I want to do that one day

I've been in Costa Rica for almost two months, and I'll be here for four more months.

Contrary to what many people think, I'm not on vacation. I'm getting more work done every day while I'm here than I was while I was back in the US in my motorhome. I guess it's because I have fewer distractions here.

A lot of people think I'm on vacation when I'm living in my motorhome, too. If you live full-time in an RV (or even much time in your RV), I'm sure you've had people make comments such as, "Enjoy your vacation."

The comments I hear most often

I hear a lot of comments about my lifestyle, but the comments I hear most often from non-RVers are, "I want to live like you're living." or "I want to do that one day."

You can live full-time in an RV or live in a foreign country. All you have to do to make it a reality is do a little research and then take the steps to make it happen. A few people have valid reasons why they can't do it now, but for most people, their reasons are just excuses. They don't want to take a risk or make a change. They want to stay in their comfort zone.

If you're serious about wanting to live this lifestyle, do your research (by reading some books). I have several books listed in the right panel, and other good books are available from other RVers. At $3.99 for eBooks, you can get a lot of information inexpensively.

If you would like a free copy of any of my audiobooks shown at the top of the list of books, send me an email at [email protected], and I'll send you a coupon you can use to get your free copy.

If you're concerned about money

Many people think they can't afford this lifestyle, but living in an RV or a foreign country can be less expensive than the way most people are living now.

Below are three books I recommend you read if you want to lower your expenses or make money on the road.

  • Secrets of RVing on Social Security

  • How to Live a Laptop Life in Costa Rica (Or in any otgher country)

  • How To Start Writing Your Book Today

A neighbor left the stalk of bananas shown in the picture at the top of the page on my front porch. I appreciated it because even though bananas grow wild everywhere here, a stalk of bananas is heavy and can easily weigh from 50 to over 100 pounds.

Bottom line: If you decide not to live in an RV or in a foreign country, let it be because you looked at the facts and decided it's not a lifestyle you would enjoy, and not because you think you can't afford it or can't make it happen.
