What do you do with your time while full-timing

Hopefully this has not been batted around before.

We are looking at full-timing in a few years. I would like to do some workamping for a couple of years. Thinking of my wife I was wondering what she would do with her time. If we are working then some time is taken up and we would explore the area were at with some other time.
When your on the road I'm not sure there will be the volunteer activities available unless you specifically attend events such as a Habitat build site.
What activities does everyone find to do or what do you do with your free time without breaking the bank?

  • we are currently full timing in Rockport, TX and yes basically the same things that you would do in your home town, only a different area. We read, explore, fish, go to the beach, happy hours, BQ/Smoker, shop, walk the dog, the bad stuff (laundry, bills, grocery shopping), yard sales, thrift shops, eat out, festivals, just your basic have fun!!

    After doing 20 years in the military I went back to school. The history they were teaching was not history for me...it was what my life was. Made getting an "A" every easy.
  • My wife and I are volunteer campground hosts for seven months per year. The other 5 months we just "rest."

  • Workcamping is a great way to full time. Work 5 days 2 days of seeing the sites. In a month or so it is time to move on to a new location and new things to explore.
  • What would you do at a S&B home? Walk the dog, hike, kayak, bike, watch TV, read, sightsee, do little repairs on the RV, drink beer. The same stuff you normally do but in a different part of the country.
