We got a little antsy waiting for the Airstream to come out of the shop. The trailer was stuck for about a week while we waited on some special order parts. I decided it was time to shave my head, like I always do before big adventures because shorter hair is much easier and less […]
Meeting other traveling families along the journey
There are many families with children traveling the country full-time in an RV. I don’t know how many families, but more that I expected when I first started looking around for them. There are also a number of families traveling in Airstreams, which is kind of subculture within the full-time RV community. We met one […]
How to manage rental property while traveling full-time?
We’ve talked about our real estate investment strategy and why we rent our home while traveling in the past, and here we are finally addressing how we manage those properties while on an adventure. When not traveling, we manage our own rental properties. We place the tenants, take the calls, and make repairs as needed. […]
Monthly Expenses for Full Time RVing – March 2016
We’ve completed our first leg of our RV trip around America, traveling 3,000 miles from Raleigh through Florida and back to Raleigh before heading west. The total trip has been about six weeks, and we have our first full month of travel expenses to report. Early on, we created a monthly budget for our RV […]

How can we afford to quit work and to travel for a year?
We didn’t win the lottery or some other prize. Neither of us has a trust fund. We didn’t inherit money from a parent or rich uncle. We didn’t empty our retirement nest egg or take out a loan to travel. These are some of the ideas that others have conjectured about how we can afford […]
Weekend Camping Trip for Families in Everglades National Park
Exploring the entirety of Everglades National Park could easily take months. There are miles of hiking trails, biking trails, and paddling trails, not to mention hundreds of thousands of square acres of untrammeled wilderness in the mainland park and surrounding islands in the bay. Few people have months to explore an area, and fewer still […]
Are we investing for the future while we adventure travel? (Updated 2022)
The most common questions I receive about our year of adventure relate to finances. How much does it cost? How can you afford it? What about your debts? I’ve always considered money discussions taboo outside of family or business, but in the context of our adventure, I feel it’s important to share financial details to […]
Life in the Slow Lane with a Beat Up Airstream
Without towing a trailer, I drive pretty fast. I’m mostly in the left hand lane going at least ten over, pushing cars out of the way and always watching for a state trooper around the next corner. When towing the trailer, I’m much slower, for many reasons, but for one awesome reason. I no longer […]
Camp at Myakka State Park – Sarasota, Florida
We had a tough time getting a reservation to camp at Myakka State Park. We were all but resolved to camp in a private RV park somewhere in Sarasota, but at the last minute a reservation cancelled and we swooped in to get it. Myakka State Park is awesome from so many perspectives, clean campsites, […]
