I've held an 8-4 developer job the last 3 years and hit up 36 different states. Right now I'm chilling at a most peaceful National Forest Campground in eastern Kentucky. http://www.watsonswander.com/assets/2015/10/IMG_6288.jpg http://www.watsonswander.com/assets/2015/10/IMG_6288.jpg

Did you save to make the trip or are you still working during (or both)? Were you an RVer before hand? Are you doing it alone? So many questions, I always thought this was an interesting avenue to take when considering "working remotely".

  Still working and saving a good amount of $$. A developer job that likes me around during normal business hours. So it is a pretty normal existence in that respect. Just a tent camper and when we left I had never towed anything before. We were prepared and knew what to expect so had no real surprises. Not alone. I'm married. She does a mix of writing and editing and most of the day to day logistics.

    I'm probably younger than you and not married so this might be a silly question, but do you still have a social life with moving so much? Also the Airstream looks so cool, like your trailing a space ship from 1955.

      Way more of a social life then I originally thought I would have. There is a pretty good sized community of likeminded folks living the same way. We seek each other out via blogs, instagram and facebook and hang out constantly. For new years there will be a gathering of 100 or more out in the CA desert.

I almost did something like that. In the end, though, the other company offered just too much money.
