Campground Review: Mountain View Campground, Hiawassee, GA

We arrived at our first Georgia campground a day early, thanks to making a serious dent in our travels up from Florida and covering 450 miles on our first day of travel. Turns out we lucked out with our early arrival. Not only did that mean avoiding traveling during a

Tornado Weather in Georgia! Steps for Being Prepared in Severe Weather Conditions.

We had been in Florida since the end of March, and by the time May rolled around, it was time to go. April had ushered in premature summer weather, and most days we were plagued by heat, humidity, thunderstorms, or far too often, all three. So, we bid farewell to

Four Different Campground Types...and Why We Chose All of Them!

Be sure to read until the end to see our campground reviews and view pictures of each of the four locations! We made some great memories in South Florida, all thanks to our ability to stay in one general area for over a month. However, even on the cusp season

Our Top Adventures in South Florida

We spent over a month near Fort Myers, FL to give ourselves some stability and to spend time with Anthony's family. While a welcome reprieve from long drive days, we did do some moving around, bouncing between Koreshan State Park, a full hookup RV park, an Army Corps

Bamboozled at Koreshan State Park

We finally caught up to our initial "Launch Plan A" reservations! To recap, we were supposed to hit the road full-time on New Year's Eve but got delayed 2 months. We cancelled all our bookings until March 29 and then set out, hoping we could catch

The Best Day in Daytona

After days of work and rainy weather, it was finally time to take full advantage of our time in Daytona. For us, that's not going to a race or enjoying a beach day. It's taking some nature walks! In 2017 when we road tripped the East

Campground Review: Daytona Beach RV Resort

Florida RV parks are notorious for being hard to come by, especially in the busy season. We lucked out when we found a 10-night stay near Daytona Beach for March, right around Spring Break. When we realized our ongoing issues with our water pump, we needed to sit down and

Our Second Harvest Host Stay. No Ditches This Time!

Working From the Road as a Therapeutic Musician

When people find out we're traveling full-time, the most common question we get asked is, "Do you work from the road? What do you do?" My answer is definitely unexpected, and probably also not an answer that helps people envision themselves working remotely too. Nevertheless, it&

We Planned Our Entire South Carolina Itinerary Around a Restaurant

At the beginning of 2020, as we were minimizing the "stuff" in our lives, we also did a kitchen overhaul. We went through every pantry drawer and cabinet and threw out/donated all foods that had processed, refined, or sugary ingredients. With the exception of treats here and

Working from the Road as a Research Analyst

Working from the road is different for every job, but before I get into that, let me back up a second and answer a question I get a lot: What actually is my job? When people ask me what I do for work, I like to tell them I do

The Highs of our First State Park Stay

RV Life isn't a magical fairytale; it's just life, with its highs and lows. We experienced an influx of lows leading up to/arriving at our first state park, Jordan Lake State Recreation Area in North Carolina. We had to quickly change our plans for our

RVing With Pets

The Lows of our First State Park Stay

Once we determined that water pump #2 needed some serious TLC, we decided it was best to ensure we had water hookups as much as possible until we could get our trailer in for service in May. This meant that any plans for boondocking needed to be scrapped. Unfortunately, our

The Problem that Never Ends

If you've been following along, you know that our launch into fulltime RV living got delayed into the depths of winter. There were many reasons for this, but a big one was discovering that our water pump had died. We were having problems with it during our maiden

Campground Review: Cherry Hill Park, College Park, MD

When traveling to the DC area by RV, Cherry Hill Park is the place to stay. Only 10 miles outside the District, surrounded by all the suburban shops and restaurants you could need, near the University of Maryland, and chock full of its own amenities, it's no wonder

Tanny Takes DC!

After a half-week's stay outside of Philadelphia, it was time to journey southward. We revived our plans to spend two weeks in DC, which were initially to take place in January, but now would bring us into March. We had a credit left over from our cancellation at

"We Can't Keep Living Like This!" The Make-or-Break Moment

In psychology, they call it "decision fatigue." The more decisions you have to make, the more tired your brain becomes, and the harder it gets to make quality decisions. When we made the choice to halt our launch plans for the New Year, suddenly we faced even more

The Most Important Lesson in RV Life

From the very beginning, we approached our RV life systematically and thoughtfully. This meant that we planned out each step of the way, did tons of research, and stayed mindful of our feelings about the situation. We had many discussions with our loved ones to assure them that we were
