Adventure Van Expo Winter Park 2026

Graciela Szwarcberg and Hector Porch, an Australian couple married for 50 years, have spent 13 years traveling the world in an RV. They camped at Lake Farmington in New Mexico on July 15–16, 2026. The couple bought the RV in France in 2013 and live off-grid, without credit cards and with only one phone. They cook from scratch, shop at local markets, and immerse themselves in local cultures. The RV is covered with stickers of flags from every country and U.S. state they have visited.

On Friday, an RV caught fire in Oscar Scherer State Park in Osprey, Florida. One person was injured and taken to a hospital. Sarasota County Fire Department responded to the incident.
