Haven’t been home in 7 months!

People often ask me if I miss joke since I’m a traveling nurse by trade! The answer is no! My husband and I travel together in our Rv when we aren’t home! Our Rv is like home away from home and we travel with our dogs. We get to move around and change our view and backyard. It’s our own small space! If there was one thing I miss about home it’s my huge shower but besides that I can’t say I do!

It’s actually taught me how much we don’t need THINGS. We travel light. I’ve been traveling for work since 2020.

We’ve met so many amazing people and have been all over the US.

As a traveling nurse, being away from home for extended periods is a unique adventure. The RV lifestyle offers the chance to see new places and meet diverse people. Living in a compact space teaches valuable lessons about minimalism and appreciating experiences over possessions. Traveling light is not only practical but liberating, sparking a newfound freedom that enables exploration at its finest. For those considering the RV life, it’s essential to prepare, ensuring a balance between comfort and mobility. Pets can be a delightful addition, bridging the gap of home and enhancing the travel experience. The journey can also foster a sense of community among fellow travelers, allowing connections that lead to lasting friendships. This lifestyle may even help individuals discover new passions or interests in local adventures. Whether you're contemplating full-time RV living or simply seeking a change in scenery, this experience is filled with enriching stories and memories waiting to be made.
