6 Months of Full Time Travel! What We've REALLY Learned

Welcome to Away We Go Traveling!
6 months ago, we packed our lives into a few bags and hit the road. We had an idea of what to expect, but the reality has been so much more complex, challenging, and rewarding than we could have ever predicted.

This isn't just a highlight reel. This is our honest 6-month update on what it's really like to be a full-time traveler. We're talking about the mental and emotional toll, the financial realities, the mistakes we've made, and the moments that have made it all worthwhile.

Thanks for watching!
==================================

We're Gary & Kara, an early retired couple in our 40s & 50s, who started full time slow travel in the US in March 2025.
Our long term plan is world travel and cruising, but for now we’re lucky to still have our five-pound, fourteen-year-old dog, Molly, so we’re traveling the US in an SUV with her.
Join us as we share our travel strategies, budget updates, and our favorite stops along the way.
