GUEST BIO
Mary Walker is the founder of Life in the RV and has spent the past eight years traveling full-time with her husband, Tim. After losing her sister at 51 and Tim’s brother to a drunk driver at just 27, they realized how short and unpredictable life can be. That wake-up call inspired them to sell their home, buy an RV, and start truly living life on their own terms.
Today, Mary is passionate about helping others do the same. Through her signature six-month program, GPS to Full-Time RV Living, she walks people step-by-step through every stage of the transition—from dreaming and downsizing to hitting the road with confidence by summer. Her mission is to show that it’s never too late to choose freedom, simplify your life, and create a lifestyle filled with purpose, adventure, and connection.
