Have a blog you think is a fit for this list? Best way to get on this list is to be active on social media (and with us), be active in forums/groups or even link to us from your own blog. We add blogs as we organically stumble across them. Also, a couple times a year we do a general refresh of this list and put out an open call on social media for new submissions.
We primarily link to non-commercial blogs that are fairly actively sharing about life on the road as non-(traditional)retirement aged full time RVing perpetual nomads. To keep this list manageable and fresh, we trim out non-active blogs or folks who quit the RVing lifestyle.
This blog is fueled by YOUR enthusiasm. Your comments help inspire the next post.. don't be shy!
