Livin’ the dream!
As a native of Miami, I grew up camping, hiking, exploring, enjoying nature, and being in the great outdoors.
I sold my home and worldly possessions several years ago to start Livin’ the Dream of traveling and living full time in an RV
Enjoy yourself as I share my favorite places and locations.
My Adventures
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Resort town of Bar Harbor
A beautiful mid-morning visit to the resort town of Bar Harbor, home of Wabanaki Indians until French Explorer Samuel de Champlain ran aground on a rock ledge, came ashore to repair his boat, and met the local natives. Founded on the northeast shore of Mount Desert Island, the town was incorporated in 1796 as Eden, then renamed in 1918 as Bar Harbor after the sand and gravel bar visible at low tide.
May through October, the population increases dramatically with tourists and seasonal residents. Many come for Acadia National Park for hiking, biking, and mountain climbing, with Cadillac Mountain being the highest point on the Atlantic Seaboard.
The maritime location is home to puffins, whales, seals, puffins, seabirds, lighthouses, lobsters and a beautiful waterfront.

Bushkill Falls | The Niagara of Pennsylvania
Bushkill Falls is among the Keystone State’s most scenic attractions. This unique series of eight waterfalls, nestled deep in the wooded Pocono Mountains, is accessible through a wonderful network of hiking trails and bridges which afford fabulous views of the falls and surrounding forest.

Lake Whitney State Park
Take a short road trip from DFW or Waco to the shores of this lake with clear water, plenty of campsites, and a great place to relax. Enjoy fishing for largemouth, striped and white bass, and watch for bald eagles, wild turkeys, deer, raccoons, armadillos and opossums. Explore the many trails for hikers and bikers, and light a campfire to soothe your mind and make smoores.

Silver Springs State Park
The crystalline waters of Silver Springs are so clear you should take a tour on Glass Bottom Boats to manatees, alligators, and the location of the 1954 classic horror movie, Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Located on the shores of Lewis Smith Lake, this little-known park has welcomed visitors since opening nearly 50 years ago. Offering camping, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, putt putt golf, and a dip in the park’s swimming pool, it’s a perfect place year-round.
