Hannah’s tips on RVing
- Once you find your community on the road, you never have to be lonely. Go to Xscapers Convergences and other meetups!
- It’s easy to put business on the back burner when you’re traveling. All you want to do is explore! You want to go play, but you have to find that balance. You need to be a responsible adult and get work done to be able to afford the travel lifestyle.
- People in the community (and in the world in general) can be very willing to help you, especially as a solo traveler.
- You create such deep friendships while traveling. You automatically have some values in common with other full-time travelers.
- Plan for breakdowns with your RV. They will happen! There are logistics problems everywhere. You need to problem-solve on the road and set aside money for repairs and gas.
