The most lovely thing about this tour was the couple! What a sweet relationship they have. His sense of humor is adorable and her appreciation that he created the lifestyle she wanted is so apparent. The home is so comfortable and all of the art work elevates their interior to a bit of a museum. Thanks for such a great video, as always!

@silby77 Год назад

When he said she sat on a log on the beach and started crying she needed to be there and wanted to travel full time, I felt that. Every time my family camps together or travels I break down on the last day... yearning to be traveling forever and dreading to go back home. My husband and daughter also love the idea (traveling full time and living out of a bus or van full time has been a dream of mine for over 20 years so I am very lucky to have a family on board with me) We now have a three year plan to buy, convert, and move into a bus and I am excited to finally have that goal!!
