As our time here in the US Virgin Islands draws to an end next month, we're starting to contemplate what's next for us.
We both dream of sailing... but don't feel the time is right yet.
We both dream of extended international travel... SE Asia calls us. In time.
And we still have a kick ass off grid RV.
Honestly, just returning to our little trailer and continuing on as before isn't appealing to us. We got in too much of a rut bouncing around between obligations and social opportunities. That's just not the way it should be done. And after 5 years... it got a bit old.
But what does intrigue us a rolling community for an epic adventure. Ok, maybe not epic EPIC, but amazing at least.
Perhaps convoying with a group of uber cool younger working tech-nomads to Alaska over the summer? Or even down into Central America (where we hear it pays to travel in a flock of RVs).
Meandering along the road... stopping for a while to work, hike, chill, etc. Then moving on. Perhaps the group doesn't stay all bumper-to-bumper all the time allowing for flexibility of rendezvous spots and time spans?
Sharing resources, such as pooling satellite uplinks to provide internet for us bandwidth junkies. Those with bigger rigs able to provide a living room. Sharing in meals, drink, games, experience, expertise, skills and community on the roll for a few months. Maybe leave it to the dice to decide our specific waypoints. Maybe we take turns. Maybe we have a .. plan. Nah. Not going that far with it.
So before we consider selling our tricked out trailer and moving on to different modalities of travel. We're thinking.. perhaps an adventure across borders with friends and community is in order.
So.. tossing it out there. Fishing to see if there's interest to form a caravan as soon as May, June or July? And heading north. Or south.
Anyone in?
