    Who are we?
    We’re Victoria & Craig, a full-time travel couple currently living the RV lifestyle! In 2021, we realized life was too short to wait to chase our dreams, so we purchased a used fifth wheel camper and completely renovated it. After selling our house in Florida, we set off on our journey as full-time RVers. Full time RV living has taken us across the United States, Baja Mexico, and Canada, where we’ve fallen in love with boondocking in stunning locations and living an epic adventure travel lifestyle. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100.
    Join us as we explore new destinations and embark on new adventures. From hiking, rock climbing, and paddle boarding to surfing, off-road exploring, and cooking around a campfire, we live our travel couple lifestyle to the fullest!

    Wait until you get into Loreto. We spent one week at the Villa Del Palmar Islands of Loreto in 2020. Which is about 30 minutes south of Loreto. We are going back this October for another week. The weather in April is a lot warmer as well as October. In fact, Loreto is the second place we are thinking of retiring. Have fun guys.

    If you guys keep putting out content like this, your channel is going to grow so fast!! Oh and we’re super envious of your location btw haha. I didn’t see one spec of pollen which is the opposite of Mississippi right now. That tamale looked delicious. I had an authentic tamale in Mexico in 2008 when we made a church mission trip there to help rebuild a church. Safe travels and keep the great content coming. God bless!

    • @wildrvlife

    Hi guys... The sunset was awesome... We thought Craig was gonna sink out of sight for a moment... That's a beautiful spot that you were in... When you left to go in town did you leave your dogs in the camper... And also when you crossed over the border did you have any weapons with you... Have never been down that way so this is a total new adventure for us to be with you on this trip.... And my wife and I both agree you guys are the cutest couple... Thanks for the video and please stay safe...J&A

    Thanks so much for sharing guys! We are getting geared up to travel Baja this winter :) I had a quick question about bringing your dogs. We have a big furry dog and he can be reactionary. We keep him on a leash but did you guys have any issues with stray dogs or anything like that? Any issues keeping them in your RV when you were out and about doing stuff you couldn’t bring them with? Any other advice or tips would be super helpful! Thanks so so much!

    EH (from the Cannuck that does not say "EH") Victoria and Craig, how are you guys doing? Hunkering down in Carolina, in the snow??? Wazzup with that? I know doing Xmas with the family... I have a question, I know you guys said that Baja in a 5th wheel was a mistake, but would you go back with your Brinkley? I'm planning on going in the fall/winter/spring 2025/2026... Think about it. you have my email, let's talk.

    • @wildrvlife
      @wildrvlife  Před 7 měsíci

      Hey!! We’re doing good, a little cold LOL - would rather have Baja winter weather for sure!
      Baja in a fifth wheel is definitely more of a challenge than a smaller rig, but we don’t think it was a mistake overall and do hope to go back (yes, even in the Brinkley!). We’ll just stick to the places we know are big rig friendly, we actually wrote a blog post on our top 10 big rig spots down there, which might be helpful for planning: wildrvlife.com/blog/big-rv-destinations-baja-mexico/

      I can just hear Craig in the background ( it's cold here, I don't want to be in this snow, it's cold...🥶 ) hehehe, just teasing. That's what I also thought, it's more of a challenge, but if you are a good driver and you don't do it at night😲 some folks would, I'm NOT one of them, I'm a day only traveller. Anyhoo, be good and enjoy your WHITE Xmas, EH!!! 😎. Thank you for sharing all of your road experience.

      Disculpame por ser tan grosero, pero ya los comenzamos a ver como que atentan contra nuestra hospitalidad y no muchos no vienen de visita, sino a vivir y sentirse dueños de esta tierra, lo cual repudiamos ampliamente.
