The Motorhome Diaries

This is a couple weeks overdue as I was in contact with these gents a couple weeks ago and told them I’d post about them. (Sorry Jason and Pete!) I have to admit without even knowing one piece of information about who these guys were or what they were doing, I cursed them. I spotted their enormous yellow home on wheels rolling down the street and wanted it to be my enormous home on wheels. I knew they must be doing something cool. I was jealous. 

I emailed them and got a response immediately. When you see a giant funky painted motor home rolling down a small town street with a bunch of stuff painted on the side- there’s bound to be something interesting going on or at least some interesting people inside. Sure enough I found there was. These guys happen to be on the search for freedom in America. I travel because I simply love to explore the endless amounts of incredible stuff and interesting people around every corner. Either way we had a connection by wanderlust and I was thrilled to hear back from them.
Poke around their site and check out what they are up to. Whether you agree with what these two young guys are trekking for or not- you’ve got to admire people who take action for what they believe in. They’ve figured out ways to finance their journey and keep their gas tank full by doing what they love. Sweet. Good for you guys. Thanks for the offer to meet up and exchange stories. I hope it happens sometime and oh would we ever have some stuff to talk about. I hope as the miles fly by- you are loving every minute of it. 
Here’s to the open road and wandering the country!

TTAA (Things that are awesome)

*Blackberry’s; You can work from the beach, the car, the golf course, the mall, your bed, your hammock, your porch…(modern technology rules.)


*Meeting new people that are friggin awesome; See above about Blackberry’s and being glad you have one because when you hang out with new friggin awesome people too much and have a case of the “Sh*t! I didn’t get anything done this weekend”- You can use your Blackberry to catch up on all the work you were supposed to do over that weekend.
*Doing work you love; Let’s face it, doing work you hate sucks. Sucking at what you do doesn’t get you anywhere and that sucks. When you start doing work you love and focusing on what you are good at, it feels pretty great. Then you wonder why you hadn’t done the non-sucky stuff sooner. (it’s Ok. God knows we have all had our share of crap jobs. It’s like a rite of passage or something so you can finally get to the good stuff.)
*Pizza at midnight on a Sunday night with friends (topped off with a few bites from a Ben & Jerry’s pint) chowing happily, exhausted and sun-kissed from the beach and recapping the weekends festivities; This needs no more explanation.
