Alan and Kim Sneed – Combining Workamping with a remote career


Listen Later

This week, I am speaking with a couple who made the leap into full-time RV living after raising their family and deciding it was time for a new chapter.

Alan Sneed spent 30 years in the Department of Defense and the military, while his wife, Kim, built a career in school district communications and now works remotely in the architectural field.

In this conversation, Alan and Kim share how they transitioned into Workamping about a year after going full-time on the road and why the lifestyle appealed to them.

Alan explains how Workamping keeps him active while giving them the freedom to travel, and Kim offers insight into balancing a remote career with life in an RV.

They also talk about choosing locations, what types of jobs they look for and how they prioritize flexibility over long work hours.

You will hear about their favorite destinations, including time spent in Colorado, how they manage connectivity with tools like Starlink and cellular service and what they look for when evaluating potential Workamping opportunities.

They also discuss the importance of communication with employers, setting expectations and finding the right fit for their lifestyle.

If you have ever considered Workamping or full-time RV living, Alan and Kim provide a practical and honest look at what it takes to make it work and how to enjoy the journey along the way.

Rather than rushing from place to place, they focus on moving slowly, staying long enough to explore each area and choosing jobs that allow them to maintain flexibility.

For them, Workamping is less about working full-time and more about creating a balanced life that includes travel, meaningful experiences and time together.

Alan emphasized the importance of treating the job interview process as a two-way conversation, making sure expectations are clear on both sides.

From asking about equipment and job duties to understanding the work schedule, those early conversations can make or break the experience.

Kim added that communication is just as important when traveling as a couple, especially when one partner is working remotely.

They also highlighted the value of being selective when choosing positions by looking for opportunities that offer a full hookup site and reasonable hours, while avoiding roles that demand too much time.

If you would like to follow Alan and Kim’s journey, you can find them online through their brand 99 Adventures RV.  They share their experiences about Workamping, full-time RV living and travel tips on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
