Who We Are: Starting Full-Time RV Life in Our 50s (With 2 Dogs)
Every journey has a starting point. For us it was in 2024 with our plan to start traveling and this video was our introduction and the kick-off of our YouTube Channel to help us document our RV Travels.
We weren't looking at heading to just a place on a map…
But towards memories, and a commitment to making travel a way of life.
For us, it wasn’t loud.
It wasn’t dramatic.
It was a quiet realization:
There had to be more than just going through the motions of everyday life.
And that’s where Worries Empty begins.

🎥 Watch Our First Video (The Beginning)
This video isn’t just our first upload…
It’s our introduction.
Our “why.”
The moment we stopped talking about this life—and actually stepped into it.
We made it and looking back on it it was wonky, awkward, and we realized we had a lot to learn and as we proceeded we think (maybe falsely) that we got better.
👉 Watch the full video below to meet us and see how it all started.
🛣️ Why We Chose RV Life
This wasn’t about running away from something.
It was about moving toward something better.
More freedom.
More experiences.
More time together.
And if we’re being real…
Less “we’ll do it someday.”
Because someday has a way of turning into never and that wasn't what we wanted to do we wanted to start now and figure it out even if we didn't have all the answers we would just roll with it.
🐾 Meet Lucy & Ethel (The Real Bosses)
We don’t travel alone.
Lucy and Ethel—our two Shih Tzus—are part of every mile, every stop, and every story.
They’ve adapted to RV life better than we expected…and honestly, they’ve become a big part of, why we love it so much. We take them everywhere, Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Washington, the beach, Mt. Rushmore, literally everyplace we can take them we try.
Stick around long enough—you’ll see what we mean by taking them everywhere
🎯 The Intent Behind This Journey
We didn’t start Worries Empty to impress anyone, we did it for us
We started the YouTube Channel to be real.
To show:
What RV life is actually like
The mistakes people don’t talk about
And the lessons we’re learning along the way
Because real life doesn’t come perfectly edited.
And neither will this journey.
🔥 What “Worries Empty” Really Means
Tanks Full. Worries Empty.
It’s not about having a perfect life.
It’s about choosing a different one.
Letting go of what doesn’t matter…
And holding tight to what does.
💭 What You Can Expect From Us
If you follow along, you’ll start to see our journey in the form of;

Honest campground and destination reviews
Mistakes (we’ll make plenty)
Practical tips we wish we knew earlier
A little humor along the way

🧭 What’s Coming Next

If you’ve ever felt that pull…
That quiet voice telling you there’s more out there—
