Rootless Living

People are hitting the road and things are getting… busy. Full-timers are in a unique position having lived this day in and day out. We find ourselves in a position to educate, inspire and help. As things get more and more crowded this summer, you ha

@scottandtayy “Who needs roots when you have wheels?!” @openroading “How come no one told us north Georgia was so beautiful?” @adventure_bigblue “Sometimes the view from the side of the road is worth pulling off for.” @studioroam “Life is short but t

We don't know if we would have become digital nomads if 2020 hadn't shaken up our lives. Before Covid-19, we both had stable corporate careers in Los Angeles. In March 2020, we ran the Los Angeles Marathon on a Sunday and then the city locked down th

I have a huge passion for the outdoor lifestyle, and I'm a self I proclaimed life enthusiast! I've always been a wandering soul and free spirit for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing outside, taking care of stray and/or wounded animals, cam

We’re not normal. We’ve never been normal. We’ve always sought alternative lifestyles. We’re adventurous and impulsive. And now we live in a school bus. It all started with a planned trip to Chicago for a family wedding in October 2018. What wasn’t p

We were so excited to think about the adventures that lay ahead when we hit the road in 2018. The RV life was going to allow us to see so many places, experience new things, and visit friends and family throughout the country. But, we'd have to get "

Tomaz Coast to Coast was born the summer of 2020. We initially purchased our own RV to vacation in and realized she was seriously ugly, ha-ha. It’s a trend for some reason, new or old RVs, they all look like a Nevada Casino. We gave “DeLorean” a full

After months of preparation and planning to go full time as a family of 7 (plus a puppy!) we finally launched on August 20, 2020. We were as prepared as we could be in our 33 foot travel trailer pulled by a 2003 Excursion. Like any full timing family

As a kid, I wore a life jacket when I was learning to swim. I thought it was the only thing that kept me from sinking and I was reluctant to take it off. In adulthood, the careers and "normal" lifestyle that my wife and I had built were beginning to

We began our full-time RV journey during the pandemic, after selling our home and all of our belongings to hit the road in August of 2020. We travel with our two boys, 5 and 2.5 years old, and our chocolate lab. Adam works as a Business Development E

My name is Rosanna, I’m British and I am a freshly minted nomad, a convert, a new recruit. My journey into this lifestyle came via a long-distance relationship that first convinced me that I could move abroad. I set about designing a new career for m

Have you ever heard the saying “how do you starve a Jackson-hole hippie? Hide their parent’s credit card under a bar of soap.” Despite the common misconception, that’s not the case for many full-time nomads, my husband and myself included. Many of us

The only way for anyone to sustain this lifestyle is by finding jobs that allow for a little flexibility. Everyone has to make money somehow, and our jobs and how we make money on the road is a bit more unique than others. For the past 10 years I hav

Many people successfully start their own business or use their skills to work freelance jobs on the road. However, many others have regular full-time corporate jobs on-site in an office that could quite possibly transition well to remote work. Before

The question is did you find a mobile living lifestyle or did it find you? In November of 2009 I crashed on a mountain bike and broke my neck suffering a spinal cord injury. This trip-over-your-shoelace type accident left me paralyzed from the chest

Working from the road looks different for everyone. Some people work outside of the RV. For those who work from it, establishing a defined workspace requires a bit of additional thought. When we hit the road for the second go-around, this time with t

Most full time RVers don’t start their RV journey with the intentions of going beyond our nation’s borders. After all, the USA offers a variety of landscapes, epic vistas, and natural wonders to enjoy right in our own backyard. But that also means ma

Selling off your furniture, donating half your closet to Goodwill, and escaping the corporate ladder in order to enjoy life and be time-rich is practically the norm today, that is, if you're 30-something without kids. But choosing to chase waves, sum

When we began full-time RV life, we had no clue what we were doing. Still, we jumped into it - eager and ready to learn. In 2020, our family embarked on a journey that would take our family from coast-to-coast (three times!). We visited over 21 state

With an incredible food scene, live music, outdoor activities, Hill Country views, quirky shops, and so much more, Austin offers a little something for everyone and makes for a fun getaway for digital nomads. Austin has been our hometown for the majo

We got into tiny living when we were living on our boat full time that we had in San Diego, CA. We originally had no idea about Vanlife. We just wanted somewhere to lay our heads down for 2-3 days and that’s when we got the van. One of our favorite p

GPS: N 33.2155, W -116.2434 One of our favorite spots to boondock in Anza Borrego State Park is Blair Valley. It’s a great road that seems a little rugged at first, but if taken slow, will lead to wonderful views. We had no problem pulling our 27 foo

Two men on a decades-long journey, bordering on obsession, into Oregon’s drug and crime-infested underworld to answer one question: Who really killed Michael Francke? If you can never get enough true crime… Congratulations, you’ve found your people.
