About this listen
Almost every couple faces a "now what?" moment as their last kid moves out of the house. There's a big empty nest looming over this new and uncertain stage in their lives.
David and Veronica James chose to look at this next phase of life as a beginning instead of an ending. Rather than staying put and facing the constant reminders of empty bedrooms and backseats, a plan began to develop to sell the nest and hit the highway. But could a homebody helicopter mom learn to let go of her heartstrings and house keys all at once?
Filled with a sense of adventure and humor, Going Gypsy is the story of a life after raising kids that is a celebration of new experiences. Pulling the rip cord on the daily grind, David and Veronica throw caution to the wind, quit their jobs, sell their house, put on their vagabond shoes, and go gypsy in a beat-up old RV found on eBay. On a journey of over 10,000 miles along the back roads of America (and a hysterical, error-infused side trip into Italy), they conquer old fears, see new sights, reestablish bonds with family and friends, and transform their relationships with their three grown children from parent-child to adult-to-adult. Most importantly, they rediscover in themselves the fun-loving youngsters who fell in love three decades prior.

Thoroughly Wonderful!
This book absolutely hit the sweet spot big-time for me - I couldn't have loved it more - unless there was a sequel!!
Its not often that I hear people actually verbalise the way that we also chose to parent, and it was an absolute delight to listen to like-minded folk.
As an empty-nester Mumma of 7, who was super-excited to get some of my Life back to be able to live and learn for myself and not just for my kids - I related to this book on a super-deep level.
Additionally, we have recently purchased a courier-van that we are converting to a home-on-wheels, so an extra layer of commonality and connection was had.
Love, love LOVED it!
Highly recommended - bring on the sequel.
