Why RV

  • I love to travel but I don't have enough vacation to go to all the places I want to go each year.

  • My travel priorities have always been to visit my parents and siblings over the holidays. An office job with limited vacation days leaves little time for other travel for adventure and to learn about the world.

  • Over the past few years, my siblings, nieces and nephews and their children have relocated all over the United States making it more challenging to visit them.

  • Full-time RV living will let me work from "home" and travel at the same time.

  • After 6 weeks walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, I realized how much I really loved living in a place and meeting people. I don't want this to be a once in a lifetime experience.

  • I am too impatient to wait until I retire at age 67 to travel as much as I want. (That's almost ten years away!)

  • I worry that as I get older I won't physically be able to do the things I want to do by the time I actually retire.

  • I love camping and nature. My family's favorite trips have been when we went camping together.

  • As a genealogist, I can travel in my RV to courthouses, archives, churches and other sites to find the records of people's ancestors.

  • As a Young Living consultant, I can use therapeutic grade A oils to help keep my RV free of toxins and help others who live full-time in their RV to do the same.

BE BRAVE

I need to remember the "Be Brave" pledge I made as I left my stone at foot of the cross at Cruz de Ferro in Spain during my Camino.

(Can you find my stone in the photo?)

So, why not?

  • Can I really afford to do this? "I am working harder to grow my Young Living business"

  • What will people think of me? "I am trying to stop worrying about this"

  • Is it safe? "Other women who do this full time say it is if you stay aware"

  • Will I be lonely? "Probably sometimes, so I will need to be more outgoing"

  • Will I mess up the legal requirements of a domicile? I'm a new Floridian and they love me"

  • Who will take the valuable family items? "My siblings, nieces and nephews did"

  • What if I hate it and can't get another good job? "I am highly qualified, no problem"
