Joe Hendricks is a landscape photographer, so the RV lifestyle suits him perfectly. While traveling the past two years, Joe saw his wife and son really come alive. They bonded as a family and enjoyed meeting many other people on their adventures. He says that traveling has made them all much more outgoing.
After a long and winding road to getting out there in a brand new Airstream, Joe and his family have since moved back into a traditional home—but not for good. Joe sat with us to talk about photography, traveling with loved ones, bringing important life lessons back into the household, and why traveling will always be part of his life.
You can keep up with Joe and his photography via his website, Instagram, or listen to his podcast, The Basics of Photography.
