Matt, originally from England, and Diana, originally from Latvia, met in San Francisco in 2014. Their first trip together was backpacking in Yosemite where they fell in love with each other and the National Parks. After two years of planning, they quit their Silicon Valley tech jobs in July of 2018 and moved into an RV to hit the road full time. They are on a quest to visit all 419 National Park Units which includes National Parks, National Monuments, National Historic Parks and many more. Whether it’s hiking, cycling or kayaking, they are always looking for ways to explore more. There is such amazing natural beauty all around us, and it has never been more accessible.

As well as being avid outdoors enthusiasts, they’re also very technical. With both having engineering backgrounds, and Matt’s degree in Physics, they’ve made major upgrades to their RV since hitting the road. They have written detailed guides to the electrical upgrades and other mods to their 25ft Outdoors RV travel trailer on their blog AdventurousWay.com as well as sharing their journey on the Adventurous Way YouTube channel.

Kelly and Marshall are both full-time Rving boondockers. They have a combined 9 years of experience living successfully off-the-grid. They met in 2016 and created Camp Addict shortly afterward. The site was born out of frustration when trying to find answers about the RVing products they used or needed.

Before Camp Addict, there was no one particular ‘go-to’ site that had all the answers in one spot. They quickly realized that they should combine Marshall’s excellent RVing research/technical background (the brains) and Kelly’s writing and style skills to create the site themselves. CampAddict.com was born and launched in 2017. Kelly and Marshall also love to teach others to learn how they live the lifestyle- how to boondock, how to do it fearlessly (especially as a solo female, per Kelly) and how to do it safely.

In 1997, Mark Nemeth quit his job, sold his house, bought an RV and joined Escapees. He has contributed to Escapees magazine and served as a technical advisor for 19 years. He still maintains an RVer’s resource website with technical articles, tips and information at www.marxrv.com.

Charlie and I began our RV’ing life by traveling with our kids during our summer vacations.  As school teachers, we had 8 weeks to cram in all the fun we could out west and race back to New York and the grind of our fulltime jobs.  We promised ourselves that one day we would do this full time.  After our second retirement, we sold the house and belongings and set out for our fulltime adventure.  Parttime RV’ing and full time are two different things and within our first week, we stumbled into Dome Rock in Quartzite for what would be the first of many fun and informative experiences with the most caring and inclusive group of people.  We learned so much from our Xscaper family and are happy to pass along any help we can to those just starting or someone looking for a new boon-docking spot. This January 2020 marks 3 years “On the Road” as fulltimers and we can’t imagine stopping anytime soon.

Camille’s grandparents taught her to “go to school, get a job, and buy a house” which is exactly what she did until she walked away from a twenty-plus year career in corporate America.

Since 2016, she and her husband, Bryce, have been traveling around the country while working from their RV. They’ve traveled over 30,000 miles, and visited 33 states—all while learning how to find remote jobs, create income streams, and re-invent themselves professionally.

Camille combines her long experience in corporate training with her Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology to offer Remote Work School, a successful online program where she teaches people how to work remotely so they can live life on their terms. You can find Camille and Bryce on their site MoreThanAWheelin.com, offering RV life, travel, and remote work resources.

Aaron and Christine began downsizing in 2014 not knowing where their journey would take them.  They sold their oversized house, started purging their possessions, and embraced tiny apartment living in Uptown Minneapolis.  They found themselves enjoying experiences over material items and corporate success (and the stress that comes with that).  After eliminating all debt and maxing out savings for the final few years, they planned a date to embark their new life on the road in January of 2019.  Together they started their new online fitness and nutrition coaching business, Irene Iron Fitness, which embraces flexible coaching programs to help others who are looking to make a dedication to self-improvement.  This new and exciting lifestyle brings together their passions for travel and fitness while exploring the country in their Airstream Sprinter van.

Full-time RV travelers for six years and attendees of the first Xscapers convergence, Eric and Brittany Highland are fleeing their comfort zone. They’ve dug into a style of travel called overlanding, which is self-reliant adventuring off the grid–often in a 4×4 vehicle. With their two-year-old, known online as #LittleNomad, the Highlands lived out of their Jeep Wrangler for three months and overlanded 2,000 miles through the interior of Mexico.
