Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They sold their house and everything in it to move into a truck camper. And they were not small people. Laura began her memoir in the summer of 1995, when she walked into a summer party and met the love of her life, Sasha. Their whirlwind courtship started them on an adventurous journey. Along the way, Laura created six careers and used frugalness and thrift to find financial freedom while battling anxiety. They looked at what they wanted before marriage and chose a path. That meant pooling their finances, paying off debt, and ultimately deciding to work half the year while traveling in a recreational vehicle (RV). There were a few distress signals along the way. The self-doubt and anxiety of job jumping as an environmental geologist, computer trainer, and small business owner gave Laura insomnia. Yet those experiences allowed her to follow her dream job: to work as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service. When she retired from the rat race of full-time work, she was 38. They lived in the truck camper of 24 square feet before the season of the bugs forced a change of RV. With a new-to-them fifth-wheel toyhauler, they found a togetherness few married couples find. There were still bumps in the road, no matter who was driving. So, Laura created a website and blogged about their travels, finances, and full-time living in an RV: Laura & Sasha's Excellent Adventure. It was her way of being creative in a small space. It allowed friends and family to see the beauty of national parks and remote nature areas few saw. This memoir presents their adventures to their twentieth wedding anniversary. Come along for the ride and learn how to do this lifestyle too.
