John and Katie's RV Honeymoon

• North America

• Travel Writer

  • 2016 - 2017

  Traveled 45,000 miles across North America with my husband in a travel trailer. Planned 18 months worth of itineraries in places previously unfamiliar to me. Planning included logistics of where to stay, what to do, where to find water, gas, food, dump stations, and other basic necessities, and how to plan for safety hazards such as weather, wildlife, or inaccessible roads. Wrote and took photographs for over 140 blog posts (and counting) to document our travels and offer travel advice at johnandkatiesrvhoneymoon.com. Average post length: 1,000 words. Adapted quickly to a plethora of natural and cultural environments. Dealt with unexpected situations and adapted plans accordingly. Gained insight into different regions of North America - the different ways in which people live, the challenges they face, natural and cultural differences, and history of different areas. Challenged myself in new ways, such as by going ice climbing on a glacier despite a fear of heights. Honed my organizational skills by living in a space of 200 square feet. Practiced relationship management by spending 24/7 with my new husband. Learned how incredible it feels to check things off of my "bucket list". Show less
