Hi! My name is Lori and four years ago I retired from the Postal Service after 30 years of service. I have always wanted to see this great country called America. At 58 years of age I embarked on my journey in a teardrop camper. I traveled part time at first, then after two years I got a 23 foot camper, sold my condo and now it's how I live! I enjoy writing about my adventures and sharing them with the world.
