I am here to tell you that I do not have everything figured out. I might seem like I am living this fabulous traveling life, but it is hard. As a traveler you are constantly having salary changes, unpaid time off, unpaid holidays/sick days and of course changes in routine...
Here is how I keep my life feeling like it is in check: LISTS. Anyone surprised? Everyone who knows me, knows that lists are my jam.
And here is the secret to my list making success, my planner. This is a different brand than I have used in previous years, but I love it! I was able to find mine at TJ Maxx for 7.99 but here it is on
amazon if you want to snag it!

My beautiful, inspirational planner |

Goal tracker page for January |

And the month of January. Can't believe it's almost gone... |
Here's a news flash, I can always find other things I would rather be doing. Sitting down after work and making goals/doing a budget is just not in my life plan. I do however, get a 60 minute lunch which has become my life planning time. I rotate lunch times between doing a bible study, updating and changing my goal tracker or updating my budget. It seems to be working out pretty well!
Now the planner has a budget page, which is super cute but I like to have my excel sheet do math for me. So this year, I have started doing my budget on a google spread sheet. That seems to be helping as well... Super proud of all of my organization in 2019 so far!
I am teaching the professional issues class this semester and I want the students to know all about this option. So...Do you recommend the traveling lifestyle? How long have you gone without a paycheck? Does the company pay any expenses? Is it more expensive to live in an apartment or extended hotel than to have your camper? Is it more/less salary than a full time job? Thanks! I loved my card! Miss you!!!
