Meet the couple who sold everything they owned - including their $3.5 million home - to live a motorhome with their four kids. Landon Jones, 41, and his wife Kami, 33, quit their jobs and bought a 400-square-foot motorhome to travel around the United States.
The couple felt that their lifestyle didn't line up with their priorities, such as family, and decided to reevaluate their situation. Besides their home, in Columbine Valley, Colorado, USA, the couple also sold several vehicles and farming property worth $2.1 million.
The family of six, who were used to the high life, now live on the road in a motor home they bought for $500,000. Landon was a national sales director at Stryker, a medical tech company, while Kami was a stay-at-home mum.
His job had afforded him the dream home, farming property and every luxury that a position at a Fortune 500 company can offer, even so, the grind was too much. For the couple it was a no brainer - they had to focus on spending more time with their family and living a simpler lifestyle.
Landon said: "When we looked at our calendars, we saw that they didn't mimic what our priorities where. We, as a family, decided that we really wanted to prioritise what mattered most to us, and at the top of that list was faith, and right under that was family. Part of that is giving up some of our earthly possessions."
In the summer of 2021, they decided to give it all up and Landon gave the firm his six-month notice. In April 2022, their dream finally came true and they moved into their 400-square-foot motor home.
Their new home is fully equipped with a kitchenette, a bathroom, washing and drying machines and bunks to house all six family members. Landon said: "At the end of the day, we were so convicted. We have this small window of time, to raise these boys that god gave us, to raise them the right way."
Once the family hit the road, they knew they had made the right decision. Landon and Kami began homeschooling their sons and they felt absolute freedom for the first time.
He added: "It was extremely liberating knowing that every single day, what we did, how we did it, and who we did it with, was at our discretion. For the first time the calendar was out the window and we were completely present, and we were able to be completely present with our children."
The boys, Arlo, two, Otis, three, Winston, five, and Julius, seven, are homeschooled for a couple of hours a day and have their learning supplemented by their travels.
Landon added: "Learning has become so fun and we're doing it together. There is an amazing community of people that live similar lifestyles to us.
"So when we arrive at a campsite there's an abundance of children that can relate to our boys."
The family has received criticism for how extravagant their life appears with a 400sq-ft RV, but Landon acknowledges this good-naturedly. He said: "To put it in perspective. It is a very nice RV. But this is our everything, and the median cost of a home in Denver was six-hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We did not exceed that, and the RV was less than a tenth the cost of out old home."
