See life from new perspectives with follow your detour

Dan and Lindsay McKenzie were on their way to living the “American Dream”, with the dream house, cars, and jobs, when they got bad news. Instead of letting it rule them, they decided to take a detour and choose to look at life from a new perspective. Now, they’re following their detour (and documenting every step via their blog Follow Your Detour), and encouraging others to hit the road as well. They talk with us about what led them to find their own path, helping others get out of debt, and what the future looks like for Follow Your Detour.

Advice from Dan and Lindsay

  • There will always be detours in life. Working through struggles can be some of the best opportunities for growth. It’s all about your perspective.
  • Once you get your fears out of the way, you’ll be moving towards your dreams.
  • When you transition to RV life, try to use your money to buy experiences more than things.
  • It is so easy to connect with people online and in person in the RV community. Everyone is looking to belong and be a part of something. You’ll get invited to a lot of campfires!
  • Make lemonade out of life’s lemons.
