Our Travels
We started RVing in May 2014. Our first big trip was in Spring 2016, when we went from northern Ohio to southern Florida and back. Before then, all of our trips had been in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. But in March 2016, we changed our domicile from a house in Perrysburg, Ohio to a small mail box in Crestview, Florida.
Thus we began the official process of declaring our intention to become nomads. But we didn’t start traveling as “full-time” nomads until early June 2016 after we had sold our house. Now our home is on wheels.
We travel slowly, staying a week or two in each campground. By traveling this way, we seldom go more than 500 miles in a month. But even at this leisurely pace, it can be hard to remember what we’ve done. So we use this blog to record where we’ve stayed and what we’ve seen and done.
Campgrounds: Where we’ve stayed
We stay in four kinds of campgrounds. Click on an item below to see where we’ve stayed.
Experiences: What we’ve seen and done
We don’t travel just to live in campgrounds. We travel for the experiences. To visit new places and do fun things. Click on an item below to see some of our mini-ventures.
Routes: How we got to where we’ve been
As full-time nomads, we find it helpful to track the “where”, “when”, and “how” of our travels. Use the link above to see where we’ve been as full-time nomads, when we were there, and how we got there.
Both of us have traveled a lot for much of our lives. During our married life, we’ve lived in Ohio, California, Michigan, and Florida. And we visited most of the U.S. states, as well as going overseas, on various vacations and work assignments.
But our grandest travel adventure started when we became full-time nomads in 2016. Many RVers keep a map that shows the states where they’ve been. Below is ours. It only shows those states we’ve visited since traveling full-time. In order to qualify as a visit, we must have spent some time and money enjoying the state, not simply driving through it.
