ABOUT US

In February of 2021 we made a big decision and went all in. Time to do something completely different. We sold everything off – household and shop in six weeks! To read past blog posts about our story, click here.

On April 1, 2021 we picked up our 2010 Winnebago Access and started our adventures as full time RVers. Since then we haven’t looked back. Turns out the nomadic lifestyle suits us well.

Splitting our time between northern cooler climates in the summer and southern warmer climates in the winter – we are truly enjoying this life of exploring, living simply, and the adventures that come with it all.

We are not retired but instead refer to ourselves as “selectively employed”. Shane runs his own remote car tuning business and I am the full time cook, accountant, and travel coordinator. On the side I am a yoga teacher guiding individuals who value holistic care.

Our lifestyle is a simple one, allowing us time to enjoy the freedom this nomadic lifestyle affords us.

    The month of June flew by as expected. Anytime we are back in Indiana visiting the kids it feels time speeds up. Could it be time is sped up due to the fast paced city life? It seems plausible to me. So many things in one month so I’ll jump…
