About Camille Attell:

Camille is no stranger to finding remote work in an RV. In 2016, she walked away from a 20-year career in corporate training to travel full-time in her RV. Since then, she’s visited 31 states and covered almost 30,000 miles.
At first, Camille did a variety of jobs to try to make money from an RV. She picked up random jobs online including an acting gig, blogged over at her website, More Than a Wheelin, worked as a Pinterest assistant and created and sold her own physical products.
She really found her niche when she created Remote Work School, an online course and coaching program that teaches you how to work from your RV or campervan.
About Sharee Collier:
Sharee, her husband and four kids wanted a new life back in 2013. They were bored with the status quo, so decided to try RVing. They figured they could make money on the road by workamping, so joined Amazon Camperforce.
Sharee also runs LiveCampWork.com, which provides a central resource for RVers looking for information on RV jobs and how to make money on the road. The site also includes tips on location-independent careers.
Sharee has hands on experience in working seasonal RV jobs as well as being a digital nomad with a full-time remote career. Her goal is to pass on useful information that helps those interested in RVing reach their dreams fast with the fewest number of hurdles possible!
