Blogs which inspire



Quite a while ago, I stumbled across a blog called Ms Tioga and George.  George survived cancer, then bought a class C RV (Ms. Tioga), installed solar panels, a large battery bank, a data uplink, and became a full time adventurer.  He travelled the US and then Mexico over the next decade, faithfully blogging his exploits, occasional dent and all.  Due to health issues, he's parked now, but to me George always proved that curiosity and the right attitude was all you really needed to wander successfully.  Thanks George, for sharing your travels.


More recently, I read Travel with Kevin and Ruth. After their children had fledged, they sold the house, bought an inexpensive class A RV and wandered off.  Both handy and very frugal, Kevin gravitates to warm and economical locals like Mexico, where he and Ruth have travelled extensively.   They prefer rural locations, and hike and photograph frequently.  Now world travellers, they have been recently summering running municipal parks in Saskatchewan. They seldom miss a day posting, and reading of their adventures has been a daily pleasure.






Lately I have found Turtle on Down the Road.  Despite their disabilities, Brenda and Gerry forged into Mexico with their class C. They travel and sight-see on good days, and hang out when it's not. Since I've been permanently disabled for nearly a decade, their travels are proof to me that adventure is necessary and possible.
