Today I am interviewing a business owner from Maine about an incredible Workamping opportunity right outside the front door to one of America’s most scenic national parks.

Glenn Tucker is the owner of several tourism businesses in Bar Harbor, Maine, that serve visitors to Acadia National Park.

He explains why his company has relied on Workampers for 25 years. Glenn describes the wide variety of positions available, and how cross-training keeps every day interesting for Workampers.

He also shares what makes a great candidate, why customer service matters so much, and why recruiting for the 2027 season begins months before most people start thinking about their summer plans.

Working with Glenn’s businesses offer much more than a seasonal paycheck.

Whether you’re helping guests at the customer service counter, maintaining bicycles, driving shuttles or leading kayak tours, you’ll spend your summer surrounded by the beauty of Acadia National Park and New England.

You will also work alongside a team that values flexibility, teamwork and outstanding customer service.

Glenn explained how Workamping couples enjoy shared days off to explore the Maine coast and why so many Workampers return because of the welcoming community they’ve built over the years.

Today, I am speaking with a woman who is on her second stint of Workamping in Alaska with her family and enjoying an amazing experience.

Jessie Watters is a full-time RVing mom of three who traded a traditional suburban lifestyle for a life of adventure, family travel and Workamping opportunities across the country.

Just over a year ago, Jessie and her husband packed up their family, hit the road and began a journey that has already taken them from Alaska to Arizona and back again.

In this episode, Jessie shares what it’s really like to raise three children in a 32-foot motorhome while managing campgrounds in some of Alaska’s most beautiful locations.

She talks about the transition from a four-bedroom house to RV living, how Workamping has allowed her family to travel full time and why Alaska has captured their hearts.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Workamping could work for a family with children, Jessie offers an honest look at the rewards and challenges.

She explains how her kids are learning practical life skills on the road and why every day feels a little like a vacation.

Workamping has given their family opportunities they never could have experienced otherwise.

You’ll also hear about managing campgrounds for Alaska Recreational Management, living in bear country, boondocking in remote locations and navigating the famous Alaska Highway.

Whether you’re a seasoned RVer or just beginning to explore the Workamping lifestyle, Jessie provides plenty of inspiration to help you understand what might be possible if you follow in their footsteps.

Jessie and her family didn’t wait until everything was perfect before pursuing their dream. They accepted a Workamping position before they even owned an RV and figured things out along the way.

One of the themes that stood out in this conversation was the importance of embracing change.

Jessie shared how downsizing their possessions, adapting to close quarters and learning new skills helped their family grow stronger together.

She also reminded us that Workamping can provide opportunities to experience places and lifestyles that many people only dream about.

I also appreciated her perspective on Alaska. While many RVers worry about the distance, cost and challenges of getting there, Jessie believes the experience is well worth it.

From managing campgrounds in Cooper Landing to living among mountains, glaciers and wildlife, she has found a place that truly feels like home.

Her advice for anyone considering the Workamping lifestyle is don’t be scared. Your home travels with you, and the opportunities can be life changing.

To learn more about Jessie’s adventures, connect with her on Facebook at The Watters Way, where she regularly shares family travels, fishing trips, hiking adventures and life on the road.

Today I am speaking with a solo RVer who has been on the road for many years, but completed one year of traveling that really broke her open so much so that she wrote a book about the experience.

Kristy Halvorsen is a solo traveler whose journey has taken her across every state in the nation, nearly every Canadian province and into some of the most remote places in North America. She made an appearance earlier on this show in December 2022.

Kristy spent almost nine years living and traveling full time in a 28-foot Airstream and embracing a lifestyle she describes as “coddiwompling.” It is a term which means traveling without a fixed destination or detailed plan.

In this episode, Kristy shares stories from what she calls the most transformative year of her travels. It was a journey that inspired her book titled “Perfect Unfolding: Seven Years of Life-Changing Solo Adventure, One Year That Broke Me Open.”

Along the way, she traveled to Labrador and Newfoundland, and faced serious health challenges while camping alone in remote wilderness areas.

Kristy discovered valuable lessons about resilience, trust and the kindness of strangers.

Kristy also talks about the realities of solo travel, what she has learned from nearly a decade on the road and why she believes some of life’s greatest adventures begin when we stop trying to control every detail.

Her stories remind us that the road is about much more than just destinations. It’s about the people we meet, the challenges we overcome and the personal growth that comes from stepping outside our comfort zones.

She also offered a refreshing reminder that independence does not mean doing everything alone. Instead, true freedom often comes from recognizing how interconnected we all are and why we must be willing to accept help when it arrives.

For anyone considering a full-time RV lifestyle, Kristy noted that you do not need every detail figured out before you begin. Start the journey, give yourself time to learn and allow the experience to reveal what kind of traveler you want to become.
