Thre was only one time I actually had to sit somewhere with WiFi at the Grand Tetons. “I have unlimited data so use my phone as a hotspot. “I usually do client calls from my car,” said Rene. She sets up coaching calls with students over Whatsapp, Facetime or Skype, and has a website: Rene has a college admissions counseling business she can do from anywhere. But no problem! The two are able to work while traveling in their Roofnest Eagle. Rene and Mike are in their early 60s, so aren’t retired just yet. Choose your adventure story – and we choose every day, wake up and choose the way you live your life.” How the two make money on the road We aren’t having an empty nest, we are having an adventure – nest. People who have raised children have this empty nest phase – or they are at an age where they aren’t working and don’t know what to do. “I won’t want to have money in a piece of property which means I can’t go do things. “We like to do things, go places, hike, be outside,” she said. Rene says there’s a word called Coddiwomple which means determinedly adventuring toward an unknown destination. She went onto add that some people are concerned by their houselessness, and wonder if they’re okay or are in trouble. Sometimes, their friends ask this: “When are you going to buy a house?” Instead of having an “empty nest”, we are a couple living the adventure nest life – exploring and meeting wonderful people and places along the way. This is Rene and Mike’s motto as written on their blog, The Adventure Nest: The Adventure Nest is both an attitude and a physical place. Living in a Roofnest camper isn’t a typical lifestyle for empty-nesters. “Our friends think we’re crazy sometimes” The couple put extra strips of rubber on each rung to create grip and soften the climb, but it’s a little uncomfortable when climbing up and down the ladder barefoot. “If you have to go to the bathroom 40 times per night this might not be the right setup for you,” said Rene. Setting up camp in rain and inclement weather doesn’t scare the Manley’s as they lived for 30 years in Oregon.
When closed, the rooftop tent is under a foot tall. It’s roomy inside with side pockets for storage and twinkle lights hanging on the ceiling. The Roofnest Eagle is easy to set up and take down. “There have been a couple times when we stopped at a hotel and we just wanted to go back to our bed in the Roofnest.” “We put in a 3-inch mattress topper and we have our sleeping bags on that, so it’s very cushy,” said Rene. They also visited Tenessee, Glacier National Park, Walla-Walla, the Grand Tetons, the Badlands, Minnesota, Iowa, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.Īnd it’s so far, so good in the rooftop tent. They traveled 9,600 miles, as far east as Vermont and as far north as Canada. Rene and Mike first mounted their new home on the Mazda August 2019, then blasted off on an epic trip.
