No house. No property.
No storage, debt, or plan.
Just living in Beauty
for as long as we can.
The Dream
We travel full-time in Beauty, our 2001 30′ Airstream Excella.
3535 days ago we began our open-ended, location-independent retirement—our “retirement un-plan.”
The Life
Living in Beauty is our full-time Airstream travel blog—sharing life on the road, along with the tips, tools, and resources that make it work—plus campground reviews, our travel map and facts, gear we trust, and the quiet joys of long-term RV living.
The Prep
It took two years to divest what didn’t serve this new life—selling our homes and over forty years of accumulated possessions—so we could be LIBerated to enjoy our senior years without the burden of property, maintenance, and debt.
We drive the back roads—shunning fast food, convenience stores, and reservations.
We love wilderness camping, urban camping, suburban camping, luxury camping, and even appreciate a good overnighter at Cracker Barrel, Walmart, or Harvest Hosts.
We brake for craft breweries, gardens, and farmer’s markets.
We’re shamelessly in love with travel and the simple life—but honest to a fault.
Read more about us—or explore where we’ve been and what it takes to live this way.
The Documentary
Best Buy produced a two-minute documentary about the LIB (Living in Beauty) 4-3-2 travel philosophy.
