Description: This family ditched the suburbs for an RV—and have no regrets | Nathan and Marissa Moss, Less Junk, More Journey Subscribe to Freethink on YouTube ►► freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe Up next ►► How a 21 y/o finance TikToker is hacking the American dream youtu.be/zTeXRacfiKU In the age of high-speed WiFi, many single Millennials have been opting-out of the traditional workforce over the past decade, choosing the digital nomad life over the traditional 9-5. Typically, this lifestyle has only been accessible to single nomads. But recently, entire families are picking up and changing course. When the global pandemic hit in 2020 — ushering in a new age of economic uncertainty — RV living became even more appealing to many people. And the shift to digital technology over traditional offices, plus self-isolation, made the transition easier for those looking to take the leap. One couple made a drastic decision to ditch the life they had built in exchange for just that. Nathan and Marissa Moss decided to follow the steps of many others, and share their new RV life online, capitalizing on the broad interest in RV living. The lifestyle has spawned a massive online community on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, where people can share photos, videos, and advice for fellow #vanlife nomads. For an alternative lifestyle, RVers have garnered a massive following — in 2020, there were more than 7 million posts on Instagram tagged #vanlife.
