Meet Porkchop and Lucy
We were blessed with the very rare opportunity to be part of a couple’s first day on the road as full-timers – and they were kind enough to let us interview them on camera.
Porkchop and Lucy were tired of the city they were living in, and were trying to choose – what’s next? No particular city was calling them, and they were contemplating renting vacation homes around the country to gain some mobility and check out some new cities.
Then Porkchop got intrigued with the idea of RVing instead – they wouldn’t have to pack all the time and would be able to move on whenever they liked without rental contracts.
The problem? Lucy wasn’t so keen on the idea.
In this interview, these two share with us their (very recent and fresh on their mind) process of coming to this decision and how they eventually came to see eye to eye.
Porkchop is a remote software developer, still working for the same company he has for many years. He’s not yet actually told them they’ve moved into an RV (and in case you’re wondering, no – that’s not his real name). But it seems to be working out remarkably well for them. We checked in at their two month nomadiversary last week – and Porkchop has actually received a promotion with his company, and Lucy reports the honeymoon phase is over and they’re settling in quite nicely into their new lifestyle. (She’s loving it by the way!)

Inspired to explore a nomadic path yourself? We created a series just for you! Check out our free blog series: No Excuses: Go Nomadic that addresses many of the logistics such as – income sources, affordability, pets, family, mail, healthcare, connectivity, community and more.
We also offer the same series as a ‘pay as you wish’ eBook, for those wanting the convenience and/or tossing us some thank-you bucks (Thank you!).
Im a 44yr old freelance photographer, art teacher and artist. I went full time in a converted Mac Tools truck (1986 Grumman, 25ft)… Mostly moving around lower mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island right now, but heading down the west coast in fall 🙂
Best creative headspace and lifestyle ever! Many people are flipped out when I tell them how I live, some are genuinely intrigued. Viva la DIY/declutter revolution !!:-)
LOVING this series! So inspirational! Also fun to share with my family so they aren’t quite so scared by my dreams. 😉
Thanks for the kudos, Suzanne.. the positive feedback really helps keep us motivated to keep up with the series. It’s been so much fun.
Thanks for your careful editing! It was a terrific 1st day out meeting the folks who really inspired us! I hope we can hook up in FL this winter…
Ooo… you guys are heading back to FL this winter? That perks me up! Can’t wait to see you guys again and hang out some more. And thanks again for the awesome interview, as you can see – folks are really appreciating it!
Great video! My hubby & I just recently started playing around with the idea of RV living so these vids will help us figure out what’s in store. Would love to hear more about what folks did to prepare for this lifestyle change, particularly getting the finances in order. Best of luck to Porkchop & Lucy (…and Tito!)
Hey Tammy.. and welcome. Really love hearing that the video series is helpful to you. Some of the folks we talk with do talk more in-depth about their financial planning & situation, so do keep tuned. We allow each household to choose what they’re comfortable disclosing. And obviously, it’s going to vary widely based on the situation.
We will be in Florida after our Amazon stint…..going to head for Cedar Key for a few weeks to unwind.
Cool.. potential to hook up again. No clue what our plans hold, everything is dependent on my dad’s health.
Great video interview guys! We would love to be included when next our paths cross. We are on Washington coast on Whidbey Island (well later today) and then heading down into Oregon late this month, then heading back east to Campbellsville, KY to the Amazon fulfillment center for 2 months beginning 10/1….crossing the US through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas…don’t know your travel plans.
Clarke and Elaine
Most likely sticking within a day or two drive of Florida is our foreseeable routing.
We were just kicking off the project when we met back in Cedar Key, but should have gone ahead and gotten you guys then anyway. Next time for sure!
Always enjoy watching your videos. It makes my wife and I not feel so alone in our quest!
Thanks guys.. that’s exactly why we decided to start filming our nomadic friends 🙂
