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 currently travel and explore the country in a 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.
My travel is usually focused on visiting historical sites or interesting places. I love history and seeing places that shaped our country. You can see some of the places I’ve been by clicking the link to this gallery – J. Dawg Everywhere.

Living an Interesting Life
In addition to traveling, the some other things I enjoy doing include: golfing, photography, writing this travel blog, creating videos for my YouTube Channel, and doing God’s work..

I’m as busy now as when I was working full time. I love staying active and engaging 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.

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’ve also written some 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.
