• Title: The RV Work Life Balance Origin Story!

EPISODE SUMMARY:

“This was not a bucket list item. This was not like, ‘Hey, one day we're going to do this.’ Nope. During the [pandemic], people made decisions that were not part of their normal plan, and this was ours. It changed the trajectory of our lives…”  

Sherri & Russ launch the RV Work Life Balance Podcast with their RV Origin Story: How a travel writer and tech professional transformed from urban high-rise condo dwellers in downtown Seattle, to full time RV Nomads in a 40-foot motorhome, living, working, and traveling all over the USA, while keeping Russ’s traditional “office” job.

Buckle up as we recount our incredible adventure from RV beginners to part-time amateurs on short-term getaways, to full-time, seasoned RV travelers, three years later, launching a podcast to share with you all the secrets and possibilities of RV Work Life Balance.

Come travel with us! Feel the freedom, enjoy the ongoing adventure and perhaps ignite a spark for your own journey on the open road…

  Welcome back to the podcast.
  Hello, hello, cheers, it's always a good way to start.
  Yeah, all right.
  So I'm going to ask you, like I like to do, where are we today?
  
  Sherri (00:38):
  Today we are at our home membership park or RV resort in Blaine, washington.
  for a month or so We're right up on the Canadian border.
  
  Russ (00:53):
  Yeah, near BC Very nice, And it's actually been beautiful up here.
  That's gorgeous, which is funny, because last season, when we rolled in, it was not beautiful, it was very wet.
  
  Sherri (01:05):
  We decided that June was way too early to be here.
  
  Russ (01:09):
  But it just worked out this year. 00:01:11.325 --> 00:01:19.466 Russ
