They chose the RV option.Īfter having a child, Amanda says she felt societal pressure to live the conventional way. They thought about an international move, or selling their home and living in an RV – a lifestyle that would allow them to travel, experience new adventures and spend as much time as possible outside. After living for 12 years on Vancouver Island, the longest they have lived in one place, they felt “stuck” and knew that something had to change. Both grew up living overseas and often moved around. Jeff is a stay-at-home dad and does all the maintenance work on the RV, while Amanda works remotely for a non-profit educational organization. Their son doesn’t just know the provinces on a map he has experienced every one of them. Last spring, they travelled across Canada and stayed all summer in Prince Edward Island they plan on heading east again this summer as soon as school is out. They have enjoyed lots of travelling, through Washington, Oregon, California and twice to Arizona. Both parks have ocean access, so they can enjoy lovely views and beach walks without having to shoulder a huge mortgage or high property taxes. During the winter, they stay at an RV park in Saanich or the Metchosin area where their son goes to school. This is the dream that Amanda, Jeff and their nine-year-old son have made real, and they are happy to say that the RV lifestyle suits them just fine. You will be on the road discovering beautiful places and experiencing memorable adventures anywhere and everywhere! And then … the adventure will begin – living a new life, one without a lawn, a mortgage or fixed destinations – a life free of routine. In the morning, you will wake up, pack last-minute things, lock the door and shepherd the kids into your recreational vehicle (RV). Tonight is the last night you will sleep in your cozy warm bed, safe from the elements, in the house you love in your oh-so-familiar neighbourhood. This does not mean they will not be able to work together in the future.By Janice Henshaw | photos by Amanda Cribdon Photography – **TSD Logistics no longer has a contract with Pilot/Flying J.
