November 30, 2023 – Traveling with Rich & Julie
And it could be the right choice for you too.
Our days are joyful with laughter and dance!
Embracing full-time RV living can be an exciting and fulfilling experience, offering a unique blend of freedom, adventure, and simplicity. Here are ten reasons why living in an RV full-time has been the right choice for us.
1 We have completely embraced a minimalist lifestyle. Moving into an RV caused us to downsize extensively and live with fewer possessions, which has promoted a simpler and more intentional way of life. It has taught us that all of that stuff didn’t matter after all. Moving into the RV helped us strip away the distractions and clutter of modern life, allowing us to focus on what truly matters — relationships, experiences, and personal growth.
2 By selling the house and everything we owned, we were given more financial freedom and flexibility. RV living has been more affordable than traditional housing because we no longer have expenses like property taxes, electric bills, water and sewer bills, and home maintenance costs. This has freed up financial resources for travel, experiences, and personal goals. Although we have had some expensive repairs on the motorhome.
3 We have unleashed our inner adventurer. Full-time RVing has given us the chance to explore many new places and experience the beauty of the country firsthand. We have the freedom to travel whenever and wherever the mood strikes. Each month we talk about where we might want to go next.
4 We have escaped the monotony of routine daily life. Breaking free from the daily grind and embracing a life of spontaneity allows each day the opportunity to bring new adventures, encounters, and discoveries.
5 We have strengthened family bonds and created cherished memories by living in our daughter’s backyard and having the freedom to travel to wherever our oldest son lives. Plus, spending quality time with Rich in a close-knit environment, surrounded by nature’s wonders has improved our relationship. We are creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
6 We are pursuing our passions, interests, and dreams. With a more flexible lifestyle, we have ample time to dedicate to activities that bring us joy. Rich has more time to fish and I have more time to write and take pictures. We wake up to stunning views, enjoy outdoor activities, and immerse ourselves in the tranquility of nature.
7 Connecting with a community of like-minded individuals has given us new friends. Joining a thriving network of full-time RVers who share our passion for travel, adventure, and minimalism has brought new people into our lives that living in a house could never do.
8 We have embraced a more sustainable and eco-conscious lifestyle. By minimizing our environmental impact such as living with less, utilizing RV parks with eco-friendly practices, and exploring sustainable travel options, we are making a difference in the world. We have embraced the simplicity of RV living and are savoring the richness of life on the road.
9 Living in an RV full-time has helped us with personal growth and self-discovery. We have both stepped outside of our comfort zones, challenged ourselves, and discovered new facets of our personalities and strengths.
10 Living a life of freedom and authenticity has helped us break free from societal expectations. Pursuing a lifestyle that aligns with our values, passions, and dreams has made us happier humans. We have learned to adapt to new environments, embrace challenges with resilience, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Moving into the RV and embarking on the journey of self-discovery has been the best decision we ever made for ourselves.
