About the Book

Have you ever dreamed of chucking it all and hitting the open road?

The authors of this book fulfilled that dream by trading in their successful careers and comfortable lifestyle for a pick-up truck and a 19-foot travel trailer that became their new home-a home on wheels.

Goodbye Careers, Hello American Adventure is based on a 16-month journey across North America and acts as an inspirational guide to temporary retirement. It is also an entertaining account of what happens when you throw a young married couple and a puppy into a confined space and travel together 24 hours per day for over 40,000 miles.

Along the way, they met inspirational strangers, viewed amazing scenery, escaped wild animal encounters, and struggled with inevitable RV breakdowns. Their journey turned out to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that ultimately reshaped their outlook for the future, their relationship, and their everyday existence in society. This book is motivation for anyone who has ever dreamed of taking a life-altering adventure.
