  • Today we meet Jerry and Marsha, a retired couple who are living full-time now in a Chevy Express cargo van. Jerry had some health issues with his back that forced him into retirement and they both really wanted to see this beautiful country of ours, and doing it in a van seemed like the very best way to do it--so off they went. They both feel that their health has improved since they have lived in the van as stress dropped away and they became more active. Most of us find we walk a great deal more than ever before so being healthier is the natural result.

    God bless them. My husband Jerry and I wanted to be nomad also. Was a big dream for us. He was retired sickly. I retired in 2015. Early for me. We couldn't wait for 65 we just wanted to travel. We was married 46yrs. I lost him in August 😭 2015. I still feel the same way. Well thanks for listening. This couple made me think of my Jerry.

      I'm so sorry for your loss😔 I dread the day. My husband of 41 years has got that cancer, and like the woman in the video I love him more each day. He's up a year more so far than doctors thought he'd have. Each day is precious.

    Marsha and Jerry have the nicest demeanour. And I love hearing the sounds of their voices. 'Back when we were so poor, he was the entertainment.' I suspect that was probably a time when you also realised how rich you really are - no matter what you have. Amazing!

      😃You’re so right! Sometimes I find myself zooming through people’s story so that I can get to the vehicle tour; but, I watched this whole vid and I’m glad I did ... made me smile and feel happy for them.

    Now this is what it's all about! This couple are why I'm still looking to change my life. I love how she saw the change and went right along with it. OMG...a Mando too!!! How awesome was that? I wondered if I would be able to stash my guitar in a small van but looks like they don't have a problem. I wish my father had recognized the need to change before he succumbed to Alzheimer's. You guys have a great time and maybe I'll see you in the byway! She said "He spoils me." 3x in this video. Bless'em!

    @Snarge22 5 років тому

    I'm really liking this fella and how he's been able to "decompress" from the pressures of working the job, paying the bills, and raising kids. Both have probably worked steady from the time they lived with their own parents through their time before marriage, after marriage, and all along the way always most likely just getting by financially (money pressures frequently just around the corner). So now they've set themselves up for a well deserved take their time tour of the US (and likely Canada too). Good for them. My sincere best to Jerry and Marsha.
