Kerrville, Texas:
Wanderlust to me equals traveling for the fun of traveling, getting "lost," making new discoveries, wanting to see what's around the next bend, making friends along the way, finding good places to eat, and learning interesting history and facts. Bob likes to go on "walk-about" or long wanderings.
Workamping, for those of you not familiar with the term, entails
working in places you travel to or traveling to places to
work and living full- or part-time in your RV. Working while you're RVing may be out of financial necessity, or to keep from becoming bored, or even to volunteer. You can learn more at
workamper.com. Many RVers are
workampers. We workamp because we cannot afford to completely retire. This gives us the best of all
worlds--working, camping and traveling.
Walmart, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
- You are nationwide
- Good pricing
- You allow overnight RV camping (at some locations)
- You have almost everything an RVer could need including:
- RV supplies
- Groceries
- Medicine
- Clothes
- Kitchen stuff
- Music
- Books
- Shoes
- Delicatessen
- Cards
- Gifts
- Sundries
- Puzzles and games
- Pet supplies
What else? Part of our wanderlust has brought us to the
RV-Dreams Rally in Kerrville. The seminars are informative, practical and
witty. Having lived in our RV for six months,
we are learning what questions to ask. Many of our questions are being answered here about
wi-fi internet, RV maintenance, satellite TV, insurance, helpful gadgets,
workamping, budgeting, and full-time RV strategies.

It sounds like you are still having a blast. Never been much of a RV fan, nowhere to park them in this country, but I do see a correlation with Yachtie live aboards.
ReplyDeleteI think your lifestyle is probably the most sensible one in the world. :)
Blessings, Geoff.
Sandy and I enjoyed meeting you and dining at your table this evening. Also glad to have found your blog and looking forward to reading! Best of luck in your new position in south Texas!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about it and I don't think I've ever been in an RV. I can't imagine traveling for that long in one but I imagine you really do get to seem some interesting things.
ReplyDeleteLove that little patio cafe! I'm a Walmart fan too. Mainly because I have really odd hours and it's open nearly all the time so I can pop in during the middle of the night and get anything i need. A great thing :)

I found this post very interesting because my boyfriend (Bob) and I have talked about someday doing the RV camping//trip thing to see the U.S and even parts of our own country.
