 
AboutHave you ever considered taking a long sabbatical to really explore what you want to be when you grow up? In May of 2007, one couple did just that. After years of growing a small, web-based graphic design and large format printing business from their home in rural Humboldt County, CA, the husband and wife team of Jim Nelson and René Agredano began to yearn for a change in scenery. For almost two years, they planned and budgeted to take some time off, see the country, and figure out: what’s next? After taking critical steps necessary to successfully sell their business, the couple marketed and sold their little enterprise in just six months! And they didn’t just sell their business – they sold everything else too; their home and most of their possessions also went. Then, after more research, they purchased a top-of-the-line, four-season 24′ Arctic Fox fifth wheel trailer and a Dodge Ram 2500 that they fuel up with home grown biodiesel whenever possible. In June, 2007, they packed up and began traveling around North America as wandering webpreneurs, with their three-legged dog Jerry in search of the next big thing in the new mobile headquarters of Agreda Communications. Over two years later, these young RVers are still criss-crossing across the country as digital nomads, sharing their road trip experience with others who dream of embarking upon a similar adventure someday.
Jim & René by the mobile Agreda Headquarters in Death Valley What is the meaning of LiveWorkDream? Agreda Communications initially developed the LiveWorkDream.com website to market their home-based graphic production business. Early posts in this blog relate to the sale of the business and transitioning operations to the new owner. Once the deal was done, Jim and René changed the focus of this site to discussion of their new full-time RVing lifestyle and the search for their next dream place to live and work. Readers of Agreda’s LiveWorkDream blog can learn about all facets of the location independent, full-time RV live/work lifestyle Jim and René now enjoy…

Camping vs. Kamping René and Jim have always been – and will once again be – true hardcore back country campers. They used to mock those who swept their tarps, bringing all the comforts of home with them to the campground, and often referred to RVers as kampers – with a K! Now that their only home is wherever they park, they have joined the kamping crowd but still make an effort to camp off the grid whenever possible. This lifestyle change can be attributed to Jerry who lost his leg to dog cancer in November of 2006.
