I've met a lot of married women in my travels who swear they could never drive anything so large, and say that as much as they love traveling, they would never do it alone. I say that's a crying shame. First off, they should learn to drive in case it is ever necessary for emergency reasons. Secondly, whenever you push yourself to do something you didn't think you could and you manage to do it, that's good for self confidence in every other area of life. As for loneliness, you can read my feelings about that subject in my article "Don't you Ever Get Lonely?" where I talk about the difference between loneliness and solitude.

Below are links to websites of women who have braved the open road without men and live to write about it...
YouTube video: "Growing Young - RVing Women" - The first woman featured, 73 year old Shirley Walker, is absolutely amazing! She says she is thrilled to "be free to travel, explore life, and to live in a different kind of way. I think little old people like me ought to be out and doing things and challenging knowledge and moving ahead, and enjoying themselves. Truly my body isn't what it was when I was young, but it's a very good body and takes me where I want to go... The thing about an RV that's wonderful is you can change your mind at any crossroad!" Love her!
Adrienne Kristine I "met" Adrienne through RVTravel.net as we both have written columns for Chuck Woodbury in the Women RVers section. She shared her story with me and I'm sharing it again. I really got a kick out of her talking about being "campsick."
Bad Dogs on the Run Mimi and Jonna live fulltime in a Class C they've named "Tortuga" the travel turtle. They are quite experienced in travel in Mexico, so check out their Traveloque for great info about that.
Blue Jeans and Flip Flops Sisters Lesli and Karen seemed to have inherited the fulltime RVing gene from their parents. The first post I saw was "Slavery Sucks and How I Escaped." Lesli's description of selling her "things," things she had spent years collecting, things she loved big and small - all the things that "masterful marketing...dictates what will make you happy - and you know it never does - not for more than a moment anyway." So much of what she describes in her process of preparing for the fulltime RV lifestyle was exactly how I felt in 2001 when I got rid of the bulk of my things. And I've never regretted what I had to free myself of in order to live the "blue jeans and flipflops" fulltime RVing lifestyle. They also have a great section on RV Remodels, Renovations, Modifications, Redecorating & Decor.
Dawn's RV Life After the death of her beloved husband, Dawn became a fulltime RVer and blogs about her experiences.
Desert Diva "One Woman's Journey on the Road to Life." She once wrote me "I can't describe the feeling that I have when I'm traveling and exploring new places. It's like I'm finally untethered from my daily life and able to soar. That sounds a little extreme, but I'm the happiest when I'm traveling." Extreme or not, I can relate...
Inspired Traveler Robin is a talented jewelry designer who is in the process of beginning her fulltiming dream. I could empathize with some of her insecurities and impatience and I'll be following and rooting for her!
Joei Carlton Hossack Canadian born, Joei has been fulltiming solo for over 20 years and describes herself as "Author, adventurer, RVer, lecturer and trailer trash with an ATM card."
Life on the Open Road Diana has been a fulltimer since 2000, primarily boondocking in the Western U.S. She stays connected with satellite TV, cell phone and internet card, keeping batteries charged by solar panels.
Malia's Miles Blog Besides my websites, Malia's RV (Inspiration's Journey about how I started solo fulltime RVing) and here on Malia's Miles, I write about my miscellaneous RV and life experiences on my blog.
Minnie Minerva Susan's been fulltime RVing since 2009 and I enjoy her blog about her adventures as a "Spiritual Traveler" at location "Galaxy" and the fears and triumphs she freely shares. A YouTube interview with Minnie and a tour of her 25' Minnie Winnie.
RV Sue and Her Canine Crew Sue is "living on less and enjoying life more" in her BLT (Best Little Trailer), a 2011 17' Casita Liberty Deluxe. She even shares her living expenses
RV Wheel Life Julianne Crane no longer travels alone, but she's written about the RV lifestyle for for many years and I always enjoy her adventures and perspectives.

Tales & Trails of the Fab Finds Diva and Her Pinkster Traci is renovating a vintage 1978 GMC RV called "The Pinkster." Can you tell what her favorite color is? I enjoy her spirit and relentless positive attitude!
