Meet the Rutherfords

We are Derek and Evelyn Rutherford.  Both adventurers at heart who love to travel and explore new places.  Derek was born in Scotland and grew up in Australia.  I was born in England and grew up in South Africa.  We met in South Africa and after getting married decided to emigrate to Canada.  

Full-time RV Living is Fun!
