Getting started...

Scout and I have been friends for a few years now.  We share a love of travel, dogs, food, and adventure, and often talk of what it would be like to dramatically change our lives and live out some of our dreams.  Various events over the last several months have led to some pretty big changes in both of our lives, and we find ourselves in the position to really consider making some of our dreams a reality. We wondered, what would it be like to work for ourselves instead of someone else or for a big company?  Do we really need to live in one place, or can we be more mobile? If we could pick up and go anywhere, how would we start and where would we go? Can we actually do it? Is this just a crazy dream?

The more we daydream and brainstorm, however, the more realistic and possible our crazy dream seems.  So far, we are figuring out ways to reduce our debts and save.  We are researching RVs and trailers, and we are mapping out places in the United States and Canada that we would like to visit and/or live for an extended period of time.  We are learning about grey water, anti-sway bars, and towing capacity, and we are trying to downsize what we each have to the minimum so we can learn how to live without excess.  We are also taking important steps at work to determine how we can support ourselves financially from not only a remote location, but from a constantly moving location. 

Our goal is to eventually start living mobily by taking trips for a couple months at a time.  Our first trip will start in November. We have a lot to do before then to prepare.  In the meantime, Scout and I also like to make the most of our time together and have some pretty exciting adventures right here in San Diego, or on little mini-trips (usually tacked on to business travel).  We are excited to share these adventures with you, and hope you enjoy reading about them.
