The Reckless Choice

Live cheaply in an RV, work on the road, and see the world.

Where Would You Live?

Being truly nomadic while working is an odd experience. With our jobs earning us plenty of money without ever needing to be in a particular place, we’re free to live wherever we want to in the world. This feels really odd. Most people in the US live where they do because that is where they… Read More Where Would You Live?

How We Get Internet As Digital Nomads

We pay $80/month to have “unlimited” access to the biggest US cellular carriers and use our phones as a backup with Google Fi. We also use a cell booster to increase the range we can get good signal from a tower. This, plus very accommodating jobs, allows us to work (and stream Netflix 🙂 ) from almost anywhere in the continental US.… Read More How We Get Internet As Digital Nomads

Year 2 Mindset- What’s Changed?

Way back in May and June of 2016, when we first hit the road, we were really deer in the headlights. I’m not saying that we are seasoned vets now, but we have settled in to road life. Not surprisingly, it takes quite a while to really find your rhythm and preferences for traveling. But,… Read More Year 2 Mindset- What’s Changed?

Cooking in an RV

I love to cook. And, as an added bonus, I’m decent at it (or so I’m told). I enjoy a good challenge when it comes to cooking and learning new things in the kitchen, and boy, is RV cooking a good challenge! In theory, you can cook anything in an RV that you can cook… Read More Cooking in an RV

Renting the House – One Year Checkup

When we first started planning the trip, we decided that we wanted to rent out the house we own in Denver, CO. We didn’t want to deal with selling right away and the knowledge that we could always move back in after a year in case we hated the mobile life was comforting. So we… Read More Renting the House – One Year Checkup

2017 Route Proposal

Now that the ski season here has drawn to a close, we are eagerly anticipating picking up our RV travels again. With my injury and prolonged recovery (I was on crutches for 3 months and lost 10 lb. of muscle, which I’m working on rebuilding now), we weren’t sure if going very far afield would… Read More 2017 Route Proposal

RV Fuel Economy

  I really like tracking data and doing statistics. I’m a nerd an engineer. So on our trip, every time we filled up the gas tank, we recorded our odometer reading and how many gallons we put in. Some Excel slicing and dicing and we get some cool insights. First off if you’re just joining us,… Read More RV Fuel Economy

Under the Hood of an RV Blog

First off let me say that we write this blog because we enjoy it. We love sharing the cool places we’ve been with friends and family and blogging is an easy way to do that (shout out to Allison’s Grandma Martha who gets a printed copy of all the posts and shares them with her… Read More Under the Hood of an RV Blog

Winter Plans

You may have noticed we have been a little quiet here the last couple of weeks. That’s because there have been some big changes in the Reckless Choice house. Let me fill you in. Since Nik and I like the snow too much to head south for the winter, we have winterized the RV and… Read More Winter Plans

RV Stuff We Really Needed: Gadgets and Technology

When we were preparing to hit the road, we knew we needed WAY less stuff. We got rid of almost everything and embraced a minimalist lifestyle, which has been great for RV life. Some of our ideas about what RV life would look like have ended up being different than the reality. So, what things… Read More RV Stuff We Really Needed: Gadgets and Technology
