Working on the Road- Really?

 Adventuring across America is also working across America for T. 

When we decided to give this life on the road a try, we had to think through everything, including working. Terrell works virtually and we've traveled in the past to Tennessee, Washington and California while he worked, so we knew theoretically this was possible. Now how to make it a reality.

We chose a 5th wheel with a garage so he had a designated workspace and then he could live daily life with me on the other side of that door. He researched desk options. I asked the RV sites on Facebook to share their desk set up and how they travel. Which by the way, there are some great people on Facebook RV sites more than willing to help! After pondering and thinking for a bit, he bought a sit/stand desk with two smaller monitors. It's been great! He brought his chair from his home office, some office supplies, various cords and a trash can. Ta Da! We bought Starlink for internet too. In MOST places it's worked great. The place we're at currently in Cannon Beach is super treed so he had to get creative with where to put the Starlink on the roof this time. It's not an amazing connection but this is the only time so far we've ran into connectivity issues. And from what we have seen with our own phones walking around town, Cannon Beach has connection issues. Luckily this resort has wifi too. 

This man I am married to is such a hard worker. He doesn't complain. He gets up, gets his coffee and goes to work. He can step outside if he wants to take calls, he can stand up to work, he can sit down and turn around to look out the other windows, and he can even wave at me through the glass door. 😎 I am thankful for his FANTABULUS job and the opportunity to do this on the road.

The curtains in the picture are for privacy as well as heat protection. Some places we've stayed have been so hot, these have been life savers. He does have his own AC if he needs it. Behind the curtains is a porch. Another place he could take his desk if he chose. 

So when we break down camp to travel, what does that look like?  The garage turns into storage for our bikes, camp chairs, his work station and anything else we need to store. T takes the monitors down and we keep those safe on top of our bed wrapped in a blanket. He ties down the desk to the wall and tucks his laptop in his backpack. Once we arrive, he sets it all up again!  Like I said, he's a hard worker! 

Our adventure would not be possible if it wasn't for Terrell's job. Quite honestly, it is an amazing company to work for and has been a huge blessing to us. We are grateful.

So there you have it! Working on the road. 

I love this man of mine. 💖

Thanks for listening,
