Russ & Betsy Gibbons.jpg

We are Russ & Betsy a travel-loving couple who decided to hit the road as full-time RVers in May 2016. As we explore the country, we hope to demonstrate that you don’t have to be rich & retired to live a life with a serious case of wanderlust. We share our journey in hope to inspire others to follow their dreams & create their own adventures.
