Empty nesters moved out of their Florida home to travel in an RV full time. They're in year five and loving it.
Empty nesters Barry and Darlene Nicholson moved out of their Florida house to live and travel full-time in an RV. They discuss the highs and lows.
Barry and Darlene Nicholson, once empty nesters living in Florida, have embraced a full-time RV lifestyle since 2022. The couple, who met as teenagers in Indiana, downgraded from their home to accommodate their desire to travel and create content. They have since visited 30 states, discovering new favorites along the way. Moving into their RV life, they encountered challenges such as adjusting to a smaller living space, Barry's retirement from playing in a band, and Darlene's travel anxiety.
Their first RV included many household features, but they later opted for boondocking to save costs. Despite high expenses for experiences during their initial year, the Nicholsons have since reduced their spending by taking advantage of off-grid camping. They have also started a YouTube channel to document their journey.
