The Cost of Leaving Our Options Open
By Cherie Ve Ard On Feb 6, 2012 · 5 Comments
We don’t plan our travels much far in advance. We like to keep our lives open to embracing serendipity – when cool things emerge as potentials, we like having the flexibility to say ‘YES!’.
This agility has led to some amazing experiences.
However it does have a financial cost.
As we often don’t know where [...]
January Wrap-Up and What’s Ahead
By Cherie Ve Ard On Feb 2, 2012 · 17 Comments
Just a quick, rather disjointed, update.
We’re still in Florida, parked in Kissimmee. Our location is ideal – a gracious friend is letting us park on his amazing land that has full hook-ups. It is such a blessing to have a safe place to leave our home, and a place to retreat to. Without worrying [...]
Purge your Stuff, Shed the Anchors – Travel Full Time!
By Cherie Ve Ard On Jan 31, 2012 · 11 Comments
<— Read Chapter 2: Affording Full Time Travel
We’re conditioned in our society to acquire stuff. Our culture and economy often seems to revolve around this quest. And no matter how large a space we have, we can easily fill that space with stuff. It seems to be a universal law – the amount of [...]
Roadside America – Epic Artists
By Cherie Ve Ard On Jan 24, 2012 · 7 Comments
Over on the Escapee Forums, someone asked what quirky museums RVers have visited in their travels across the USA. In compiling my response, I realized we’ve started a bit of a video collection of some amazing inspired artists.
Join us for a little journey in reminiscing about some past adventures.

Four Years Shampoo Free
On Jan 19, 2012 By Cherie Ve Ard
I love the look on people’s faces when I tell them I’ve been no-poo for over 4 years now.
Once I get past the ‘ouch’ or ‘you should see a doctor about that’ or ‘add some fiber to your diet!’ comments – then I explain.
I haven’t used shampoo in over four years.
I think [...]

7 Months in a Bus
On Jan 16, 2012 By Cherie Ve Ard
It’s now been nearly 7 months since we purchased and moved into our vintage bus. We thought this might be a good time to answer some questions we keep getting, such as:
Do you like bus life? How much have you spent on your bus projects? Bus Life vs. Travel Trailer Life
First of all, [...]

Extreme Rough Break (why our posts may be infrequent)
On Jan 9, 2012 By Cherie Ve Ard
Following serendipity at every turn is an interesting game we’ve been playing for the past several years. It’s not about taking every opportunity that comes up, but rather creating a life that allows us to both be in tune with the possibilities, and being agile enough to follow the ones we choose.
Every so often [...]

Bringing in the New Year
On Jan 7, 2012 By Cherie Ve Ard
Last weekend we attended the Arcadia Bus Rally - one of the longest running bus rallies in the country, and certainly one of the largest on the east coast.
There were far more buses here than at the BCM Rally we attended back in October in Chattanooga, and much more variety. It was so [...]

Affording Full Time Travel
On Jan 2, 2012 By Cherie Ve Ard
<—- Read Chapter 1: Jobs, Careers and Income Sources for Travelers
Read Chapter 3: Purge your Stuff, Shed the Anchors —>
When you think of pursuing your dreams to ‘travel’ do you immediately imagine that the costs will be similar to what you might spend for a typical vacation or business trip?
When [...]

Live from the Arcadia Rally
On Dec 29, 2011 By Cherie Ve Ard
We arrived yesterday to the Arcadia Bus Rally 2012, and are parked awning-to-awning with our friends, Sean & Louise of Our Odyssey. There are many many buses here, and it’s awesome.
We just found out that the rally is being live streamed:
