Full-time RVing
Before we started our life on the road, we were stuck doing the wrong kind of traveling: never home and never able to actually enjoy the places we went. We didn’t want to miss out on any of the comforts of being home or any of the adventure of traveling, so we started searching for a way to be both always home and always traveling. So, we chose RV life.
We lived in our RV for nearly 4 years, traveled from coast to coast multiple times, and got to see parts of the country we’d never even dreamed of. The nomad life comes with its own challenges, extra work, and hardship, but we found that that was exactly what made it so beautiful. We experienced exponential growth during our 4 years on the road, and our nomad lifestyle opened the door for us to see what we were capable of and truly start living intentionally.

With all the serenity and peace of outdoor-living and the adventure and challenge of a life of minimalism and constant travel, there’s a lot to be discovered in a year on the road.

Get to Know Your Traveling Self
