Community Spotlight: Teal Albert - From Sugar Beet Harvests to SeRV Ambassadors

Teal Albert • January 5, 2026

Meet the Albert Family: Full-Time Nomads, Roadschoolers & Adventure Seekers

What happens when you trade the white picket fence life for 42 feet of freedom? For Teal Albert and her family, it meant upgrading from a tiny 24-foot travel trailer to a fifth wheel mansion, working the sugar beet harvest in freezing temperatures, becoming SeRV ambassadors, and visiting 25 states in just three and a half years.

In this Community Spotlight, Teal shares even more!

  • Why they ditched successful businesses for life on the road—and never looked back
  • The REAL truth about working the sugar beet harvest (Tune in to find out how much they made in just 2 and a half weeks!)
  • How they manage 12-hour overnight shifts with their kids in tow
  • Their approach to roadschooling (do their kids really do their schoolwork at 3 AM?)
  • How serving others became part of their family's RV lifestyle
  • Why upgrading to a 42-foot rig OPENED doors instead of closing them


The most surprising part? Teal admits she started as a Type-A planner. Tune in to find out how she's learned to roll with it—and her family's adaptability has been the biggest lesson of all.


From piling beets in muddy Minnesota fields to organizing SeRV volunteer events across the country, the Alberts are redefining what full-time family RV life can look like.

Listen to the full Community Spotlight to hear:

  • How they picked their sugar beet harvest crew
  • Why their kids begged to go BACK to the RV after living in a house
  • The unexpected friendships formed at 2 AM on a piling ground
  • Teal's best advice for families considering the beet harvest
  • How to find SeRV volunteer opportunities near you
