Why I'm Giving Up My Cushy Job To Travel The World In An RV
Sep 29, 2020
I've had a great job for over six years. Good salary, excellent health insurance, paid vacations and sick days.
I like the people I work with and I'm not terrible at what I do. I've had the opportunity to have a voice in the shaping of my community and the future of my hometown.
And then ... I just quit.
(I know. Stay with me here.)
I wasn't happy going to work. How spoiled, right?
Who leaves a good, solid job for some nebulous idea of something better, like RV travel?
I had insurance, for God's sake! What on earth was wrong with me?
This is what was wrong with me: I was in a place I didn't want to be and I was doing something I didn't really want to do. I lived in my hometown all my life and my job, while a great opportunity, wasn't what I wanted to really do.
I wasn't satisfied with my life where those two issues were concerned. It became a distraction from the things I did like and the things that made me happy. I needed to see more and be more.
But there's more to it than that.
When I was in my early twenties, my mom changed. Something turned her into a different person than the woman I'd known. We had a falling out, partially due to these changes, partially due to me being too self-centered to understand it wasn't about me.
We didn't speak for seven years. I spent my twenties without a mom, which I understand isn't rare but it was still hard to take.
