Stick to the Blue Highways & Don't Forget the S'mores

Have you ever wanted to just quit your job and live the free life? How many times have you passed an RV on the highway, and wistfully wished that you could go wherever the road leads? Making this type of decision is not done on a whim, but if the desire is there, and with some careful planning, you can make it a reality. Today more people are making the decision to leave traditional living and embrace the unconventional lifestyle of full-time nomads for a variety of reasons.
Although this untethered lifestyle is romanticized on social media, books, and movies, it isn't always gorgeous sunsets and amazing adventures. Before you give notice to that soul-sucking job, make sure that you have a clear understanding of what living full-time in an RV really entails. I approached this experience with unreasonable expectations, and it was a rude awakening for me and my husband when we were confronted with the factualities of living full-time in an RV and workcamping in campgrounds across the United States.
From campground politics and pet discrimination to people falling face-down into campfires, we saw it all from Texas to Illinois, Georgia, Tennessee and Arizona. No subdivision in America can generate as much drama as what goes on in a small campground. It's not always s'mores and singing around the campfire at night. Negative human emotions aren't left outside the campground. It's not always love, peace and solitude in the campground community.
Let me take you on the journey from downsizing a home to choosing an RV and then setting off on whatever adventures the road presents. Learn the truth about workcamping and living full-time in an RV from someone who began this adventure with unrealistic expectations but quickly learned the true meaning of a nomadic lifestyle.
