Our wedding at Mr. Cook, New Zealand 2003

Bill and I have been happily married for 16 years. Between us, we have 5 adult children and 5 grands. In 2013, I retired from 24 years in higher education. Bill retired a few years earlier from a management position. After retirement, we worked part time as caregivers as well as volunteering with the San Gorgonio Wilderness Association (SGWA) doing trail maintenance and ranger support. The past three years, we've done seasonal work as Amazon Camperforce in Kentucky. We love to travel, explore, and read. I love cities and cultural venues. Bill prefers quiet and remote locations. We are perfect together.

Skills & Expertise to Share

After retirement from our careers, I became an infant and special needs nanny and my Bill was a senior/hospice caregiver. We also did volunteer work (mostly trail maintenance) for the SGWA.

Jamie.Smith's Pets

We travel with our 11 year old rescue Bengal cat Smeagol. She's a good girl, has had all her shots, and never goes outside.

Favorite Boondocking Locations

We love boondocking in the Alabama Hills at the base of My. Whitney near Lone Pine, CA.

Jamie.Smith's Hometown

We sold our home in Southern California and have been living and traveling full-time in our RV since September 2015. I am a city girl from Los Angeles County. Bill is a country boy from Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. We have children in California, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Fantastic Full Timers!

We had the pleasure of hosting Jamie.Smith. Enjoyed learning about the full timer lifestyle and all the places traveled. And, we have added a magical little place called Julian to our future travel destinations. Happy and safe journey to you, and hope our paths cross again some day! The Campbells
