Traveling here and there part timer.

[SoulRaven]

Taking off tomorrow morning heading south through the eastern states. I am a part timer. I do extended road trips to experience the mobile lifestyle. I once lived and traveled around the US in a motor home for about 5 years. We (wife and I) gave that up about 6 years ago to settle in a small home in Florida. I sold the motor home and even though I am very comfortable in house I still have the road itch that needs scratched from time to time. So, I just pack up my car (1992 Honda Accord) and roam around for a few weeks or a month to satisfy that desire. I carry a tent and camping equipment for the camp grounds and such, will sleep in the car for a night here and there in a Wal-Mart or maybe travel plaza truck stop etc., and do a cheap motel once in a while too. I like to mix it up a bit.
I am retired but my wife is lots younger than me and still works so I mostly do solo trips, unless she is on vacation. We talk sometimes about getting another motor home and start traveling again, but that may not happen. It was a pretty fun life full timing. But, there were things that caused us to go off the road and get a house. Anyway, I am happy doing my extended roaming s for now.
I have lurked here for a little while and have used some of the tips and suggestions in my part time travels. So just because I am not living the full time van, truck, or car life doesn't mean that I haven't been helped by this community, because I have. Thanks for all the information.

Welcome!

When you get back (or during the trip) tell us how the trip went.

Welcome! This community is pretty diverse so everyone can benefit and contribute - part time, full time, van, tent, RV or car - it's all good! Fulltiming does get in your blood though.

Wishing you the best of luck. Most of the members here seem to be West Coasters, but the Southeast has a lot to offer the traveler too. I also am based here in Florida, and enjoy roadtrips up into the other southern states.
