Life In The RV On The Road

Our experiences as full time RVers have given us the opportunity to really get to know an amazing array of new people. The contact lists on our cell phones and email have expanded beyond the short list of friends and family that we had when we began in 2006.

We just completed our final Christmas cards and the addressees included Arizona, multiple cities in Oregon, Washington & California, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba & Ontario. Next year that list will also include Maine, Missouri and Utah (at least). These are people that would never have crossed our paths outside of this lifestyle...and who have become close and dear friends, isn't it marvelous! We feel blessed to have this opportunity.

To support our full-time RV lifestyle, we try to coordinate volunteer assignments in the state or province that we are travelling to. The resident host programs vary in different places, but primarily it means that in exchange for a few hours of time contributed per day to the park, we are given the opportunity to live in the park, usually on a fully serviced site. Does it get better than that? Imagine the opportunity to call some of the most beautiful areas of the Canada and USA home!

Well, that is the background that I want to set for this blog. As we go along, I will try to share some of the ups and downs of this lifestyle that we have chosen.
Cheers.
