Author: Addicted To Teaching

I am an Air Force veteran turned middle school teacher and Florida native. After my oldest son graduated college and began his career, my husband and I decided to take our youngest son, 2 dogs and the tortoise and start our adventure as full time RVers early. We currently travel around Florida, our home state, exploring places we've loved and dreamed of seeing, learning to live like locals. We will eventually explore the US, but why not start at home? I blog about all things teaching, traveling and family--where ever inspiration takes me.
