You guys are a inspiration to my wife and I! We’re kinda in the same situation as you, old enough to have “had enough” but too young to retire so we would need an income to support or wandering urge. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Roger!!! It really means a lot to hear that. Never hesitate to reach out with any questions you have. Thank you for following along! -Matt & Laurie
@@whynotwander most likely. I retire next year and we want to go full time, but I think I will still need some income. I've been researching it a lot. I'll be 55 and my military pension and 401k won't start until I'm 59.
So happy it is helpful for you, Rachelle! Thank you for watching and for your kind words!! Always let us know if you have any questions! We are always happy to help! -Laurie & Matt
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words, Tiffany! It is exciting to hear that you guys are planning to start RV life soon! There are definitely opportunities for work camping in the fall and winter, although the arrangements may be a little different than summer work due to only a few states hiring for the winter months. What we typically see for winter opportunities are working just to cover your site, OR you might find a few that have you work say 25-30 hours each week for your site and then pay you for the remaining 5-10 hours a week. We highly recommend applying for fall/winter opportunities NOW. We already have ourselves booked for workamping through April 30, 2023, and we're getting ready to apply for places for the summer of 2023! It pays to be ahead of the game with workamping! We have found all of our jobs at Workamper News (www.workamper.com), and if you'd like to join, if you give them our member #269907, we would really appreciate it! :) You can also check out www.workatkoa.com. We have friends who worked with KOA this past winter! Let us know if you have any other questions. :) -Matt & Laurie
I did think of one more thing for the fall/winter! Depending on what your income and location needs are when you first start out, there are great opportunities available working pumpkin patches in the fall and then possibly staying on for Christmas trees or just doing one or the other! I know there are high-paying opportunities in California for both, and there's usually at least one or two listings to work Christmas tree lots in southern Florida. That would at least get you to warmer locations with great pay in a short period of time, and you could use that as a launching point for the rest of your winter plans! They are listing those opportunities already, and I know they get snatched up pretty quick with the great pay! Hope that helps! :) -Laurie
Thank you so much! We are excited and scared. Just burnt out on Corp America but still need an income. Both 50 so not near retirement. We live in La Jolla CA so staying here for the winter would be nice. I'll research pumpkin and Christmas tree farms. And will also look at the hiring site you mentioned. Really appreciate it.

Hello! I have a business where I create handmade clay earrings, and since we were in Minnesota for the fall, it worked perfectly for me to prepare all of my inventory for the holidays! I worked 12+ hour days on earrings and also made sure I kept groceries stocked and made him 3 meals a day that he could take with him to heat up! Thanks so much for asking! :) -Laurie & Matt
