Description

Restless sixty-nine year old Sharon Waters buys an RV, leaves everything behind except her devoted pets, and embarks on a solitary journey akin to the proverbial wandering in the desert. Her three-year trip along harrowing highways and in freezing parking lots tests her strength, ingenuity, and resilience. She digs deep into her personal marrow, meets many, and learns much along the way, but mostly it’s a search for herself. This inspiring memoir relates a wealth of practical knowledge and tells a cautionary tale for those new to RV living. For more experienced travelers, she shares familiar insights as well as ordeals they may wish to avoid. Throughout her venture, the author is comforted by her steadfast companions, two Schipperke dogs, Magic and Cricket, and a cat named Milo. By the end of her journey, Ms. Waters finds that for all her focus on RV improvement and maintenance, it’s her self- esteem and confidence that gain the most from her challenging odyssey. Her quest becomes less about reaching her destinations and more about achieving a peaceful state of mind. Read more

    • Extraordinary and amazing journey of self discovery
Format: Kindle
Wow...what a brave and daring journey. Goes to show how you can be forced to take steps to find or better yourself, only to come out on the other side a better version of yourself. Serendipity? It's refreshing to know how much us seniors are capable of. Especially, when we're stuck with the misconception that life after 60 is pretty much downhill. Sharon's journey proves there is always room for improvement if it is what you desire. The sky is truly the limit. It makes me sad that she eventually had to settle down and stay put. No longer a free bird. No longer an adventurer. But I'm happy she had the opportunity to meet good people, explore the east coast, but mostly become a better person. I am so glad I got to go on this amazing journey with you, Cricket Magic, and of course Milo! ~ a former RVer whose dreams of being a forever wanderer never came true ... show more

    • Enjoyable travel story.
Format: Kindle
A fun read of a mature lady deciding to flip her lifestyle and get an RV and travel. It’s a real world story, forgetting things like insurance and registration for a bit, but amazingly few major calamities. And she learns every mile driven and Walmart visited. Enjoyable.

    • witty talented writer!
Format: Kindle
Enjoyed every mile of her adventure as if I were one of her beloved dogs along for the ride. And that is a compliment i know she would totally comprehend and appreciate. I am hoping for the same adventures less the “freezing” and sweltering” parts with my 12’ aframe and 4Runner. I will always have dogs who unfailingly love whatever i do as long as, like her, we snuggle at night and keep each other company every day. Very good read. Recommend for all you single, older RV and dog lovers like me! ... show more

    • Her personal experience is helpful
Format: Paperback
I love that Sharon shared her personal experience with the world in a way that would be helpful to others. The writing is basic but the personal narrative is powerful.

    • Worth the read!
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed reading this. I especially liked that the Traveler was in HER 70s. I can relate to much of her experience, but as always, not all. Finally someone who adopted life on the road who had some common sense as well as bravery and life given desperation! She was very up front and honest about her life. It was one of the things that made it a good book. I'm recommending it! ... show more

    • A great read!
Format: Kindle
I didn’t want to put this down - her adventurous spirit, love for her fur family and appreciation for her friends, her clear narration of the highs and lows of RV life as she set out on her transformative quest, all made for a great escape for me today. I enjoyed her crisp, succinct writing style that nonetheless drew a full picture for us. I’m glad the Kindle version was available and that her book was linked in the article I happened to read today about Walmart increasingly restricting RVs. ... show more

    • Interesting journey
Format: Kindle
I would recommend this book to friends and nomads. I quite enjoyed traveling vicariously on this journey. I occasionally car camp in Walmart parking lots, and due to this I have been able to travel frugally and enjoy many places. It's amazing how much fun you can have with minimal things and with a minimal budgets. ... show more

    • Three interesting years!
Format: Kindle
The first two-thirds of the book really kept my interest. The final one-third a bit less, but I did enjoy reading about her travels and accompanying challenges. Good for her!
