"Sur la Route de la Liberte" - (On the Road to Freedom) - One day, they cast off, quit their dream jobs, and set off on an adventure. These new vagabonds, who reconnect with the American myth of the road, discover the thrill of independence and the feeling of having finally found themselves. Along the way, vocations are born. When she left her job in Austin, Texas, to hit the road, Amie Sikes had no idea that her wandering mood would give rise to a thriving business. “I sold my car to buy a big pickup truck that I painted pink, and I started scouring Texas flea markets, a trailer attached to the back. Without even planning it, I had become a successful antiques dealer,” says Amie. Very quickly, her sister Jolie quit her job, shortly after receiving her master’s degree, to join her. At the wheel of Large Marge the two vagabond bargain hunters are living their dream.
