Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered about those recreational vehicles going down the highway? Would you ever want to live in one? Why would anyone ever want to live that way? This book answers the many questions that Barbara receives whenever someone finds out that she is traveling alone in an RV and is almost 70 years old. It covers how Barbara began, what she considered when buying an RV, the difference in the aspects of her life style and some of her experiences. She spends about three months in a location (usually a national site) working in exchange for her campsite. If you have ever considered living in an RV then this book will answer many questions. If you have no intention of ever living this way, maybe you will enjoy hearing why Barbara feels that it is a wonderful way to live, although maybe not your choice of a life style. After her divorce in the early 1980s, Barbara began extensive foreign and domestic travel. She has been to six continents and many, many countries. She has hiked and bicycled abroad as well as taken bus trips, riverboats trips and cruises. When Barbara was 65 years old she sold her house and almost all her belongings and began to live in a recreational vehicle. She was born in 1942 and feels that her early adult life was greatly affected by the norms of the 1950s. She was married at age eighteen and years later began college. Barbara has three children: David, born in 1965; Pamela, born in 1969; and Kimberly, born in 1970. After her children were in school she began her career in education. Barbara taught all grades (except kindergarten) in an elementary school, then all grades in a middle school, then worked as a middle school counselor, then finished her career as a high school counselor. Her marriage ended in 1984 and since then she has traveled extensively and lived in many states. Barbara believes that she is continuing to evolve into someone who accepts challenges.
