Temporary Locals + RVers

The seasons change- so do you. We shouldn’t have to stay in one place all year long. We should be able to grow in every part of our lives when it comes to our skills. Imagine being able to apply for multiple positions, not just one. We as a society like to perfect our jobs and careers, but leave no room to expand. Live, grow, and see the world at the same time. Imagine picking a direction and going. This life isn’t far-fetched, and it can be attainable. There is hard work to be done before, of course, but it isn’t anything that is impossible. So if this life is for you, then grab a hold of it, and start planning. You can definitely do it!

How many of us have said, “man I wish I can just travel and work?” Well…just get up and go! There are jobs all over that’ll allow you to gain new skills, make new friends and travel anywhere and everywhere. We work any odd jobs needed at national parks, state parks, ranches, farms, and/or tourist spots! We could be doing anything from housekeeping, dishwashing, cooking, park hosting, herding cattle, and baling hay. It is limitless when it comes to jobs throughout the seasons!

Spring, summer, fall and winter!

This is our way of living!

WORKAMPING

Adventurers wandering the world in a recreational home on wheels and exchanging work for a site and a paycheck. Each job varies and not all pay the same.

SEASONAL WORK OR YEAR-ROUND

Resorts & destination places that hire workers just for the season, summer & winter being the most popular. You can commit for 3 to 6 months, or even year-round. These employers usually provide employee housing.

CHEAP TRAVEL

Is this even real? Yes! There are ways around it, but you must be consistent and do your research. Frequent flyer miles and referrals to lodging companies pay off in the end.

LIVING INTENTIONALLY

5, 10, 20 years from now we want to be able to say, WE chose this life. Every bump in the road, mountains we climbed, and river we swam to get to our destination. WE CHOSE TO DO IT.

So why do we live this way?

Everyone always says they want a simple, happy life, but what does “simple” really mean to you? We all live so many different kinds of lives that it’s difficult to confine simplicity to one definition. We all know how we want to live, but only a small number of us truly live it that way. For us, working in the corporate world always seemed like a chaotic rush with a lot of time wasted, not on moments or people, but just in general. Being stuck in traffic was a major waste of time! Working Monday through Friday and living for the weekend was another. Never enough time with one another. We live this lifestyle for the time we get. We have been able to spend every meal and night together. No longer pulled apart by work and traffic. We decided to live and live fully!

We figure out which direction we want to go, and go. Along that route, we figure out what could we possibly do to become temporary locals. We are no longer stuck to the commitment of a clock. We no longer have to wait for the weekend or PTO. We go in the direction we feel like flying.

37% of Americans have never left their hometown. We aren’t opposed to that, but we do believe that travel and adventure should be a part of life. This world is so big, and life so short. Many aren’t introduced to travel as kids or teens. There is something about traveling that teaches you things you could never learn in a classroom or by any human being.

There is no greater feeling than getting lost and finding hidden gems. Sometimes in order to find yourself you must get lost. Life isn’t all about directions and instructions. Life must be lived, learned, and loved. So remember, it’s ok to take the road unknown, the dirt road, and go in the opposite direction.

Hopefully, you’ll be working odd jobs on your next adventure and enjoying every minute of it!
