just get out there spend time with your family
...Music playing...
we wanted to take a few minutes to just introduce ourselves to you and let you know a little bit about what you
can expect to find on our Channel I'm Ben and I am Charity and we are the
Grateful Glamper family. We decided to call ourselves "Grateful Glamper" just
because I am done with traditional camping
I "Glamp" so what you see behind us is our diesel pusher Motorhome and this is how we Glamp. The other pieces we
are just truly grateful for all that we have been blessed with we've been
blessed with the ability to be able to create an income that we can do from any
place as long as we have a internet connection which we have a portable
Wi-Fi that we bring along everywhere so that means that we have a portable
internet connection at all times we sell physical products on Amazon and so
basically the flexibility of being as long as you have a laptop and a Wi-Fi
connection we can actually ship goods to Amazon and it really allows us time
and location freedom and we also have a digital marketing company called
Techknow where we build and manage websites for other businesses and we'll
put the links to our Amazon brands in the description below and we'll also put
a link to our digital marketing company techknow in the description below as well
if you just want to check out more about what we do and then also about the
products that we sell on Amazon. The other reason that we wanted to start
this channel and wanted to just really kind of just put ourselves out there in
the YouTube world so to speak is we wanted to just be able to check in with
you guys from time to time to keep you updated on what it is that we're doing
but also just to be able to share with you that our family is far from perfect
we've had so many people that have said to us you know I would love to do what
you guys do but I don't think I could be cooped up with my
family inside of an RV for you know days and days on and let alone months on end
and we are not perfect you will see in our videos we edit a lot but we don't
always edit out those moments where life just happened because we want you to
know that we're not perfect that things happen on the road but really what our
goal is and what we're striving for is how do we maintain connection with each
other, how do we maintain connection with our family in the middle of those things
that are happening that are going on and then even when we blow it because we
still blow it yes but even when we do blow it how is it that we handle those
times that we blow it and what do we do to repair any connections that maybe we
have broken just because of our response to a particular given situation and I
would say that putting your family in an RV
it's just inviting more of those types of situations this way to get closer so
if you really are ready to find out some of those nitty-gritty things on the
inside of yourself or your kids or your spouse each other and just go on the
road and you will have an opportunity to get to know everybody on a more intimate
level sometimes good sometimes not so good but again I feel like our goal is
when we do blow it um or even just when we you know have those opportunities use
those opportunities at a learning opportunity on how can we relate to one
another with honor with respect and then we don't do it with honor and respect
how do we repair those broken connections
so in all of our videos you're going to see you know times where things don't
go right and hopefully you guys will just be able to learn a little bit with
us along the way in how it is that we just move forward as a family unit and
honestly we're loving this we're having a lot of fun so far and we've seen a lot
of things and we're creating a lot of memories with their kiddos and they're
gonna remember this forever really we wanted to do it now and while we're
younger and we're in good shape and round is a shape, she keeps telling
ourselves that round is a shape so might as well do it now instead of just when
we're older and have a hard time getting around now is the best time to get out
there with your family in an RV and we're loving it I don't think we would
be doing anything else and you know there's a lot of research that we've
done prior to kind of making this move of pseudo
I call it pseudo full-time rving because um we don't full full time in
the sense that we don't live in our RV year-round we just live in our RV full
time in the summer our kids go to a private school so they have to be in
schools during the normal school year they're also involved in extracurricular
activities our daughter that's competitive cheer so there's a lot of
commitments that do require us to have a home base but at least for now our
commitments are such that for the summer we can be full-time so that's what we're
doing and you know we don't know when that might change for us so we
definitely want to take advantage of that now another thing that I think that
I would say is that if you're considering even just being kind of more
of that weekend warrior or you are considering RV life or just those
weekend camping trips or maybe you want to do you know two weeks that are out of
the year or just however it is that you want to get into rv living and rv
life especially if you have children it is a great great time in you can
always start small we know so many friends that have purchased some things
that's just a small camper or even a pop-up or some things that they can
start with now and then you just build as you go the Rig you see behind us here
was not our first rig this is our second rig and we learned a lot in our first
rig about what we needed for full-time living in the kind of space that we
wanted and some of the things that for us we're just really like sort of
must-haves since we were living in it for three months out of the year but
always you can always start somewhere so start small and even if it's not an RV
and you want to just pitch the tent just get out there spend time with your
family there is nothing more precious on this earth than your family and that
those that are around you and nobody ever gotten to the end of their life
nobody has ever been diagnosed with the terminal illness and looked back and
said I wish I would have spent more time at the office I wish I would have worked
harder I wish I would have you know made more money everybody always looks back
and those times are the times that were spent together with family with your
spouse with your children and so however it is that you can make that happen go
make that happen we love being in an RV and I know so
many other thousands of families are making that same thing and so we would
just encourage you whatever you do start now however you need to start just get
