My husband, David, and I are very excited about our memoir Going Gypsy: One Couple's Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All! GoingGypsyBook.com - now available wherever books are sold.

Upon sending our youngest out into the big, wide world, we set out to break the empty nest rules by selling everything and hitting the road. To become more than empty nesters, to be gypsies, GypsyNesters!

Along the way, we rediscovered the couple who fell in love years ago. We've been full-time travelers since 2008.

Visit us at our website - GypsyNester.com.

The easy answer is that social media is social - we really appreciate every comment, question, and share we receive - and we make sure that we show that appreciation. It's also very important to be authentic. Don't try to copy what other folks are doing - be yourself.

The longer version is here (I found that I was being asked about this often enough that we wrote a post): http://www.gypsynester.com/travel-blo...

Hope this helps, and if you have any more questions - just ask!

When to Visit Uganda’s National Parks for the Best Wildlife:

Uganda, the Pearl of Africa

Uganda is such a lovely country, all green and smiling. Mountains standing tall, lakes shining bright, and animals walking free like they own the land. People say Uganda is where Africa’s heart beats wild. From morning mist on forest to golden sunset over savanna, every time of year brings something new, something magic.

Quotes by Veronica James  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The kids have grown into full-sized Homo sapiens fully capable of feeding themselves. The time had come to let them do their own hunting and gathering. When they get hungry enough, they will find food. But they have to learn to do it for themselves. Otherwise, they’ll end up like zoo animals. When tigers get fed every day, they never learn to hunt. If they’re released into the wild, they starve.”
Veronica James, Going Gypsy: One Couple's Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All
