Aleja and Blake Briles sold their home in Dallas and bought a $100,000 RV to tour the country. They didn't anticipate the challenges RV life would present, especially parking outside of RV parks. Their advice for people new to RV life is to plan your visits ahead and expect to make repairs. We lived in that house for four and a half years, then we sold it in 2021 to do this. The certain RV lifestyle that we chose was more off-grid and out in nature and not tucked into an RV park.

[1/3] Awatif Al-Keneibit, a Saudi artist, shows her art in her studio, an art-form previously frowned upon in the country but now gaining more acceptance, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, March 9, 2023. Her exposition includes ceramic faces, some with hollow eyes, others wearing eye glasses, and figurines of Saudi Arabian women, displayed on red bricks and coloured to reflect traditional desert dresses. "Who could have imagined that one day, this exhibition, which was in a basement, could be displayed in Olaya (downtown Riyadh)?" said Keneibit, 60, who is blazing a trail for women in the arts in Saudi Arabia's conservative male-dominated society. U.S.-educated Keneibit said she resorted to creating a private gallery at the bottom of her house for friends and guests after a public exhibition was banned in 2009.
