Adventures & Stories Of Workampers Living the Dream
It’s been a full year since we drove away from our three story sticks and bricks home and moved our essential belongings, including our furry babies, into our 26 foot motorhome we lovingly refer to as Starbuck. We had officially moved into our RV on my husband’s 30th birthday, December 19th, 2014. We took our […]
In the heart of the copper-covered hills in Bisbee, Arizona, you’ll find a unique community. It’s full of artists and musicians, hippies and dreamers, homeless and the well-off alike. This wonderful mix of people live in a quirky place, with homes built into hillsides and businesses up and down stairs so prevalent there is an […]
Little did I know at the time I took off on my southward adventure in January 2016 that I would stumble upon my Workamping destination for my 2017 winter “home”. Since I was fairly new to the RVing lifestyle, I made a few mistakes regarding how to plan my camping destinations in Florida. I stayed […]

Although the chances for rain were slim today according to the weatherman, by noon it was damp and dreary and staring to drizzle. This was quite a shift from yesterday which was warm and beautiful – a “sit outside in shorts while reading day!” Rather than stay inside and succumb to the weather, we hit the […]
Travel for us is like an itch you’re not supposed to scratch…no, that makes it sound bad…it’s like putting cake in the fridge and telling us not to eat it, yeah …cake…

How did we learn about the position? We happened upon this position in a Workamper News Magazine. Workamper News www.workamper.com/ is a website devoted to helping full-time and seasonal RVers find employment in and around the country. Not only do they announce “help wanted” ads on a daily basis, but they have a magazine that […]
As soon as we mention The Sugar Beet Harvest and that it would be our first job as fulltime RVers we were kindly given opinions and advice on what to expect from people who…in reality did not even know what a sugar beet even looked like…by the time we got to Sidney, Montana we were pretty nervous and excited really having no idea what we had signed up for. Surprisingly, it was absolutely nothing like what those people told us, so just so more rumors don’t spread I will clarify some of the information we were given: Read more about Beet Harvest Adventure …
You drag yourself out of bed and get ready for work, the kids are still in bed or you help them get ready for school. Your spouse has worked the opposite shift and is preparing for bed. You talk to them for a half hour or forty-five minutes during this tumultuous part of your day. […]
YES! We did it! The house is empty, keys are turned over, and we’ve moved into the RV. Doug will officially retire in two short weeks!
The journey from 2400 sq feet to 379 sq feet can be summed up as “stuff, stuff and MORE stuff.” Once you get the stuff, you have to store the stuff, then you must insure the stuff, maintain the stuff, repair the stuff, clean the stuff, move the stuff…whew! Stuff = work. Read more about 2400 sq ft to 379 sq ft: The Process! …
