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.
3636 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 stories from life on the road, along with practical tips, tools, and resources, including campground reviews, our Travel Map & Facts, gear we trust, and the everyday 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 letting go of 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 and reservations. We call it No Fake Deadlines.
We love every style of camping, from remote wilderness to luxury RV resorts, 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.

The Documentary
Our 4-3-2 travel philosophy inspired Best Buy to produce a two-minute documentary.
