I see a lot of post of people being scared to go out on their own.
It’s an exciting idea to go across country but as a solo traveler for 3 years and now an RV Tech, let me tell you that BABY STEPS is your absolute friend.
Find a state park nearby and go for a weekend. Then find a national park or location you would like to see about 4 to 8 hours away and stay for a week. Boondock alone 1 night on free land in the absolute pitch black darkness with nothing but the sound of the wind and coyotes. Do it bite-sized chunks.
Here’s why…if you can drive the camper 2 hours you can drive it 4. If you can stay 1 night in the absolute solitude of boondocking then you can do it 2 nights… and may find that you really really love it. If you can stay a weekend somewhere you can stay a week. If you can drive the highway, then you can drive the interstate. All of these scenarios allow you to practice backing in.
There is an absolute peace and freedom on the other side of that fear… I swear to you.
- The ability to change your mind.
- Wake up whenever you want.
- Go where you want.
- Stay on course or switch it up
You will grow leaps and bounds by sitting in the uncomfortably of being by yourself with no distractions.
Give this to yourself. Get to know yourself. It’s a gift, and it will open up new worlds.
Peace be to you all.
