  • Interview Round Rock Honey & Free Camping on Magnolia Beach Texas // Round Rock Honey in Round Rock Texas, just outside of Austin Texas, is an incredible place to visit and take a tour, maybe a beekeeping class, and get some local honey. I interview Konrad Bouffard who started the honey bee farm and Round Rock Honey and find out his motivation for starting this business and any advice he has for people looking to start a business on the road.
    I also found some free beach camping at Magnolia Beach in Port Lavaca Texas and discuss my 8 week bootcamp on starting a business traveling full-time and how to transition into digital nomad life.

    ★ How I Got Started
    Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of living out of my RV full-time and traveling all around North America.
    After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B Hymer Aktiv van. I couldn't have been more excited to continue my second year in a van that allows me to travel to more places and experience more in life.

    Awesome, I searched for Round Rock Honey , because 1, I live in Round Rock, and 2 I was watching, about the Bee / honey business and thought about our local company, so I went to UA-cam, and searched, of course I subscribed to your channel, thank you for showing the Texas Blue Bonnets, I was hoping you would, as this was published and taped in April 2019, you just captured those Bonnets, so pretty, as they are only blooming for such a short time!
    I bought some Round Rock Honey last year, and also some Beeswax, which I use for my Batiks, it works well, I also created, a Batik Tee shirt of a Bee, and need to get doing more, sad that we are losing our precious Bees, currently I am without Transportation, so that hinders me in a huge way, in progressing on my hopes and dreams, and still ~~~~~ I keep creating my designs as it keeps me busy, Thanks for this awesome Video I enjoyed it tremendously!

    I had the same problem with Truma. I kept turning up the thermostat but it wouldn’t keep up. I called Truma and was told the best setting, when on shore power, is mix 2 which uses very little propane. I tried it and it works well. I think this setting starts out using propane but switches to electric after things get going.

      @kathymcmanus3109 5 років тому

      Libby is owned by Overdrive. It's their updated app that allows you to borrow and read from your library's Overdrive ebook collection. It kind of has replaced the old Overdrive app. You might want to download Libby first and see if your library is listed where you choose your library. Many times libraries join an "ebooks" consortium that may have a different name than your home library, so you might need to know that info before you set up the app. Example; my home library is Marion Co PL, but my elibrary is WVDELI. This information should be on your home library website. Other options for ebooks, if your library subscribes to them, are Axis 360 and Hoopla. I work at a library :)

    Great story and mostly good advise; ... the only thing I disagree somewhat with is/was, if starting/running a business on the road, being willing to put in extra hours. At the start, it's one thing to get established and a semi-consistent income coming in; after that my philosophy is, "there is something 'off' about trading working 9 - 5 while stationary for 9 - 9 while on the road when expenses should be lower to at least some extent."

    I love purchasing honey from local beekeepers. Oh, and did he tell you that a bee 'farm' is called Apiary. I enjoy stories about folks how have their own businesses. I have my own and it's a story, I tell ya, as to how I got to it. I like to see if we have the same inclinations.
