Awe and Appreciation
Standing on a beach a short distance from where the Queen is safely parked, Otis is chasing his ball timing the ebb and flow of the waves, and just a short distance away a mama whale is teaching her newborn calf all the essentials of their life is hard to put into words. It’s moments like this that truly make us appreciate our decision to change our lifestyle, to bet on ourselves, and to pursue an everyday life that makes us feel alive!
Skooliepalooza for Airstreamers?
Something you probably do not know about us was Andrea’s final choices for our rig. After much research, deliberation and thought, it came down to two options, an Airstream or a “Skoolie”. It was only natural that we would eventually attend one of the biggest “skoolie” events of the year, Skooliepalooza. It was time to see what it was all about.
Watch Us on YouTube
We join Don and Mela, aka Rehabit8 on their youtube channel about their experience in Quartzsite, Arizona.
You Want to Live in a RV?
No sir or ma’am, we are going our own way. We will be the king, sheriff, and sole determiner of how we spend our days out in nature. We are done answering to anyone else it’s just us and all this beauty. That is…. until your gray and black tanks are full!
You Want to Live in a RV?
In our second year of full timing, we can attest, there are many amazing days and opportunities we have experienced because of the lifestyle. Meeting many great people, seeing incredible places, and loving the freedom to move about as we choose. However, we also feel a responsibility to make sure we share some of our truths of the lifestyle so that if you are considering making the jump you have a realistic picture of what to expect.
Our Vision for the New Year
Welcome to the new year and thanks for joining us on this adventure. This week we wanted to share one of the rituals we do to focus our thoughts and energy for the year.
Why We Love the Desert
Choosing to stay in the western United States this winter with the goal of avoiding the cold and snow can only mean one thing, head to Arizona. This week we share some of the reasons we have found that made us realize we love the desert!
The Campfire that Changed Everything
As Andrea stood up to stoke the fire it happened out of nowhere. No warning signs. No chance to intervene or pre-empt it. I still get chills and flashbacks just telling this story which maybe is part of the reason it happened. To ensure we are not on auto pilot in our own relationships. As I sat in my chair enjoy the conversation, things suddenly changed.
The Big 50 and Family
When we drove away from our community for the first time, Andrea set an intention that every year we would find a place where our friends and family could gather with us. These would take place somewhere new each year. A place none of us had been before. Where we would be free to create new memories without previous experience or expectations for comparison.
The Importance of a Website
While this week’s blog does not include a man in a pink thong bikini, we thought it could be a fun way to answer another question we receive. People want to know why we do not post our blogs directly on social media site. Wouldn’t it just be easier on everyone if we did? This week I wanted to break down why we don’t do that and more importantly why a website is essential for your business.
Never Have We Ever - Full Time RV Life Edition
We thought it would be fun this week to break down some myths and stereotypes people have asked us about in this new lifestyle. Here are a few things we have never done as full timers. Never slept at Walmart, arrived in the dark, been homeless, ran out of money or driven into Mexico.
