Three fingers whiskey pleasures the drinkers
Moving does more than the drinking for me
Willy, he tells me that doers and thinkers
Say moving’s the closest thing to being free
lyrics to Willy the Wandering Gypsy and Me By Billy Joe Shaver

Travel has always coursed through my veins, from the earliest days of my life when my parents spirited me away to meet my great-grandparents in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, at a mere six months old. The road called to me, and I heeded its summons with each passing year, from chasing rodeos and embracing the cowboy lifestyle in my early twenties to exploring all 50 states, bearing witness to the natural and man-made wonders that adorn the American landscape.
Yet, there remained elusive dreams on my travel bucket list, their fulfillment shrouded in uncertainty. Little did I know that an unexpected twist in the form of COVID-19 would become the catalyst for a remarkable chapter in my journey.
In March 2020, as the pandemic swept across the world, my employer ushered us into the era of remote work to combat the crisis. Three months into this novel work-from-home experience, I seized the opportunity and acquired a motorhome, ushering in a new phase of exploration while still fulfilling my professional duties.
The ensuing thirty months have been nothing short of riveting, marked by moments of sheer delight and unexpected challenges that life on the road can bestow. From the serenity of a desert sunrise to the panic of unforeseen mishaps, the road has a way of keeping us on our toes.
With this website, I aim to share my adventures, insights, and the array of products and tricks that have made my RV life more manageable. Life on the road is a rollercoaster ride, teetering between sheer enjoyment and moments of pure, heart-pounding panic.
I invite you to journey alongside Bertie Bea, Rosie, and me as we traverse the highways and byways of this vast land. Together, we’ll unravel the tapestry of life on the road, sharing stories and strategies that encapsulate the essence of embracing wanderlust in unpredictable times.
Whether you’re an avid traveler or an armchair adventurer, there’s something here for everyone. So, fasten your seatbelts, and let’s embark on this wild, unpredictable, and utterly exhilarating ride together. Welcome to our life on the road.
