    Let's Talk Vintage Campers

    Thanks Everyone for you input on this. I am seriously soooo torn about what I want, lol. The two most important factors for me are getting the smallest rig I can (I hate driving big stuff) but also having room to sleep at least 3-4, which would seem to contradict each other. I think I'm going...

    A Gypsy Rising

    Thanks! We already home school so roadschool is just a natural extension of that. We do a lot of hands on learning vs book work. Academically we focus on reading and math, so they'll have a strong foundation in those. For other subjects we do lots of reading and watching documentaries (history)...

    Virtual Assistant

    I'd love to help. You can email me posts and I can correct spelling and grammar as needed and help you post pics if you like. I'm fortunate right now that my circumstances allow me the time to do some freebie work and gets some bylines, etc and build this business before I hit the road. My email...

    How Do You Stay Inspired?

    I found some beautiful inspiration here, folks. One thing I have always wanted to so is visit and spend time in National Parks. This has been an desire of mine since childhood. I came across this YT play list last night and the kids and I were glued to it. 58 National Parks Enjoy!

    How Do You Stay Inspired?

    I've been doing this more and more, spending time outside. But like you, I sit in the yard and look at the house and think of what a shackle it is, in a way. But the park idea is a good one, my girls love going to the parks so we're going to do that more and more. Also the other day, just for...

    Super Conversion!

    This is so cool, IMO. I'm really intrigued with the possibilities of a smaller vehicle (ie van ambulance as here) with tons of sleeping space. Thoughts?

    Let's Talk Vintage Campers

    Ok folks, after much research I've about settled on a small vintage camper of my home of choice for my girls and me, for extended camping trips. My main question is about towing and what kind of tow vehicle I'll need to tow, say a 15' trailer. I'm fairly sure my Chrysler minivan is NOT up to the...

    Virtual Assistant

    Ok friends, I've been researching the Virtual Assistant world for a few days now, and it sounds like something that would work for me a side income. Is anyone here actually doing this, and if so would you mind sharing your experience? Thanks so much!

    How Do You Stay Inspired?

    Yep, I feel ya! I deal with a constant does of BS all day long every day. this I another reason inspiration is important to me, so I don't get dragged down by other people and situations. If I can listen to a song that inspires my wanderlust and look at a few beautiful scenery pics...I'm find...

    How Do You Stay Inspired?

    These are wise words! I always tend to get bogged down in depriving myself now for something good later and that's a mistake. One, because if I feel deprived I won't stick to my financial goals and two, because living only for tomorrow is a bad idea. Tomorrow isn't promised, and I don't want to...

    How Do You Stay Inspired?

    I think many, many folks feel this way these days, Art. Not just aspiring vandwellers but the population in general. It's hard to get out of the cycle BUT I do believe 100% it doable and that I WILL do it. This is, for me, where inspiration comes in...when I start to feel overwhelmed by it...

    How Do You Stay Inspired?

    Bast, yep that's more or less my feeling too...trapped. I do believe this is all totally possible, but there are times when it feel so far off that it's hard to stay focused on my goals, most of which are long term.
