Fulltime traveler
Hi 👋🏼 My name is Allison, and we’re a family of 5 that travel fulltime in our rv!
3 facts about me
•My middle name is wonderland
•I love baking
•I could talk for hours about mental health
Now i’m sure your wondering why anyone would choose to live tiny, with kids! Well here it goes!
Fulltime rv living was always a dream of mine, but it was never the plan, until it was. We owned our first house by 23, and after Covid decided to sell taking that opportunity to move to a “better area” for our kids.
Shortly after moving into our second house we learned my husband would be working out of state. With a mortgage, car payment, me in school, and the kids deep in extra curricular activities moving again wasn’t an option. Josh working out of town quickly became him travel to multiple states, and always moving. This also made it so he couldn’t be home often, I’ve counted many times and in 2022 we only saw him 84 days out of the year.
After an entire year of this we knew this wasn’t the life we wanted. After speaking with the kids our decision to sell what was supposed to be our forever home so we could travel as a family became reality. From the day we listed our house we had 45 days to be out, this meant selling everything, packing up what we needed, finding the perfect rv, and a truck to pull it all with in 45 days. I’m not going to lie, that was hard, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
As I write this I’m sitting in our little home on wheels, surrounded by laughter, family, and love. It’s a very different picture then this time last year! So maybe rv living wasn’t the plan, but I absolutely love that plans changes, and I love our little life♥️

Living full-time in an RV has become a popular lifestyle choice for many families seeking adventure and quality time together. One significant advantage of RV living is the flexibility it provides, allowing families to travel to various locations without the constraints of traditional housing. This lifestyle fosters closeness as families share new experiences and create lasting memories. Additionally, it encourages a simplified lifestyle, reducing material possessions and focusing more on experiences rather than things. Mental health benefits are also noteworthy; the ability to explore nature and new environments can significantly reduce stress and promote well-being. Outdoor activities become more accessible, enhancing physical health as families engage in hiking, biking, and other adventures. Moreover, RV communities often provide strong support networks, connecting like-minded individuals who share similar lifestyles and interests. Transitioning to RV living, as many families find, requires careful planning. The process involves selecting the right RV model suitable for a family, understanding the logistics of travel, and adapting to a compact lifestyle. Educational activities can also be integrated into travels, allowing children to learn about different cultures and environments as they explore. For those considering this lifestyle, researching locations, creating a budget, and establishing routines can significantly enhance the RV experience, making it fulfilling and enjoyable. Many families share their experiences on social media, offering insights and tips for others looking to embrace the RV lifestyle. As families embark on this journey, they often discover not just the world around them but also the beauty of togetherness and the meaning of home, no matter where they park their RV.
