jamiecattanach Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hey all! Just wanted to wave hi and introduce myself to the community -- not an official Escapee yet, but will be soon. I bought a Casita (new off the lot -- the used ones were so close in price anyway, I couldn't resist) and head out to Texas to pick it up at the end of July. Then: the road! I'm a full-time freelance writer and have been living a remote work/travel-focused lifestyle for a while now, though I did spend a full year here in Santa Fe. I felt like I needed a break and the chance to settle somewhere that felt like my own for a while. I'd basically been doing month-by-month vacation rentals/Airbnb, so I'm looking forward to the travel trailer life -- seems like the perfect combination of mobility and having my own private space! I'm excited to find community here amongst other itchy-footed people; I've always had trouble staying in one place. First place I'm headed after Texas is Florida to set up domicile (I have family there), so if you're in the St. Augustine area in late July/early August, say hello!

Captain Happy Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 So I'm not the only crazy lunitick that's running around in a little Casita Trailer. I started out in a 20 foot Motor Home, but downsized 2 year ago. to a Tacoma/ Casita setup. These are great little trailers for traveling around in, and if your Rving solo there great too.

fpmtngal Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Those are really cool trailers, I’ve met a couple of solos who are full-timing in them. Have a great time and safe travels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiecattanach Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks for the warm welcomes, all! I've actually lived in an RV before -- but it was a 40 foot diesel pusher that hadn't been moved from my parents backyard in over a decade. I certainly wouldn't want to drive something like that, and I've always lived in small spaces... plus I wanted something I could actually afford 🙃. Took a lot of inspiration from Becky of Interstellar Orchard, also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
