Welcome to Conversations with Nomads! I'm your host, Rachel, and if you've been following our nomadic adventures, you know things have been a rollercoaster lately. Living the digital nomad life in our ex-met police riot van, Kevlar, with my partner Cam and our two furry companions, Odin and Heimdall, has its ups and downs, and recently we have hit some bumps!
In this debut episode, I'm spilling the tea on what's been happening in our world. From the highs of exploring Scotland to the lows of van troubles, it's been a wild ride. Just when we were reveling in the beauty of Scotland, our van started making ominous noises. Cue panic mode!
After a heart-wrenching decision to leave Scotland and head back to Surrey for repairs, we were hit with a whopping repair quote that left us speechless. But that was just the beginning of our garage saga. Misdiagnoses, overcharging, and dangerous oversights had us questioning our sanity. Who knew being a "YouTube certified mechanic" would become part of Cam's repertoire?
But hey, every cloud has a silver lining! While we're tackling oil leaks and DIY fixes, we're also planning our next adventure. With Taylor Swift's concert in Wembley as our only set plan this summer, we're gearing up for more time on the road. From raptor-paint makeovers to navigating the challenges of van life in the south of England, we've got plenty of stories to share.
Whether you're a seasoned nomad or just curious about life on the road, hit that play button and let's dive into the conversation.
