WE’RE THE SCHAFERS!
Come along with us on our journey as a family of five living and traveling full time in our camper! In October of 2021, we made the decision to leave our staff nursing jobs to allow Matt to work nursing contracts while Meg stayed with the kids to allow us more time together as a family and explore the world around us! Matt started our working in our home state of Indiana as a travel nurse. During our Indiana contract, we sold our house and property, bought a camper, and moved into our camper full time to test the waters of full time RV living! And guess what!? We LOVED it! Following that contract, in July of 2022, we set out for Arizona for our first out of state contract. On Matt’s days off, we love being able to go exploring and sharing our experiences with you!
Matt was born and raised in Indiana. A two time Purdue alumni, becoming a nurse in 2014, he has a passion for helping his patients and is no doubt working in the field he was meant to be! He loves hunting, hiking, driving his truck, and wherever life leaves him to explore!
Meg was also born and raised in Indiana. She graduated and became a nurse in 2017. Her passion includes working in the NICU and with cancer patients. Although she is still a nurse, she is spending her time caring for Vincent, Chloe, and Olivia while also blogging and making little girls hairbows in her spare time. Meg loves to cook, hike, read, and explore the sites.
Vincent became a part of our family by way of adoption and was a huge answer to our prayers. He is a wonderful big brother, loves to go on hikes with us, and do all the things little boys love to do! He is the most social kid and not embarrassed by anything! He is loving this RV way of life!
Chloe & Olivia were adopted by way of embryo adoption which allowed Meg to carry them in pregnancy! They were born two months early but were super strong and continue to have such strong personalities that are far from the same! Chloe is bashful and quiet yet loves a good adrenaline rush! When she speaks up, its always something worth hearing! Olivia is a social butterfly, and talks more than the other two combined! She’s so animated and loves to be involved in everything, and definitely a fashionista!
Titus is our beloved Great Dane who we brought home in 2017 and spends his days lounging wherever he pleases, going on walks, and bathing in the sun. He has a talent for curling up in the tiniest places most Great Danes wouldn’t fit!
There you have it! That’s the Schafers in a nutshell! We are just an ordinary family on an extraordinary journey wherever God leads us!
