Hi all -
I'm likely to be single in a few months and am considering using my portion of the settlement to get a 5th wheel and take to the road for a year (or more). Late 30s, no kids, likely to also lose my ol' lady dog in the next few months so no pets soon ( ), and I work remote. I do need to have access to good cell and internet coverage to do my job, but I make pretty reasonable money working from anywhere. I'd like to connect to and learn from other women who've made the leap to full-timing to figure out if this is a good choice for me.
I love camping, hiking, snowboarding, and am getting into a couple other outdoorsy sports (kayaking and caving). I like the idea of parking somewhere like Breckenridge CO during the day, working 6a-2p, then boarding or hiking in the afternoons sounds brilliant. Then unhitching a truck and going out into the mountains for a rougher camping or longer hiking trip would be lovely. Eventually, I'd like to take a few months off and hike the Colorado Trail or another iconic long hike.
My fantasy life involves buying a reasonably new (but used) RV, remodeling it like a hipster, then saving some money while trying this lifestyle for a period of time. I would like to talk to someone else who has done something similar to really figure out if that fantasy can become a reality.
Any specific references people can recommend? Blogs? Books? Whatever?
