Going mobile: Couples combine work and travel

In a week, Rusty and Diane Oleszewski will pack their belongings into a 400-square-foot camper and set off on a nomadic life.

The Manor Township couple is joining the growing number of "workampers," folks who live fulltime out of a camper or RV while they do seasonal work wherever the road and the opportunities take them.

The Oleszewskis are headed to a dude ranch in North Carolina, where he will do maintenance and she will cook for guests until December. After that, well, who knows?

"I guess my wife and I are kind of risk-takers a little bit," Oleszewski, 52, said. "We don't have any children, so we've lived by the motto of 'Let's not find ourselves in 20 years down the road saying we should have done that or should have tried that.' "

They cook and clean, answer the phones, cut the grass, run amusement park rides and shuttle guests here and there.
