Hi all!
It was suggested I introduce myself here...So here goes!
The name's Mark. After spending most of my "adult" life trying the stationary life, my wife and I went mobile/nomadic in April 2017. We got bit by the bug on a month-long road trip into Canada in 2007 to see my grandmother, but always had an excuse not to do it. Come the fourth layoff in 10 years, we decided we needed to do something different. Another three and a half years later, with lots of downsizing our stuff and trying new things, we found ourselves in my wife's uncle's driveway making a last purge and packing up our Subaru Outback to hit the road!
We were mobile, living out of a (series of) tent(s) with out two cats.
After a year, we returned to a town we know well to regroup and upgrade a bit.
The Subaru was traded for an SUV.
We purchased a vintage trailer to call our tiny house.
We bounced around the national forest until the snow came, then rented a place to park.
We'll go back to bouncing around the forest once the roads open up (and dry out!) while we work on the house, and get some money set aside and some plans worked out and then it's off again.
As it is, our feet itch for the road. As Bing (Crosby) and Bob (Hope) put it...we've got the Vagabond Itch!
