About

We're Joe and Kalyn! In 2019 we sold our sticks and bricks house, bought an RV, and said we'd try full-time travel for a year. As you can see, it stuck.

Video Description

We had no idea what to expect at the Alaska Canada border crossing, but it wasn’t this. Alaska Border Patrol thought we had something in our possession, which led to a stressful US border crossing experience!

We're Joe + Kalyn! As online entrepreneurs, we thought, "why not work from home... on the road"? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs! Follow our full-time RV Life journey as we build back our bank accounts in order to fund the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska. _We participate in several affiliate programs.
