Destination Unknown

  I have been very fortunate and feel very blessed to be able to live this lifestyle on the road. A very important part of my life on the road is my connection with God.   I stay in contact with God throughout the day. First thing in the morning I say a prayer of thanks and ask for His protection for the day.  During the day I pray for friends and family that are in need or could use a little boost in their life.  I pray for healing for my friends that are sick or going through a particularly tough time. Many times I’ll stop somewhere along the way and sit for a little bit and do some meditation.  That’s my time to be quiet and listen to God. I met a group called Your Jesus Journey (YJJ) in Quartzsite last year and they have been a huge part of my life and my spiritual growth. Thad Debuhr and his wife Kaila started this ministry about 2 years ago and they too live full-time in their RV.  Thad does a morning devotional everyday at 6am Pacific time....

You can check them out at www.yourjesusjourney.com I also have my ‘co-pilots’, I travel with Marley’s ashes, she was our 15 year old black lab, that was and is always looking out for me. I also know my buddy Bill is always looking out for me too. Whenever I see a sunbeam show up in one of my pictures I know that is Bill watching over me.  RIP Bill, I love you pal I do a great deal of reading in the evenings that helps me stay occupied.  It seems like I always have 3-4 books I’m reading at the same time.  I have my Bible and my Big Book that are always...

Two years ago today I started my journey as a RV Full-timer/Nomad. I’ve been asked many times why I decided to live this lifestyle.  Well here is the 'short 'story of how it came about. I enjoyed watching Youtube videos about RVing and Sailing for several years. I enjoyed seeing the places people were visiting and how they managed living on the road or on the water.  I also enjoyed learning about the systems/mechanical/technical side of that lifestyle. I thought maybe someday I would like to do that…but I was still working and living in the DC metro area. The time wasn’t right.  When would it be the right time…maybe someday. Well a series of events took place that helped me make my decision to become a nomad. I had a serious injury at work that ended up requiring two neck surgeries (my neck is now fused top to bottom) and shoulder surgery (torn rotator cuff and torn tendon). While I was recovering from the surgeries my company decided to eliminate my position for...
