An Uniquely Drifter’s Voice
Hey there, road dreamers and sunrise chasers — I’m Erica, the heart and soul behind Seasoned Drifters.
Whether your adventure is a cross-country highway or a quiet Sunday morning, I built this brand to keep the travel spirit alive — wherever you roam.
​
Explore the World in Style
​
Travel isn’t just about arriving — it’s about savoring each mile, every sip, and every moment along the way. That’s why our coffee and apparel are crafted for people who live boldly, wander freely, and find beauty in the journey itself.
Seasoned Drifters began with a camper, a coffee press, and a dream — to share a taste of freedom with anyone bold enough to chase it.
​
Fuel Your Adventures
​
Every great journey begins with a cup — bold coffee for early risers, soothing tea for quiet mornings.
Each blend we carry is chosen from roasters and growers who share our wanderlust — honest, handcrafted, and made to taste like freedom.
Every sip we hope sparks something: warmth, wonder, and a reminder that the road never really ends.
​
Shop with Purpose
​
Every mile matters — and so does every purchase. Part of every order supports local makers, conservation efforts, and sustainable travel projects.
When you shop with us, you’re not just grabbing gear — you’re helping keep communities alive and places worth exploring.

Our Story
Hello, fellow adventurers! We are the Knowles family — and this is how Seasoned Drifters came to be: a dream born out of our longing for a life less ordinary.
​
Andrew and I both grew up in big families (he’s one of nine), and when we told our folks we wanted to hit the road, heads tilted and eyebrows raised. “How will you live?” “What about stability?” they asked. But somewhere in our bones, we already knew the answers.
​
We’d outgrown our small town — a place so quiet that the only red light was at the school zone. It was home, and it had charm, but our hearts were pointing elsewhere.
​
I moved to that town as a teenager and learned its rhythms slowly. I worked at Hungry Howie’s, one of the few restaurants around, and that’s where fate nudged me toward Andrew. He would walk in with friends, laughing, loud, making the place light up. I thought he was a bit strange — in the best way — and one day, daring myself, I scribbled my number onto his pizza box. That night, he called. Everything shifted.
​
We built a life together. Andrew ran a thriving deck-building business. I went into medical work until our children arrived. But then came the pandemic, and with it, reflection. We asked: Is this all?
​
We held onto a quote attributed to Mark Twain: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Medium+2Goodreads+2 That idea flickered in our minds, pushed us to find what gave us energy instead of draining us.
​
What united us? The outdoors. The surprise detours. The Jeep with no doors, wind in our faces, roads that never quite ended. That was our call.
​
So we decided to leap. To trade in the predictable dream — white fence, mortgage, clocked hours — for something freer. Debt-free. Adventure-first. Purpose-driven. That leap became Seasoned Drifters.
​
We believe in inspiring others to break free — to find their own paths, taste life in every cup, wear comfort on their travels, and know that every road can be their canvas.
This store is more than products. It’s a declaration: your next mile can feel like the start of something epic. Welcome to our journey. Welcome to yours.
