Empty nesters moved out of their Florida home to travel in an RV full time. They're in year five and loving it.

Barry and Darlene Nicholson are empty nesters who have been living and traveling in an RV full time. They were working their jobs remotely but have since pivoted to becoming full-time content creators. RV life can still be costly, depending on where you stay, gas prices, and activities. Barry and Darlene Nicholson, who met as teenagers in Indiana, spent most of their lives raising their two kids in Florida, not traveling much out of state. Since downsizing from their Florida house to become full-time RVers in 2022, they've been to around 30 states. They'd been to places they never considered visiting before, which turned out to be some of their favorites. With their daughter soon starting college, they realized they wouldn't need their large Florida home anymore. Since home prices were rising during the pandemic, they decided it was time to start a life on the road. The couple, who are in their 50s, wanted to experience RV life while they were still young and physically able.
