FROM AN ORDINARY LIFE TO FULL-TIME TRAVELERS
Growing up in Colorado, Marc was never a big traveler. He mostly traveled on business, and never really had time to explore, with the precious little vacation he got as an American. As an Australian, Julie had traveled in her own country, and done a few overseas trips, before moving to Colorado, where she met and married Marc. We had a nice life together, living in a nice townhome, in a nice suburb with nice cars and decent jobs. But we wanted more in life. More freedom, more travel, and more experiences. And we didn’t want to have to wait for retirement to enjoy it.
In the summer of 2011, we met a couple of full-time RVers – something we had never heard of – at a pizza restaurant in Colorado Springs. They were clearly loving life and traveling while they worked. So we asked them a ton of questions, and what we learned opened our minds up to a whole new way of living and traveling. That conversation would end up changing our lives. But it didn’t happen right away. That night, all the way home in the car, we talked about the possibility of living, working and traveling in an RV. But when we returned home, life, jobs and commutes got in the way, and we promptly forgot about the idea.
Then, in 2013, as we began dreaming about new possibilities for our life in the year ahead, we remembered that conversation with that RVing couple we met at a pizza restaurant. We dove into learning everything we could about RVs and the RV lifestyle, in blogs, videos and ebooks. And learned about a whole new way of living, that would allow us to fulfill our dreams of more travel and adventure – while still working – while spending more time together, and with our dog, Coda, too.
What we discovered opened the door to a whole new way of thinking, living, and being. If we were brave enough to let go of our “traditional, normal life” and take the leap into a full-time life on the road.
We set ourselves some goals, a deadline and created a roadmap for our new traveling lifestyle. We poured ourselves into learning everything we could. We wanted to be smart about it and do it affordably, so we could still achieve our eventual goal of early retirement.
Marc had already changed jobs, to a remote role he could do from home. Which posed the question, where was home anyway? As long as we had internet, we could work. So our first challenge was finding out if we could stay connected on the road, so we could continue to work. An ebook by a full-time RV tech couple showed us that we could travel and stay connected, and didn’t have to be rich to travel. They were living our dream of full time travel while working and living a life of freedom. And we wanted to do it too. So we put our townhome up for sale, bought a motorhome, and in June of 2014, we literally drove off into the sunset and began a multi-year RV road trip!
Since then, we’ve visited all of the 50 USA states, driven over 100,000 miles, explored countless national parks and state parks, stayed in private campgrounds and dry camped in the middle of the desert and eaten our way around the country, trying local cuisines in big cities and small towns alike. We’ve summered in Maine, wintered in Arizona, hiked the rocky mountains in Colorado, parasailed in the Florida Keys, cruised to Alaska, driven up into Canada and walked across the border into Mexico. We even flew down under to Australia a couple times, working at night and exploring beautiful beaches, zooming over tropical rainforests and snorkeling the gorgeous Great Barrier Reef by day. We’ve owned and rented RVs – from a small travel trailer to big Class A motorhomes, and smaller RVs in between. Along the way, we’ve made lifelong friends, and most importantly, made it our mission to inspire and help other people like YOU to realize your own RV and traveling dreams, the same way that couple from the pizza restaurant unknowingly helped us realize ours.
We’ve changed rigs a couple of times since we began RVing, to have different kinds of experiences. In 2018 we transformed a 1999 diesel Class A motorhome into a beautiful glamping home and office on wheels, and shared it in our Ultimate RV Makeover Series. And after buying a home base again in 2020 and switching to part time travel, we downsized and now tow a cute little Casita behind our Jeep, which enables us to go to places we couldn’t access before with our bigger RVs.
This website has been featured on major media sites time and time again because it’s among the best RV advice out there. Our system and content here works. We’re going to make you a smarter, safer and more successful RVer.
