Rootless Living RLM 008 Mar/Apr 2021

When we started the magazine in January of 2020 we had themes for each issue, which really helped when launching a brand-new magazine. It defined for our readers what to expect and helped direct our contributors in their writing. For the past few issues, however, we started to let the content lead the way. And that is how the issue you now hold in your hands came to be “The Adventure Issue”. If you are thinking about becoming a digital nomad, or already are one, you are setting yourself up for the adventure of a lifetime. The adventure of finding or creating a way to earn money while you travel, then buying and planning your transportation. And, of course, the adventures in exploring new places, meeting new people, and enjoying your life…

In nearly three years of living and traveling full-time in our self-converted skoolie, my boyfriend Aaron and I have learned quite a few ways to save money while still maintaining a standard of living (and cleanliness) that allows us to occasionally enter mainstream society without raising eyebrows. Driven by a desire to ditch our 9-5s and the mountain of bills that comes with living in a trendy Seattle neighborhood, we bought a school bus in 2017, converted it over the next eight months, hit the road in April 2018, and haven’t looked back since. Here are our top tips for saving money on the road: TIP 1 Don’t pay for camping. Especially in the western half of the country. There is a wealth of free camping locations ranging from empty…

We are the Gossetts. My husband Daniel and I, along with our daughter Lucy, live in a 2020 Grand Design Solitude 377MBS fifth wheel with our two dogs, George and Huck. We have painted, renovated, and fully settled into our new camper, but our RV story didn’t start with this fifth wheel — it started with another one back in 2018. My husband plays professional baseball and at the beginning of our baseball journey, we found ourselves traveling … A LOT. After purchasing our first home, we split our time between our 3 bed/2 bath house in our hometown of Lyman, South Carolina and our Grand Design 297RSTS travel trailer in Arizona during spring training. Add in our time in Nashville with the Oakland A’s Triple A team, and you…

We started discussing full-time travel in 2016 since Jerry worked remotely as an actuary for a health insurance company. We moved out of our house, turned it into a rental property and moved into an apartment to become more flexible as we prepared for a lifestyle change. We weren’t exactly sure what kind of travel we were planning for, but we knew we were excited to start our journey. We first had the idea of extended travel in Europe but soon realized that would be way too difficult with our senior-aged dog. We then ventured down the path of traveling city to city and renting apartments on a short-term lease but didn’t like the idea of living out of our suitcases. At one point we even tossed around living on…
