Honeymoon in Live Oak, Florida

Hello! We are Steve and Nicole Torres. We quit our 9 to 5 jobs last year after much soul searching. We knew we weren't happy in that lifestyle and wanted a change. We knew wanted to leave Tallahassee, but weren't quite sure where we would like to go. This, combined with our love of traveling, music festivals, art, and not doing things in the traditional manner, led us to the idea of living, traveling and working full time in an RV.

We are finally getting settled into our new lives, which has made this the perfect time to start the blog we have promised everyone we would do! Our "RV Adventure" as we have dubbed it, truly began to come to fruition in mid-September of last year when we purchased our RV and quit our jobs. Nicole worked as a conference coordinator, and sat at a desk on a computer 99% of the time. Steve Hulaween and Bear Creek music and arts festivals at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. The music festivals were about a week and a half apart, during which time we stayed at the beautiful park and Honeymooned! We took long walks in the woods, field trips into Live Oak to eat and shop at Pepe's, we also had yummy fried mushrooms, a burger and beer the Brown Lantern. We made it into Lake City as well when our toilet broke and we needed a new one.

installed signs for a sign shop, and stood on top of a ladder 99% of the time. We were then married on September 21, 2013, at St George Island, Florida. After the wedding we moved out of our rental (horror) house on October 30, as we had plans to attend both the

We are still finding pine needles in unmentionable places...

After the festivals and the Honeymoon, we made our way to South Florida, utilizing Wal Mart parking lots for a place to spend the night. It took us about three days to make it from Live Oak to West Palm Beach, where we are wintering, along with many other snow birds.

Our first work gig came in the form of selling Christmas trees in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach. The hours were long and the work was sticky, but it was an amazing first job to have as full timers. Nicole learned how to make fresh wreaths from the tree trimmings, and also worked on her Spanish. Steve was happy to be back outdoors, playing with chainsaws and strapping trees to the tops of Porsches, no kidding. Here is Nicole, being a good reindeer and looking after Santa's trees. (An early disclaimer: We are terrible at taking pictures and documenting our experiences, but we promise to try to be better for you!)

As for now, we are working on getting the Sheep in tip top shape so it is ready for our next adventure. Somewhere hopefully far, far away from Florida!
