Our First Camping Trip Before Full Timing

When we decided we wanted to try to full time in our pop-up camper everyone we knew thought we lost our minds. We on the other hand, thought it would be adventurous. We didn't know of anyone who had ever attempted this, but we were sure it was doable. So we started taking camping trips to get the feel for what we would need to full time. Or better what we could live without. Anyway this ways the very first trip.

Pop-Up Campers VS Travel Trailers

Image
We are often asked if we will upgrade to a travel trailer. Or why we choose a pop-up camper for our adventure. The answer for us is pretty simplistic, to get closer to nature. The pop-up camper gives you much the same experience as tent camping would. It is however more convenient, most have a small kitchen sink, stove and refrigerator. They have a dinning area and your not sleeping on the ground. Travel trailers on the other hand are like tiny houses on wheels. I believe for us it would be to comfortable. I believe we would spend too much time in the comfort of a travel trailer and less time exploring nature. Not to say that as we age more we wouldn't get something more comfortable. I am going to say that at this time in our life the pop-up is the perfect choice for our adventure. It gives us all the comforts we need. We can fit her in tiny spots that would be difficult to fit a trailer. She is easy to tow, we can see all around her when on the road. Most of all she is home!...

WHEN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY, KEEP FAITH

Dear Friends, Our original plan was to start this nomadic lifestyle, five years from now. But...life happens, just because you love something doesn't mean it's good for you. As much as Rob and I loved our job and the people we worked with, it was taking its toll on us. The long hours and inability to take a vacation together was beginning to affect our mental health. We resigned, our last day of work was Friday February 10, 2017. This is where our journey begins. I invite you, my dear friends, to follow us thru the good times and the bad times. To be a shoulder when we need someone to lean on. An ear when we need someone to hear us. Since I have a month of writing to catch up on, the dates may not be exact but the events will be accurate. I will catch up and  soon it will all be in real time. Our first week of freedom February 11-20, we spent communicating our excitement and fears. After all, these events were not to be for another five years. Quest...
