The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My husband and I spent 4 years on the road. He retired, I couldn't stand not
working. So our comprimise was travel shoulder and summer seasons, winter
somewhere warm and I'd work. First winter in Florida and clerked in a shoe
store. Nice change, but I missed Twing. Next three winters were spent in an
RV resort park in Mesa, AZ and I worked in Phoenix and Tempe.
The first winter I picked up a contract in Tempe. My co-workers thought it
was a gas that I traveled around. When I left in the spring, I was asked to
come back next winter, and "if you can, would you take jobs while
traveling?" They are still clients today.
I've talked with several hiring managers about out-of-state contracts. Only
one seemed hesitant that I was not local, but when I explained that I'd be
living in ABC RV Resort for the duration, all concerns went away. Give me my
home away from home and my cat, I'm [a] happy [camper].
