Latest ‘Rootless Living’ Magazine Celebrates Anniversary

EDITOR’S NOTE: The November/December issue of Rootless Living, a consumer-facing nomadic lifestyle magazine, has just been published. Here’s what Publisher Demian Ross and Chief Editor Nikki Kirk have to say about this issue:

AS I WRITE this, we have just hit our three-year mark for Rootless Living magazine, and what an amazing adventure it has been.

Some of you might know that back in 2016, I thought I invented the idea of going full time in an RV while still working. I had no one in my life that was doing this or talking about it, and as I researched for our launch, I was shocked when I learned that more than a million Americans live and travel full time in an RV.

Why had I never heard of this lifestyle? It was common knowledge that some people RV full time during retirement, so it seemed obvious to me that people who could work remotely would choose to live this way as well. But even though I knew and followed thousands of people online, I hadn’t come across anyone who was RVing full time.

When I started digging deeper and found all the blogs and YouTube channels about the lifestyle, I assumed there must be a magazine, too — but there wasn’t.

Rootless Living is not the first magazine I’ve published, so I knew that just because there was a need, it didn’t mean I should rush and launch a magazine before I had a full understanding of the subject matter. But after two full years of RVing full time, we were ready — we announced Rootless Living in November 2019, and you are now reading our 18th issue.

I am so grateful to my co-founder, Nikki Kirk, and our team, who have really taken ownership of what we started and made it better and better with every issue. And a big thank you to all of you who are living the lifestyle for reaching out to us to share your stories and experiences … the good, the bad, and the beautiful.

And that is still very important to us! We want people who are out living this lifestyle to be the ones sharing about it. This isn’t full-time RV theory, and it isn’t only Demian’s thoughts on RV life — this is the true experience of others who are living the life, at all different levels of expertise, and with tons of different ways of approaching the journey.

We are very proud of how diverse and inclusive our contributors have been, and we want to keep it that way moving forward. If you have a story to share that you think could inspire others, please reach out and let us help share your story. It might be the one that encourages someone to make the leap into a lifestyle they didn’t think they could do.
