Welcome! We are Marvin and Kathy, former small business owners who, in 2016, got tired of the rat race, decided to close the business, sell the house, and move on to something else – but move where and on to what?? Good questions! Not knowing where to live, but both having a passion for travel, we decided to hit the road fulltime and by 2017 we had sold everything, moved into our first RV, and started working and playing across the country with our two fur babies.
Traveling is our passion and we’ve been fortunate to have done a lot throughout our lives, both domestic and international – but planes, trains, automobiles and hotel beds can be hard on the body and getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult. Plus, eating out all the time gets expensive and we like to cook, so it made more sense to take our bed, kitchen and bathroom with us. Not to mention we wouldn’t have to live out of suitcases and try to figure out what clothes to pack. Made more sense to take our house with us!
We are on a quest to find a place to “land” and call home. Covid interrupted this quest for a bit, but we found a way to forge on in spite of it.
