Today I will be speaking with a Workamper who is in her 70s and having the time of her life. She gets to visit places she has always wanted to see, and supports herself through a company she started.

Connie Waddell is a 75-year-old solo traveler who proves that adventure has no age limit.

Born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Connie grew up camping. But, three and a half years ago, she decided to jump into RV life full-time.

She chose a high-top camper van for its convenience and maneuverability. Today, she spends her days boondocking on national forest and BLM land while savoring the freedom of the open road.

Since launching full-time, Connie has been chasing quiet sunsets and waking up to mountain views.

She said the freedom offered by the Workamping lifestyle has been a true gift. But, the most meaningful part has been the incredible people she has met along the way. Several of her fellow travelers have become very close friends.

Connie started Roam Free Threads as a purposeful way to support herself while traveling.

What started as an idea for mugs and T-shirts has grown into an online store offering more than 225 designs. Many of the designs were inspired by her own experiences and those of her fellow nomads.

They include humorous takes about living life in a camper as well as seasonal and pet-themed shirts, Connie’s creativity allows her to enjoy the benefits of Workamping without the demands of a traditional job.

Along the way, Connie has explored some incredible places. Alaska tops her list of favorite destinations. That’s where she worked at a wilderness lodge and marveled at the beauty of the mountains, lakes and even the Northern Lights.

She also treasures her time in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This summer, she is boondocking near Flagstaff, Ariz., not too far from the Grand Canyon.

Connie has traveled extensively throughout the western United States and is now planning adventures that will take her east to pursue dreams of living in Maine or even Newfoundland.
