"When I packed up my New York apartment for the last time, it wasn't just a physical move. I was going through a profound emotional shift, a decision to rethink what success meant to me. A year prior, I had moved from Dallas to chase a dream editorial role, believing that life in the city would be the ultimate marker of success. But after a sudden layoff, the skyline that once inspired me started to feel like a cage."
"So, my husband and I made a bold decision: We sold nearly everything we owned, bought an RV, and embarked on a journey of a lifetime. My husband was working remotely, and I had some savings from my job, which made it relatively easy for us to move quickly. One day, we were at an RV show, and the next, we were the owners of a Class C motorhome."
After a sudden layoff in New York City, I sold nearly all possessions with my husband and bought an RV. The move followed a previous relocation from Dallas to pursue an editorial role and the recent death of our dog, which deepened loneliness without family nearby. My husband worked remotely and I had savings, so we decided quickly after an RV show and became owners of a Class C motorhome. Life on the road traded subway noise for wide horizons and stillness, but brought uncertainty, loss of predictable paychecks, and a need to relinquish control. I continue traveling and rebuilding a life aligned with new priorities.
