Why this couple sold their home to live as nomads in their RV
CBC
It's not always easy, longtime couple Larry and Alice Grimm will be the first to admit. But 19 months after choosing to live as nomads in an RV, they're not ready to turn back yet.
In February of 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was beginning, the Grimms sold their home in Florida, along with most of their belongings, and hit the open road. They recently ended up in P.E.I., where they spent three weeks of their adventure.
"I'm from Florida, and when I see cliffs, especially red sand and red cliffs, I'm in another world," Alice said.
The Grimms worked for 30 years, but when Larry started to get arthritis, they decided it was a good time to retire.
"I knew that I was going to change something, and not working would really bring down the stress level. So I said to Alice, I said, 'What do you think about moving into an RV?'"
He made it look appealing, Alice said.
"What he did was show me other YouTubers that were parked by mountains and lakes and streams and said, 'This is what we're going to do.' We haven't quite gotten there yet, but we've parked close enough that we can walk to the beach, so that's good enough for me."
