Just wait til retirement . . . you'll see us "on the road again."
we used to camp out at koa all the time, they are one of the nicest kept campgrounds i know of.... there are many and some may be nicer then others but they really are a great place to take people who arent really campers and break them in.....

dont think i want to live there though

Tramps and hoboes are commonly lumped together, but in their own sight they are sharply differentiated. A hobo or bo is simply a migratory laborer; he may take some longish holidays, but soon or late he returns to work. A tramp never works if it can be avoided; he simply travels. Lower than either is the bum, who neither works nor travels, save when impelled to motion by the police.

I am too old to travels and works at the same time, travels by itself is very tiresome, might consider when at younger age.

I, myself a Hobo, work from my laptop. I can work from anywhere in the world as long as I have internet. I work 4-6 hours a week and make just as much as when I worked full time.

Work 4-6 hours a week, that is nice!!!!!

As long as you have internet connection? Awesome, you can even work at libraries.

Working so little hours a week definitely allows one to volunteer, relax, sightsee where they are at.

I guess if I ever want to be moving around, whether rving, or even just living from place to place a few months here, and a few months there, working via internet from anywhere is the way to go.

But who wants a bunch of bums and hobos for friends?
