A family that welcomes *ALL* people.
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
My wife and I are now in our 50's and enjoying our empty nest. We have been married for 36 years and have been a couple for 43 years. We met March 5th, 1973, married May 16, 1980. We are from the Philadelphia Pennsylvania area and moved to Florida in 1996 with our family of 4 children. All of our children are now adults and married with families of their own.
We travel to businesses, colleges, universities, governmental and NGO offices as trainers, public and keynote speakers, facilitators and educators. We are vetted with U.S. Dept. of Justice to speak and train law enforcement officers how to respond and respectfully interact with Transgender persons either victim or offender, we facilitate anti bullying programs and support group meetings, lobby state officials and are active in the LGBTQ+ community.
We've recently purchased a used RV that was in need of lots of work. We hope to begin a new life of full time living so we can see more of this beautiful country by the spring of 2018. We are hoping our boondocker guests will share some of their time with us telling their stories, give us advice for RV living and just being a new friend with a similar interest in travel and the freedom of RV/TT living.
Of course if you just want to be left alone to enjoy the peace and quiet of our 125' tall Oak and Pine tree surrounded property we will completely respect your privacy. We look forward to welcoming you.
"Please be aware that we are a *same sex* family and *EVERYONE* is welcome to our property that *COMPLETELY* accepts civil rights, equality and respect for *all* people".

Favorite Boondocking Locations
We are headed west to California in 2018 and then up the west coast. We've not yet been able to start our adventure but we have visited a few resorts and campgrounds here in Florida while road testing our RV. Our favorite by far was in Sarasota.
Karen-Linda's Hometown
Our home town was Levittown Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia. We moved here to Florida in 1996 and it has been home since.

34 feet long
We own a 1990 Fleetwood Bounder RV that has been refurbished. We are upgrading the interior as we travel. No major construction, just changing the old dated curtains and things like that.

Two wonderful women !!!
With Boondockers Welcome we knew it would be a great opportunity to meet new people and maybe make new friends, but with Karen and Linda we found a new family ! They are two amazing women ! They were very welcoming and respectful. We had a wonderful time sharing stories over a meal, laughing and spending time together. Karen even helped us fix the awning of the rv when the new part came in. Meeting them was certainly one of the best highlights of this trip. We love you both ! Family forever !

Wonderful, kind hosts!
We can"t say enough about Karen and Linda's kindness. They let us stay a second time so we could be near family for the holidays. Once again Karen helped us out with many rv issues, including when our door lock broke and I was locked in while Randy was locked out! We shared a meal again and really enjoy there company. We are thankful that they hosted us again and feel like we have made lifelong friends.

Extremely welcoming and caring hosts
I'm so happy we found Karen-Linda! They are such thoughtful hosts, great conversation, care so much about others, have stories and stories to share about their lives and the very important work they are doing in the world. It was an honor to share their home base with them for 2 nights. We will definitely be stopping by again when we're in the area and I hope we get to see them speak while we're on the road. Fantastic couple with a beautiful family.

Nice People - Nice Place - Wonderful Stay
What a nice experience. Karen-Linda are wonderful hosts. They are friendly, outgoing and couldn't have made me feel more welcome or comfortable. I stayed with them for two days, during which time they were quite busy with their lives and I had my own agenda, but it was a pleasant experience from the time I arrived until I left. They like people, so you'll feel welcome by them, too. Thanks Karen-Linda for being another reason that my lifestyle of full-time travel is so grand. Best wishes with all your future endeavors and I look forward to crossing paths again.

Nice peaceful evening
Very helpful hosts. Offered us hook-ups, but didn't need for anything this time. Heading out early. We were pretty tuckered, wish we had felt more social. Maybe next time.Thanx Ladies!
