About Direction Wide Open
Like most adventurers at heart, we can't help exploring. We are lucky that both of us enjoy traveling - especially riding our motorcycle and sidecar in new places. We are also very fortunate we can do this while working full-time on the road without having to wait for retirement. All this is possible through our 44 foot fifth wheel toy hauler and dually truck which has taken us around the U.S. and Mexico for over five years. Will is a programmer (always has been, always will be) and Lucinda is a travel writer and content developer.
It seems our whole lives have built themselves up to this moment in our lives - one where we can combine our love of working together, motorcycles, careers around the U.S, online skills, organization, living in small places and travel planning, all into one giant, unbelievable experience! We regularly take that experience and review products and services we hope will enhance the lives of all travelers. We also hold RV and motorcycle events to help others learn about traveling with large toys.
We can't thank all our friends and family enough for verbally supporting us in our decision to dump the sticks and bricks and everything that comes with it and jumping into an RV full-time. But thanks for going the extra mile doing research for us, sharing our excitement, and making recommendations for our new life based on their own areas of expertise.
We plan to continue to share the excitement, learning, and adventures with our friends and family - and future friends we meet along the way.
Will & Lucinda Belden
Lucinda Belden
Lucinda Belden has been a travel content writer since 2010 and started RVing full-time in 2019. She is a team writer for several travel magazines, blogs, and books &emdash; Escapees Magazine, RV books on Amazon, RV Travel, RV Destinations Magazine as well as RV LIFE, Lucinda and Will also host RV events and rallies across the U.S. and they share their adventures at Direction Wide Open. If there is anything she has learned, it is to travel like a local, not a tourist, and &emdash; you never stop learning!
Will Belden
Will is a web programmer and systems architect by trade. Days not spent riding are generally spent at the keyboard. If you've seen a DWO video on YouTube, he built it. Will also co-authored a book with Lucinda! He loves sitting down to play some Texas Hold 'Em at the card table when the opportunity arises. Learning new technology is fun, and spending time playing video games when there's a chance, too. Oh, and rewiring things in the RV!
