Expectations Vs Reality

Women relaxing by the beach in lounge chairs, showing perfectly pedicured toes with a splotch of sand scattered on their feet, tanned legs as their bodies face the ocean, pretty drinks poised for consumption. A young lady sitting in her van with a thoughtful expression on her face as she looks out of her wide opened doors, an expanse of majestic mountains in the foreground, a coffee mug in her hand as she is ready to take a sip of the hot, steaming joe. Is this what fulltime rving is REALLY like? Find out as I share with you what this lifestyle is REALLY about!

Join me on this whimsy journey into the many delights nature can offer us!
