PEOPLE THINK WE'RE CRAZY!

Less than one month ago, we signed our digital signature on a real estate contract accepting the offer on the sale of our log home. The front of our house faces the glory of the Smoky Mountains, a constant reminder there’s so much more to see in this world. Several months ago, when life started to return to normal after the peak of the pandemic, we realized our daily responsibilities were getting in the way of our desire for awesome adventures.

This is why we are selling our house, buying a camper, and traveling for a year.

We will be vlogging this experience, including selling most of what we own in exchange for paying off our debt and traveling to new places all over the country and the world.

This process of selling what we own reminds us of George Carlin’s comedy act on “Stuff”. He says “all your house is, is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it.” You bring your stuff with you in a suitcase when you go away (reducing your things), then you take a shorter overnight trip, while on vacation, and reduce your “stuff” even more. This stuff is on our minds like a weighted burden. Is the house locked? Did I leave a window open? Will the dog eat the legs of the chairs or scratch the finish off the floors! I’ve heard people say they have more stress when they get rich due to a fear of losing everything they own.

We have come close several times in our lives to living with less but then, slowly over time, the American Dream sucks us back into a lifestyle that doesn’t suit our personalities. We’ve discovered there's more freedom in owning less, and more excitement in buying experiences. We refuse to get sucked back in this time!

Join us as we sort through all of the “stuff” we’ve collected over the years, and make difficult decisions about what to bring with us in our small camper, what to store in a 5 x 10-foot storage unit, and what to sell or give away.
