In 2009, you would have thought the Works family had it all. Newlyweds Josh and Jessa had great jobs, moved into a huge 5-bedroom house in Kansas (they're both natives), and welcomed their son, a little boy named Josh, into the world.
But in 2011, they became tired of their routine and yearned for something more. They wanted to be better with their money and their time. And they also wanted to see the country with their son.
Both Josh and Jessa worked from computers as designers and would be able to work from anywhere, so they made a dramatic decision: Sell everything they own, buy a 27-foot Airstream bus, and hit the road.
They set their sights on becoming full-time travelers and freelancers - with no return trip planned. They spent 18 months planning their big move.
All of their photos are organized on their travel blog by state. From the Dakotas:
To Hawaii:
To Georgia:
And everywhere else.
