Traveling isn't something that we ever saw ourselves doing on a full-time basis. Sure, we had taken trips before and overall we really enjoyed them. We didn’t enjoy sneaking the dog around and constantly telling the kids to be quiet and to be mindful of the people around us, but that’s how it goes when you stay in hotels.

It wasn’t until some time in the last handful of years that we began to really think about what it would be like to travel on the road, full-time, in an RV.

But really, how would it all work? What about work, for that matter? How do you see the sights and still have time for the day job? What do the kids do all day when you’re working? What about Internet?

We stopped asking questions and started planning. We downsized, selling what we could and donating almost everything else to a local charity. We converted our cabin in the Appalachian Mountains to a vacation rental then set off for a life on the road.
