➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I am a freelancer and content creator currently working remotely and traveling full-time! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So I built up my freelance business, saved a bunch of money, and started traveling the world while working remotely. Now, my boyfriend, Dylan, and I are living in our new travel trailer and hitting the road full-time!
Be sure to subscribe here on UA-cam and follow me on Instagram for daily updates! Thanks so much for watching!

Good luck with your new adventures! We will continue to watch. We enjoy the beautiful travel videos regardlessof the mode of transportation. Crosby, I have told my kids and Grandkids of your digital nomad lifestyle and remind them that life is short and the journey through it is more important than the destination. Keep loving life and we will keep loving your videos!
Wow, you guys are amazing!!! You'll never regret doing this while you're young.
Love the vids! Proud of you two living life to the fullest!
Been watching you two since summer 2021! Cant wait for more of your adventures!
Just binged all your vids up to this one because I'm interested in RV life so, so sad to see you guys leaving the RV behind, but I have really enjoyed all of the RV vids. Good luck on your endeavors!
Damn this made me emotional 😭 so proud of you both!! And excited to see the Mexico adventures!!
Love to see you changing course to follow inspiration, and being brave to each follow your calling 👌 You two are such a great example of alignment ✨
This is so kind!! Thank you
I wish you both the best. It was fun following you both.
This was sad. Trying to put a happy spin on breaking up. What good actors. Best wishes.
So awesome you two. So proud of you both. Much love on your journey of life!
You’re the best, Dan!! Thanks for all your help and support ❤
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023
Life doesn’t get better by chance it gets better by change! Making a change in your life is courageous. Staying in the same situation expecting life to improve is actually easier but not optimal. Congratulations to both of you. My son just left today, one way ticket to Mexico City. He is 24 and adventurous. I’m both excited and nervous for him….🤞🤞
Dillon what is the name of your business? I’d be interested in learning more.
Thanks
I am happy for you both. My career as a police officer has let to many years of living with PTSD. It took a long time for me to realize that we need sometimes to put ourselves first.
We really do. Hope you're doing well ❤
So happy for both of you
Thank you!
Enjoyed all the travels in the RV 😉 we just bought a new home 🏡 or I would be all over your RV. Love ❤️ the layout and all your personal touches and amenities that you guys added. All God's blessings with your new adventures.
so happy y’all are doing what’s best for your mental health & safe travels to both of you. i can’t wait for the link to go live, i love this camper & can definitely picture myself living in it full time!
Thank you!! And YAY that would be so cool! We’re deep cleaning the trailer as we speak and and then will hopefully have the listing ready tomorrow, so stay on the lookout 😉
@@CrosbyGraceTravels so exciting! i’ll definitely be on the lookout
Oh my gosh loving the content and the trailer. You guys are so sweet with each other too! I spent a month in Bali, went to Seminyak and Ubud but it was a bit too intense for me, energetically. Plus I was mid 30s and not there to party. So! I spent most of my time in a tiny fishing village in Amed called Lean Village. Lovey people, inexpensive, much more quiet. If I could do it over again I’d have stayed in SE Asia longer and visited Thailand, Laos, Cambodia since the flights are inexpensive and it’s a hard destination to get to on corporate American vacay time limit. I came back early for a job-never again. Not worth it. Safe travels sweet humans!
Wohoo!! Great update! Can’t wait to see where 2023 takes you ☺️
We better meet up at some point!! 🤞
Wishing you both the best on your travel and business adventures. Great story on how you and Dylan met and hope it works out he can spend quality time with you in the near future. Safe travels.
Thank you so much!! He has plans to visit me in Mexico in a few weeks so we're very excited about that
Best wishes in this next chapter of your lives!
Thank you!
thanks for sharing your experience and best of luck to you both on your next adventure 👍
Thank you!!
Appreciate your honesty! And totally get it. Listen I'm your parents age and yet I could not do this Full Time. I enjoy my home our friends and our Nautical side to life. So we're weekenders. And once me and my wife retire. Perhaps 3 to 4 mths out of the year we'll travel in our RV; but we'll get to do it with no worries to work and afford nice stays and locations. You have many years in front of you. Invest in property and handle your money well. Have a home base paid off not to late in life.
That's a great way of looking at things! I'm sure we will do RV life again in the future, but more of a weekender thing like you do. Thank you for your insight and kindness!
Hi Crosby and Dylan. I will GREATLY miss the RV videos, but totally understand. Loved seeing the adventures and you were able to show us what this country has to offer with all the sites you visited. You have to do what is best for your lives now. And congrats Dylan on your new company going full time. SO exciting for you both. Can't wait to see your new travel videos and what life will bring for you and your business opportunities. Please keep the videos going.
John, you've been such a kind supporter of Dylan and I throughout our RV journey - I truly appreciate you!
@@CrosbyGraceTravels Thank you so much for your kind words. I loved your RV videos and the lifestyle, but love your travel videos just as much. You have a great way of telling the story on your videos. I hope you continue to do videos, would love to learn more about your work and what you do. More important than anything else, you both made a choice to make you and Dylan happy. I know it must have been a hard decision, but you acted on it which says a lot about your character and being such a special person. You two make a great couple, and hope to see you both on all your videos and his. Thank you for being part of our lives.
Thank you for sharing ❤ and I am happy for both of you on your newest journeys. I can relate what it’s like feeling isolated especially after living in Indonesia for a year right before Covid. Going from meeting and interacting with new people each and everyday to feeling alone and isolated and experiencing reverse culture shock did a number on the mental health of my past partner and I. I give you a lot of courage for taking this time to realize what’s best for you and going full force towards it. You guys rock!
If you have any questions about Indonesia, please feel free to ask 😊 so excited you are going there! I absolutely loved Bali!
It really was reverse culture shock at an all-time high for me. Thank you so much for your support!! ❤
Good luck to you guys!
Thank you!
That is so AWESOME! You guys are young and full of life, I say GO FOR IT, enjoy your young life. 💖💖💖💖💖
You are the sweetest!! Thank you so much for your support 🥹❤️
Hey, if my daughter doesn't get into Med school this year, she might be interested in traveling with you.
It's sad to see you guys break up and stop RV life. I've been not really doing full timing, but more like extended stays. We would go out for 6 months or so, and return back to the family for a few months. Then repeat that cycle. It helps to keep things fresh with the RV (and honestly with us as well). I'm going to unsbub for now. Just temporarily and see if you guys return back to RV life. Good luck with each of your separate endeavors and hope to see you guys reunited soon.
Small suggestion or idea: maybe try a small fan n have it blowing from fireplace heater towards your bedroom at night. Have it aim half n half, half towards ceiling/half towards open door towards bedroom. Just a thought.
Also looking fwd to following you along thru Mex + wherever else you are called. I want to return to traveling again with my 3 kids, we are starting in Mex too but Guatemala + beyond would be amazing if my kids catch the travel bug like me!!
Ahh if I hadn't just bought my own trailer I would have LOVED to buy yours! And I'm sad to hear you won't be on the road anymore, just as I'm hitting the road for RV life, but so happy for your international travels. I did the whole backpacking through Southeast Asia/Australia/NZ when I was 25-27, so I totallllly understand the itch to go! Best of luck! :)
Thank you so much, Amanda, and have the best time on your RV journey!!
❤❤best wishes
Wow - props to you both for having the courage to pivot your lifestyle and independently pursue things that give you more energy. I just found this channel today but have been living a similar life in a lot of ways - traveling to a lot of similar places and trying to intentionally design a life for myself that gives me community/connection as well as flexibility/freedom.
When you're in Mexico, I highly recommend you come to Oaxaca City. I've been living there on and off for the past 2.5 years since graduating college, and think based on what you're looking for, it would be a really good fit. If you need any recommendations - let me know!
Thank you so much. I’m going to Oaxaca city in a few weeks and can’t wait! Any recs would be much appreciated :)
@@CrosbyGraceTravels Amazing - you're going to love it!!
- For co-working, there aren't a ton of options but Centrico coworking is your best bet. They've got a campus in the centro and one in Jalatlaco and both are really nice to work from.
- Not sure how long you're staying but I do AirBnB month to month and if they're willing to book offline you can save like 30%. You can find 1 bedroom places for $450 - $750 a month in the center of the city. I stayed for well over a year at Terraza Cielito Lindo which has amazing views of the city. Would recommend that or somewhere else walking distance from iglesia Santo Domingo - the area around there has everything.
- Food - too many places to list here but you can't go wrong. Obviously all the Oaxacan food is amazing but I've also got a go-to Indian, Italian, Japanese restaurant etc - no shortage of options.
- plenty of things to do depending on what you're into - always recommend the nightly bike tour with music to get to know the city
I've been excited about potentially doing this myself this year, but my biggest fear has been knowing I'll be dealing with isolation, especially because I would be doing it alone after parting ways with my person and main support system of 17 years. Now, I'm thoroughly freaked, because it feels like it may not be a good plan for me, but I also have no other ideas for what to do or where to go in my near future. I'm so grateful you posted this, but I also haven't felt more discouraged, probably in my entire life. I have two dogs, so world travel isn't in the cards right now. Time to think more about this.
Everyone’s experience is totally different!! Our first go-around in the trailer was amaaaazing, but it was tougher this year because Dylan’s job was restrictive in terms of what we could do. I felt isolated and sad because I missed traveling internationally and that’s really what I want to do at this point in my life. Don’t let this discourage you from going for it - I think you totally should!
What a great video sharing both the good side of RV life and the reality. Can totally relate to what you were saying even if have never tried RV or nomadic lifestyle. Good luck to you both with your new chapter of life! ❤🌻🇲🇽
We plan on hitting the road this summer and in the market for a trailer. We both work remotely as well. We would definitely be interested in purchasing yours for the right price. Excited for your new adventures to come!
Amazing! We’ll have the listing up by tomorrow so check back then to see it 😊
So happy for both of you!!!❤. We are about to pull the trigger on a used wilderness trailer just like yours!!! We r in Savannah. Can’t wait to see link to purchase.
How cool!! So excited for you. The link should be live by tomorrow 😊
Wish Dylan was selling the truck too
Soooooo did the trailer sell….I would love to come look at it if it’s still available.
I was also considering the RV life if I ever returned to the US. But as of right now though, I have no plans to go back to the US to LIVE. It's so much cheaper to live abroad as a digital nomad. I left Orlando, we were neighbors.
Interested in knowing how much for the trailer.
The listing will be up later today or tomorrow with photos and pricing!!
Hello! So happy for you guys. Best of luck. We are from Orlando Fl and we are interested in checking out the RV. How can I find more information?
Thank you! We have a potential buyer but the listing info is here: bit.ly/3QrChrj
@@CrosbyGraceTravels ok. If it’s still available would love to see it, we would do a cash offer. Let us know please
@@DianaMendoza-ig9ku Hey Diana, we just sold the trailer yesterday to another subscriber. Thank you for your interest!
How much did the whole RV cost?
I would love to buy your trailer, but my timing isn't right! Be careful in Mexico! Maybe I can catch up to Dylan when he is in Dallas. I do need to learn about drones.
Hey Vincent! Please do reach out, Ill be in Dallas between April 12th-20th.
@@DylanGorman
Thank you Dylan! My calendar is marked. I look forward to seeing and meeting you sir!
I’ll send you and email (hopefully) on my contact info.
As nice as the RV content was, I'm also excited for you to go back to Latin America
Well your wish has come true!! Cant wait to share all the adventures to come ✈️
Oh no. Ive just watched your video, is this goodbye for good Cosby? Hope not.
Damnnnn she don’t love you bro 😢 Way too excited to be leaving you for years lol
Lol
Fine, so what if these children have a choice
Multiple people can't handle the RV life. Being unable to be by yourself without others says a ton about society.
Another one down!
Break up?
Sounds like she got bored(typical) and "They" had to make adjustment. What would it be next time... "I'm not happy".. LOL
When will you visit Nayarit again love your videos blessings!
