Hi,
For years, I looked with envy at the solo female traveler who had the courage to GO (I was an early fan of enigmatic nomadic and, later, CRVL).
I just had my 50th birthday. I simply cannot go on being trapped in the culture of MORE and the demands of a corporate job. My daughter passed away suddenly a few weeks ago; Living on the road is something that I NEED to do to save my soul. I spent years climbing the ladder and, in the end, it was all so meaningless. I have no one to leave my "things" to now.
I am in the process of selling/donating my possessions in preparation for a life on the road. I have money to sustain me for years if I live simply (monthly expenses averaging $800-1K). I also have the ability to make money working remotely in my field on a consultant basis if unexpected expenses arise. I will be starting in SUV that I own (no payment). I want the ability to park anywhere. And a travel trailer is not something I want to deal with right now. Whatever I decide on long-term, it will be called Rabbit ... for my daughter. Her name was Jessica. She was a beautiful redhead. (i attached our pic together)
Please share resources and words of encouragement. My friends and family think I am losing it. In reality, I am getting closer to the life I have truly always wanted. I want to see you all at Quartzsite!
