Matt McConaughey is my New Idol

So, Matt McConaughey was on Jimmy Kimmel last week, and he was talking about his Airstreams! He owns three Airstreams

He was talking about how he must - at a minimum - go on at least one 6-week road trip per year. And his sage advice was:

"...when embarking on a road-trip, when you think you've gone far enough, go just a little bit farther." This is where the true rewards come from.

I felt as though he was literally speaking TO ME. This is a dream of mine. To travel all of North America on an unscripted journey in an RV or similar traveling device. No schedule. No plan.

As a trader with a satellite internet connection, I could work from anywhere. So, it wouldn't even technically be a "vacation", but it would be in so many ways.

I need to make enough money soon so my wife no longer has to work and can therefore travel with me. There's no way she'd let me go alone for 6+ weeks..... though a man can dream :)
