Teresa & Gary Troy
Teresa is a reader, writer, a creative, and can be rather chatty or so she’s been told.
Gary is a planner, thinker, innovator, creator, researcher. As one family member describes it, he colors outside the lines!
After being self employed for over 35 years, we retired in the Spring of 2018. Then in November of 2019 we sold our home and hit the road… the day after Thanksgiving to be precise. We had been planning this for years! We were ready!
Our Tiny Home: A not-so-tiny 40′ Arctic Fox 35-5Z fifth-wheel is our Glamping unit. We have all the traditional comforts of a stick home with the added benefit of mobility. Along with our tow vehicle, a Chevy Silverado 3500 HD Dually, we’re able to journey comfortably around this spectacular country of ours.
Our goal: To explore the U.S. and travel abroad as well. We love history, nature, architecture, museums, art galleries, hiking, bike riding, getting the flavor of the communities and cities we visit, eating local cuisine, and meeting interesting people along the way!
Timeline: Who knows… as long as our health is good (knock on wood) and we’re enjoying ourselves, we’ll continue to travel around this great country… and beyond.
Our style: We’re planners so we plan our trips many months in advance… knowing that we may have to make alterations and modifications based on life. Covid 19 being a prime example in the spring of 2020.
Where we’re from: We called Nottingham, New Hampshire home for 35 years. We have no children… unless you count six Siberian Huskies over the course of our married life as children. And we actually do count them. When we lost our Kya in the summer of 2018, we decided to take a break from dog parenting since we were going to be traveling more. We now are with Escapees and have a Livingston, TX address… at least that’s where mail gets delivered, but our doctors are in Galveston, TX. Hey, who doesn’t want to be by the beach! We’re in Galveston about two months out of every year and travel the country the rest of the time.
Past work lives: Teresa was a graphic designer for over 30 years. Gary did a variety of things. Our goal was to be self employed. Gary has a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design but his career choices have encompassed plastic housewares product design, footwear design, graphic design, commercial photography, large home renovation contracting work and finally web design. Phew! Quite a list! He’s a handy-sort-of-guy to have around.
