Melanie Cowpland has traveled the world her entire life and wanted to give her daughter, Sofie, a similar childhood.  She thought the dream was lost when Sofie suddenly became very afraid of the world around her and only agreed to leave the house for a weekly pilgrimage to McDonalds. At age 4, she was diagnosed with Autism and the answer became obvious to Mel. Buy a motorbike, attach a sidecar to it, and spend a year traversing Europe & Africa teaching her daughter real-world life skills. Does Mel prove the old saying right, a mom knows best? Listen to find out.

Most people drive the PanAmerican Highway in one long trip of a lifetime, but Monica and Jeff are not most people. They traversed 80,000 miles over three years, stopping in-between to check in at home, work, and rebuild their cars. Overlanding is their lifestyle and they aren't stopping until they've seen the world.  

Ep. 10 It's Not a Trip, it's a Lifestyle | @overlandtheworld

Who traverses Africa in a Porsche? Who crosses Asia in a corvette? Who decides they must drive from the northern most pub in the world to the southern most pub in the world in a green TVR? Ben Coombs, that’s who. Download today’s episode to hear directly from the guy who completed the longest journey ever made by a sports car.  

Ep 9: Unlikely Adventure Mobiles | @pub2pub_ben

Gabs & Sandro diligently saved for a year long trip from the United States to Patagonia in their VW Synchro. 6 months into their trip they realized they still hadn’t even left Mexico and had zero desire to return home to Switzerland. With a dwindling bank account, they decided to leverage their backgrounds and become digital nomads, launching a communication agency from the road. We dive into their tactics, their budget, and also, their life as vegans!

Ep 8: Making it "Work" | @vanabundos

The sight of an ambulance often induces a sense of anxiety or fear in most people, but Ian is not like most people. He took a $500 ambulance on ebay and turned it into a stunning modern apartment on wheels with details like subway tile back splashes, tiek floors, and a rooftop deck. We dive into his experience designing and building a luxury rig, but also his experience as a single guy on the road. How do you get a girl to come back to an…ambulance?
