About Blimpy

This site is the story of a man (Blimpy Backgammon) from Calgary AB, Canada who made the electrifying realization that there’s more to life than working for the man or owning a condo.

So he quit his job, sold all his stuff, bought an RV (Bessie) the same age as him (27) and can now go anywhere and do anything, whenever he wants.
