Thanks for checking out my blog! I’m a retired guy exploring North America. Sometimes in a small RV and sometimes in a just a car. This blog is a journal of my travel adventures.
Before I retired and started traveling, I worked in the technology department at a large Fortune 500 company. I did everything there was to do with computers and had a good career. In my early 50’s, I’d saved enough, had enough, and called it quits before my high stress job killed me.
Living My Dreams
It was always my dream to retire early. Not because I disliked working, but because I had a dream. For me, my job was always a means to an end and that end was to earn enough and save enough so I could do what I longed to do – to travel and live an interesting life. Instead of working for a living, I’m now Living My Dreams – traveling, exploring, and enjoying God’s creation.

To help make this happen, I became an RVer. I travel and explore the country in my 2014 Winnebago View Profile 24V motor home. I don’t have a plan and I’m not trying to live a unique lifestyle. I’m just taking off and going places whenever I can. Exploring the country and doing interesting things – living vicariously through myself!
My travel is usually focused on visiting historical sites and places. I love history and seeing places that shaped our country. When I travel, I usually pick an area or route with some historical significance. You can see some of the places I’ve been by clicking the link to this gallery – J. Dawg Everywhere.

Living an Interesting Life
Being a “sometime” RVer, I still have a sticks and bricks home. I spend the winter in Florida, travel in the Spring and Fall, and enjoy summers in New England. It’s a great lifestyle and I am blessed that God made it possible for me to do this.
In addition to traveling, the other things I do to live an interesting life include: writing this travel blog, creating videos for my YouTube Channel, and doing God’s work when he calls me..

I’m as busy now as when I was working full time. I love staying active, being vital, and engaged with communities of people. I thank God for all he provides and allows me to do.
Becoming a Blogger
I started this blog to create a journal of my travels – where I went, what I saw, and what I experienced. I write about my travels and use pictures and videos to help tell my stories. As I mentioned above, my niche is traveling to and writing about historical places.

I also use this blog to give something back – to share my journeys and what I’ve seen and experienced with family, friends, and guests. I also write articles on things I use and lessons I’ve learned while traveling. Perhaps something here might give you an idea, provide some useful information, or inspire you in some way.
