Hello guys and welcome to another studio session with Ben and Rebecca of His and
Hers Vogs! And today is a happy warm fuzzy video about full-time RV life.
We've spent pretty much the past two years driving around North America in
our motorhome and.... It's taught us a lot! And there's a lot of things I think you
really would find valuable. It's surprising the little things that happen
that nobody tells you about. You don't realize how it's gonna change you. Your
perception of the world, the way that you do things and it's, it's ,there's a really
special part to RVing and the person you become as you spend more time doing it.
Number one: Your travel style is going to change!....Eventually you're gonna get to
the point where you don't have to go to the place, really popular places at the same
time as everybody else. You don't have to go on the weekends, you don't have to go
on spring break or Christmas break. You can go in the off season! And furthermore
if you like someplace once you get there you can stay as long as you want! Or if
you hate it, you can leave! Eventually you realize that the only thing determining
how long you can stay, where you can go, is your wants and desires! And this is
something that you really start to learn over time. It's not something that's
instantaneous and you fight it for a while. But eventually it starts to become
this place of comfort. Like "We really like it here! Let's just stay another 4
nights instead of"..... But there are times that we only paid for five days. So what? Pay for
five more..... Number two: Occasionally you're gonna be in the right place at the right
time or you're just gonna have the option of setting it up that way! I'm
talking about like this past summer, the Eclipse. It made that big path across the
country and a lot of people that were full timers were able to line themselves
up perfectly in areas that were not super crowded. Also, recently we're in the
right place at the right time for a rocket launch. A
Space X rocket launch! Mind-blowing experience and definitely needs to be
added to your bucket list! Also for example, Fall Foliage in the Northeast
think about that one! And last winter in our springtime because there's so much
rain, there was a super bloom of wild flowers throughout the California desert.
Breathtaking beauty!....And unless you're out there you're not necessarily gonna
know that you are in the right place at the right time!.... Number three: You are
going to become a minimalist! That's right! You're gonna look back at all of
the things you had when you had a house and you're gonna be like: "Why did we have
all that stuff?" It's something that we hear from everybody who starts full
timing. They realize that things don't make you happy. Experiences and being
able to live life on your terms makes you happy!....Okay! Number Four: You are gonna
become a professional at conserving your resources. Stuff like water, electricity,
sewer, fuel.... Those are all commodities in the RV life and you hear about these
places that are going through droughts and they're on water restrictions.... But
you know what! If you lived in an RV and you've done a lot of boondocking piece
of cake! It would blow your mind and to look from day one to like day 200 on
your conservation skills! ...Number Five: You're gonna meet people! Not just people
but great people! And in places you never expected them to be..... Tom and Anita
are our friends from Europe that we met down in Mexico of all places. Just great
people and the universe puts these people in your life for a reason. And
then you circle back and see each other again later.....Yeah! It's never goodbye... No!....
And you always learn something from each other.....Moving right along.
Number Six: Hot springs! You are gonna fall in love with them! Hands down! My
favorite hot springs would have to be the ones off of 395 by Mammoth in
California's Eastern Sierra. You'll find pockets of geothermal activity up by
Yellowstone, Montana, there's places in New Mexico. It's also great when you can
enjoy the hot springs in the winter months because let's face it! Who
wants to go sit in 104 degree pool when it's 98 degrees out? So that's where the
benefit of a full-time RVing comes in. Number Seven: Hidden Gems. Kind of playing off of the
hot springs thing. You are going to find hidden gems all along the way. Whether
it's a place you didn't know about or a place you didn't know how much you're
going to love. Examples for us are places like Senator Wash over on the California
Arizona border, Palo Verde along the Colorado river,
Senator Washes to but different place. Beaver Dick up in Idaho, amazing
campground! It was really cheap. It was right on this little stream that we
could kayak in. We were maybe one of three people there. So it was peaceful
beautiful, perfect time of year to be there, we had so much fun.... And we had no
idea a place called Beaver Dick. We were gonna like so much.... Number 9: Personal
Development! I'm not talking about waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror
and saying "Hi I'm a winner!" I'm talking real world stuff here! Knowing that you
can jump in your RV, head out to the middle of the desert and
go camping for a week and be totally fine!
You're also gonna realize stuff is gonna break and you can have the confidence to
know that you can fix pretty much whatever gets thrown your way!
Tremendous boost for the self esteem. Number 9: You're gonna learn to go
with the flow! Things are not gonna go the way you expect. They're not gonna go
the way you planned. And you're gonna realize... It's not
the end of the world! Usually things end up working out just fine and sometimes
even better than you expected. You just have to take it as it comes,
learn to handle it with grace and understand that life is fluid. Whatever
happens, wherever you end up, that's where you're meant to be right then and there!
Last but not Least.... Number 10: You're gonna broaden your travel horizons! After
doing a fair amount of travel in the continental United States.... You may get
the urge to up the ante a little. And I'm talking we have a border to the North of
us and to the South. Both are great cultural destinations! We
have yet to explore the east coast of Canada and get into that French
influence. We love all of our travels into Mexico!
More specifically Baja. That is an amazing playground in the winter months.
Fabulous places to dip your toes and learn how to travel internationally.
Exactly!.... And from there, the world may just open itself up to you. Which is the
best part about RVing. The travel kind of, you know, the way, or the reason
why we are RV is..... It's a way of feeding our travel bug on a daily basis....It is!... You get
a little bit every day.... And yeah! Right now we're jones for travel.
Yeah! We're taking time to rest and recoup.But we are getting at it again guys! And we are gonna scratch it really soon! Well I hope you feel all warm and cosy now that you've heard our top 10
amazing things they don't tell you about RVing.... I know I'm gonna sleep better
tonight just knowing all these facts!... Well that's good.... Alright guys! If you
haven't already mashed down that SUBSCRIBE button because we have more
travel and adventure heading your way! But... That's a wrap! We got another one in
the can.
I can't believe I wore makeup for this video and you couldn't bother to put on
a pair of pants....Hey hey!
