Introducing World Travelers, Kira & Logan

Hey guys!
We are Kira, Logan, and Holly 🐾

In 2017 we made the decision to sell our house and most of stuff and traded it all
for life on the road. We bought our 2015 Roadtrek Zion and set out in November
2017.

Since hitting the road full time we have covered over 55,000 miles, visited 45
National Parks, we have made it to the Arctic Ocean, hiked in Alaska, lounged in the
The Florida Keys, and been blown away by the breathtaking beauty of Newfoundland.
In 2 years we have divided our time between the U.S, Canada, Mexico, and Ireland! The
the best part is, there is still so much to see!

We made the transition to living in our tiny home on wheels with zero experience in
an RV. But two years into this journey in under 100 square feet of living space we
have adapted to our space and have never looked back! We do the van shuffle
every day, we have gotten our selves stuck a time or two, and are definitely in need
of shirts that say “I’m sorry for what I said when we were leveling”. We spend most
of our time camped out on public land, with a few great parks and campgrounds
every now and again.

We love chatting with fellow travelers and folks considering this lifestyle.

We hope to see you down the road!

Introducing the Schmand Family

Hey there! My name is Ryan! My wife’s name is Heather. We have 3 children, Corbin (12) Zoey (5) and Zachary (4). Together we are fulltime5. We started fulltime living in our RV almost 1 year ago! We sold our house and everything in it to try out RV Life! Our goal was to be able to spend more time with our children as we gave up things like birthday presents and Christmas presents to experience more quality time spent together! We now buy our children fun experiences..rather then objects that filled our house with clutter! Since we have downsized our lives we have been able to save more money and work less, giving us the opportunity to see more places and do more things with our 3 amazing children. We love being able to travel and since we homeschool our kids, traveling for us is very easy. We always have our laptops with us and they can do their school work from almost anywhere in the world! Most things that they experience on the road can also be used towards school. For example, our oldest son blogs and that can be used for his English and socials!

We are currently on the biggest adventure of our lives as we ditched the RV for 2 months back home and started backpacking southeast Asia! We’re in Thailand at the moment and will be headed to Cambodia next, followed by Vietnam where we will spend our new years and Christmas! We leave Vietnam January 15th and return home to Canada to resume RV Life! We hope to be able to show our children a side of the world they never would have seen before had we not switched our lifestyle. Experiencing a new culture and seeing how other people live gives them a new perspective..and hopefully humbles them at the same time! We are extremely excited for what our families’ future holds as we are beyond excited to be able to start a new chapter in our lives!

Sincerely Ryan and Heather Schmand

#11 Reason To Buy A Camper: Flexibility

Owning a camper brings so much flexibility into your life. Especially if you own a motorhome. You can just pre-pack your RV days or weeks before and simply hop in and start driving away to your next grand adventure. The RV lifestyle opens up a new community for you to discover and you also get to see some amazing sites along the way. It’s practically taking your second home on the road, so you will never miss the comforts of home. Do you have pets? They, too, will feel comfortable staying in your home on wheels. What more could you ask for?

Introducing Steve and Shannon

Hello! Buying our first camper, in 2013, was one of the best decisions weʼve made for our family. It has changed our lives in so many ways. We have created countless family memories in our camper, that we will forever cherish. Weʼve traveled to so many places and stayed in the comfort of our vacation home on wheels. Weʼve made so many friends along the way that have enriched our lives. We love sharing and inspiring others to venture out on the road and see America in the comfort of their vacation home on wheels. – Steve & Shannon from The Hitched Life.

#10 Reason To Buy A Camper: De-Stress Your Vacations

I don’t know about you, but de-stressing is one of my top goals in life. Not only does it affect your health, but the health of the people around you. There are a ton of articles, how-to books, and advice on the web about how to de-stress. Those are all good, but when it comes to going on vacation, it can be a lifesaver. Let me tie all of this back to camping. There is just something about camping in the woods that automatically de-stresses you. The sound of birds singing, creek water dancing and the coziness of a campfire flickering at night. All of these things and more are auto de-stressors. So, what are you waiting for?

#9 Reason To Buy A Camper: Save Money

Who doesn’t like saving money? Let’s face it, vacations can drain your wallet quickly. You have the cost of hotels, car rentals, restaurant bills and if you are flying, the airline ticket fees. When you own a camper, you can save SO much more money! You already have your own place to stay, you can pack a week’s worth of food and avoid the hassle of the airport. Camping gives you the flexibility to travel. It also allows you to see the things that you might not get to see while staying at a hotel. Saving money will allow you to enjoy family time without feeling guilty about how much money you will spend. So what are you waiting for?

#7 Reason To Buy A Camper: Become Part Of The Community

Camping is not just a summer activity, its about belonging to a community. It’s a different world when you first enter a campground. You enter a new community of people who share the same interests and camp philosophy as you do. It’s like gathering around a campfire, while a buddy of yours starts playing a familiar tune on their guitar and everyone joins in to sing along. It’s that feeling you get when stories are being told and laughter breaks out all at once. It’s simply that feeling of being “home.”
