Hello, fellow travelers.

We’re Karen and Ron Kleven—aka Ka-Ron, as our license plate proudly says—and we’ve spent a lifetime navigating gravel roads, family adventures, unexpected detours, and more than a few campground coffee breaks. This memoir isn’t a dramatic tale—it’s a patchwork of lived moments stitched together by laughter, resilience, and partnership.

It’s Not the Destination, It’s the Journey is our love letter to the road, and to each other. It’s about what we saw through the windshield, what we learned during the breakdowns, and the joy that comes from finding meaning in the everyday. Whether you’ve lived your own story from the co-pilot seat or are just joining ours, we hope you find something in here that feels familiar, comforting, and real.

And if you stick around to the end, Karen’s final chapter gives the perfect view from the seat beside the driver—written just as it should be.
