Bob Wells was tired of living the rat race and a life filled with hyper-consumerism–always buying things looking for contentment, but never finding it. Instead, he returned to the original, truly human roots of tribal nomadism. He adopted a life of travel and adventure by living in a vehicle like a car, van or RV, and living a life of simplicity and minimalism. He has been doing this for over 14 years and thrives on the freedom and peace that it brings him.

Have a look at his incredible website to be intrigued and inspired to follow your dreams and take steps towards joining the nomadic tribe! This link will take you to his post on Campsites in the USA…

Don and Joyce are mobility and health challenged partners living with Jummah (kitty) and Squeedle (chiweenie) in a 23′ travel trailer towed with a retired Uhaul box truck.

They believe that being disabled and living on a low income shouldn’t mean you can’t have fun, be happy and enjoy nature. Their goal is to provide ADA reviews of all the free or low-cost places they’re able to visit. If they can go there, so can you!

A quirky family of four (two humans, two dogs) that love traveling, new experiences, exploring the outdoors, and finding the joy in life. They don’t love being tied down or squeezed into “little boxes” – which is why they decided to sell everything they owned, move into a van, and adventure full time since April 2017. In that time, they’ve learned a thing or two about building vans and living in them. Gnomad Home has grown into a top resource for van builders everywhere. 

Their guides have helped many people break out of their comfort zones and embark on their own vanlife journeys – here is one about parks and campgrounds

In 2005, Howard & Linda Payne quit their corporate jobs, sold their house at age 41, and started a life on the road in an RV for an indefinite period, as they felt there was more to life than what traditional society expected.  They started RV-Dreams.com, where Howard took the mounds of research he’d done and compiled it into one place for others considering full-time RVing.  They opened up their lives and posted their journey, their triumphs and mistakes, and their financial information for a more complete, honest look at full-time RVing. 

Howard and Linda also worked a variety of jobs on the road to support their lifestyle.  Their diversity of experiences, age, and background combine to create an interesting perspective on RV living. Enjoy this fantastic guide to Parks and Campgrounds

Katie Larsen, is a 26 year old nomad whose passion for the outdoors has grown immensely over the years, making stationary life feel just about impossible. She finds that her quality of life and overall attitude is best when she has fresh air in her lungs and dirt between her toes. Living on the road has opened the realm of remote work, something that she has absolutely fallen in love with. She is a strong believer in living balanced and this lifestyle allows her to achieve just that. 

This post that she wrote is all about 76 places to visit by van and includes many National Parks… 

Aaron, Lauren and their two children are on a quest to simplify and live larger with less. By getting rid of most of their possessions they hit the reset button on their commitments, by hitting the road with an RV and a truck full-time. They have been able to focus more on their kids, and making life-long memories with each other.

At the 6 month mark of being on the road, they announced that their initial one year plan had been extended. Until when? Who knows. They’re loving this lifestyle way too much to put an end date on it. There is way too much to see to rush through the USA for a year. They are now just living life one day at a time and having a blast seeing new opportunities come up and meeting new people all the time!
