salami like this! When stuck in a car for 12 hours a day, utensils are hard to come by.

Is that an entire salami? Why yes it is!

Many times on the road, we are not sure what we will get into when stopping to use the facilities.

What? I just stopped at that rest stop to pee. I swear!

Which brings me to a good point, sometimes nature is safer.

Road fatigue can takes it’s toll. Sometimes you need to pull over and rest.

Too much road!

When sleeping at the wheel make sure the car is in park and the cameras are out of reach.

Some people complain about driving fatigue, but then they make horrible passengers. Make sure you bring enough duct tape and zip ties for times like this.

Need to get back behind the wheel.

Pulling all-nighters can be fun. There is so much life that comes out at night that you won’t ever see during the day…

…but it doesn’t count for diddly if you are going to nap through it.

Traveling full time means you have to make certain sacrifices, like fancy glasswear, but there can still be champagne filled birthdays.

And sometimes life on the road can take us into the lap of luxury.

But we are always ready for the road even when it’s covered in ice and snow.

Can you spot the dog?

Photobomb level … expert!

Sometimes we find ourselves drinking while we work which can be totally obvious.

Traveling can be exciting

Other times, the evidence of a night of drinking can be very subtle.

Hangover? What hangover?

Every once in a while, we are mildly inappropriate.

Sometimes we (mostly Kenin) push it over the edge.

Overall though it’s been pretty epic… We’ve crashed tailgating parties…

But we do it together and we wouldn’t trade this for anything.

Hope you enjoyed our mini ‘B’ role. There will sure be many more to follow since this is only a scant few from our thousands of photos. Stay tuned!
