Our RV Adventure
Our nomad life began when we pulled out of the driveway of the home we sold in Shoreview, MN on June 29th, 2023. Everything we still owned was either with us in the fifth wheel camper which was now our home, in the truck that was pulling it, or headed for a 5’x10′ storage locker in Marshalltown, IA. The journey to reach that point was exciting, scary, and liberating. This is a journal of the places we’ve seen, the experiences we’ve had, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
