Kim Spurlock – A new life at 65

Today I am speaking with a woman who has been Workamping for one employer for many years, but decided she would like to spread her wings to a different part of the country.

Workamper Kim Spurlock is embracing a new chapter in life a few months before she turns 65.

A few years ago, she transitioned from a career in nursing into the Workamping lifestyle. She describes how that leap opened the door to new experiences she wasn’t expecting, such as managing a bait shop at a fishing camp in Arkansas.

In this episode, Kim talks about what draws people into the Workamping lifestyle, how to get started even without prior experience, and why it is never too late to try something completely different.

Kim also talks about the freedom that comes with living and working on the road, the importance of taking things slow and how Workamping has allowed her to connect with others while building a life on her own terms.

If you have ever wondered whether you could step into the RV or Workamping lifestyle later in life, Kim’s story shows you can learn as you go and still enjoy the journey along the way.

Kim’s story is a great example of what makes the Workamping lifestyle so appealing. She stepped into something new, learned skills along the way and found joy in helping others enjoy their experiences.

From running a bait shop to managing cabins and creating welcoming environments for guests, Kim discovered that being a people person is one of the most valuable traits a Workamper can have.

She also highlighted the importance of planning ahead, taking your time on the road and being open to opportunities, which she hopes will lead her to the East Coast, Oregon or somewhere in between.

Most importantly, Kim reminded us that Workamping offers freedom. It is a chance to choose how you spend your time, where you go and how you build a lifestyle that fits what you like to do.

If you are an employer looking for someone with management experience, a strong work ethic and a passion for helping people to enjoy a great time, Kim would love to connect. You can reach her directly by email at kym4041@gmail.com.
