This is our maiden podcast and we’ll spend some time for you to get to know us a bit better. We’ll tell you why we chose to live in a 389 square foot space and build a life around travel. We’ll share our adventures, any tips we’ve learned along the way, and basically, bring you into our lifestyle.

We met in 2005 at The Lucky 7 where a mutual friend introduced us in a round about way. A few months later, we decided to take our first trip together to the Memphis in May music festival. That’s when we realized that we love to travel together.
In 2008, a job opportunity took us to Florida. Then in 2010, we took the plunge and got married. It’s funny how we announced it to our friends and much of our family.
By 2011, the company that took us to Florida in the first place was going to close. We were about to become empty nesters as our daughter was graduating high school and moving back to Missouri for college. It was going to be just the two of us. Well, not exactly just the two of us. Did we forget to mention that we are the proud parents of three dachshunds?
We were ready for a change. We wanted to be able to work from anywhere and not be tied to one place. So we had one massive garage sale and downsized from 1500 sq ft to 389 sq ft.
We’ve been living in our RV full-time since 2011. We are creating our lifestyle around travel and building our business to allow us to work from anywhere. We certainly don’t want to look back and wish we would have seen and done the things we are doing. We are living the Been There Doing That lifestyle.
