I'm not even a newbie, currently a wannabe doing my research. I've been surfing the net reading and gathering as much information as I can get my hands on. I've spent most of my life working different jobs on the water, mainly as a boat captain and have had the fortune to work and travel to many places throughout the Bahama's and Caribbean and Central America. Yet my real expertise and passion lie in photography, which I hope to utilize to supplement my income when I do hit the road. I've taken early retirement from my last job as the Dockmaster at a High and Dry Marina to look after my aging mother. When the time comes, I want to break free and live the life of a wanderer, going wherever life leads me. I am so grateful for websites like cheaprvliving.com and forums like this and folk like y'all that are willing to share your knowledge and experiences.
