Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of some neighbors "from hell" the Storms decided to completely change their lifestyle, sell their condo, downsize and become full-timers. This book tells the story of their transition from living in a home that never moved (unless there was an earthquake) to living in a home that rarely stops moving; how they overcame the "stuff syndrome"; how they bartered for their rent; and how they took the "lemons" their nasty neighbors tried giving them and made "lemonade"... and never looked back.

The Storms had both good and bad experiences as hosts and this book explains in detail some of those experiences both the good and the bad.

Download or read book The Adventures of Ryan Brian written by Ryan Boatner with Brian Boatner and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-09-21 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adventures of Ryan & Brian is a marvelous true story of Ryan Boatner. Ryan is a double handicapped boy who finds adventure in everything he and his father do together. As Ryan tells his story you will begin see the world from his perspective, the world of only feeling, smelling, and hearing. The world, as Ryan experiences it daily, is just a blur. Ryan depends almost exclusively on how his dad or someone else describes his surroundings to him. The world Ryan knows is far different than a regular sighted person, and his having to be in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy makes things even more difficult. Everyday activities that Ryan does take more time and effort. But with the help of his dad, Ryan learns to adapt, overcome, and conquer some of the more difficult tasks to make his world fit him. Ryan’s father teaches him that there are “No Limits. You can do anything you want to if you want to do it bad enough.” This manuscript is wonderful. It really gives a fantastic insight into a world that most of us take for granted. Seeing the world from Ryan’s perspective is a real eye-opener; it makes the reader stop and just take a look around at all the things we usually miss. All in all, absolutely wonderful stuff, and I am so glad I had the privilege to work on it. Mark Hooper at Angel Editing

Download or read book Unusual Adventures Traveling Through Life written by Laura Jevtich and published by Crack of Noon Club. This book was released on 2023-07-01 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They sold their house and everything in it to move into a truck camper. And they were not small people. Laura began her memoir in the summer of 1995, when she walked into a summer party and met the love of her life, Sasha. Their whirlwind courtship started them on an adventurous journey. Along the way, Laura created six careers and used frugalness and thrift to find financial freedom while battling anxiety. They looked at what they wanted before marriage and chose a path. That meant pooling their finances, paying off debt, and ultimately deciding to work half the year while traveling in a recreational vehicle (RV). There were a few distress signals along the way. The self-doubt and anxiety of job jumping as an environmental geologist, computer trainer, and small business owner gave Laura insomnia. Yet those experiences allowed her to follow her dream job: to work as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service. When she retired from the rat race of full-time work, she was 38. They lived in the truck camper of 24 square feet before the season of the bugs forced a change of RV. With a new-to-them fifth-wheel toyhauler, they found a togetherness few married couples find. There were still bumps in the road, no matter who was driving. So, Laura created a website and blogged about their travels, finances, and full-time living in an RV: Laura & Sasha's Excellent Adventure. It was her way of being creative in a small space. It allowed friends and family to see the beauty of national parks and remote nature areas few saw. This memoir presents their adventures to their twentieth wedding anniversary. Come along for the ride and learn how to do this lifestyle too.

Download or read book Family Adventures written by Bex Band and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to involving babies and children in all sorts of adventures, whether it be cycling, camping, paddling, hiking, swimming or outdoor holidays. As soon as Bex Band, founder of the UK's largest women's adventure community, Love Her Wild, announced she was pregnant with her first child, the sympathy began. 'Enjoy your adventures while you can', 'It's going to be a big shock not being able to travel as much', and 'Aren't you going to miss adventuring?'It seemed as though having children was a death sentence when you're an outdoor adventurer. But it really doesn't have to be that way. Yes, it's a scary prospect – how do you keep them safe? Where do they sleep? What equipment do you need? - but it's totally doable. When Bex's daughter was just a few weeks old, Bex and her husband took her camping. Now age 2, she's been wild camping on Dartmoor, cycling along the coast, swimming in rural lakes and even carried in a backpack on a multi-day Negev desert hike. Now, she shares her stories and insights in Family Adventures, a practical and inspirational guide to involving babies and children in outdoor adventures. This guide is full of useful information (such as what to pack when camping with an infant or how to keep children safe in open water), invaluable tips (family games you can play around a campfire or how to keep morale up in bad weather) and plenty of honesty around things going wrong (poo-explosion on a wild camp, anyone?). Experiences from adventuring families also provide a plethora of insights so that you're well equipped to make your family adventuring dreams a reality.
