Rae Crothers

Rae hit the open road from Ottawa, Ontario, in September 2008 and she hasn't looked back. She has traveled across the continent to the Pacific Coast; been to Yukon, Alaska, and the western Arctic; and ventured into the northwest United States. Along the way, she has accumulated dings on her rig as she learned how to drive a 50' rig consisting of a 31' motorhome and a sub-compact towed behind, and innumerable friends.

Frustrated with the lack of resources for Canadian full-timers, she decided to collaborate with another Canadian full-timer to write the ebook she wished had existed when she hit the road: Full-Time RVing in Canada.

In the early stages of planning her switch to full-time RVing, Rae set up a blog for chronicling her adventures. Travels With Miranda discusses all aspects of full-timing life. Dig through the archives for everything from travel destination information to RV renovation tips.

Rae is quite handy and there are plenty of 'did it myself' posts balanced by quite a few 'I can't believe I did that' anecdotes. They can be found on her Travels With Miranda lens.

Rae has written a number of ebooks as well as RVing articles.

Check out her lens about full-timing that features her ebook Sorting It Out and the one for hiking the Chilkoot Trail, which mentions her ebook Echoes of '98: Hiking the Chilkoot Trail in the 21st Century.

All of Rae's ebooks are available in her online store.

Rae has also written a number of articles for the online magazine Suite101.

In February 2011, Rae had the opportunity to present a seminar on living the full-time RVing lifestyle pre-retirement. This seminar is available at no charge through her online store.

Rae got a lot of media exposure that week, including a spot on the Global BC morning show and a full quarter-page write up in the Vancouver Sun's A section: From unhappy hoarder to queen of the road. She also had a number of radio interviews, including one with News1130.

Raised in Quebec and having done her schooling in both official languages, Rae is fluent in both French and English.

She has more than fifteen years of translation experience in a number of fields. She has also branched out into general transcription in both languages, with some experience with legal transcription.
