Cherie met Chris online after he was already full-time on the road and decided to sell her house to join him. They've been together on the road since 2006 evolving from a 16-foot trailer to a 17-foot trailer to currently a 35-foot vintage bus conversion and a 47-foot motor yacht!

Both Chris and Cherie have backgrounds in tech so they were able to continue working on the road as long as they had an internet connection. As they shared their adventures and travels, they kept getting the same question over and over: How do they stay connected to the mobile internet?

That question eventually led to a book called, The Mobile Internet Handbook. But it turns out mobile internet technology and options change very quickly. So the book quickly led to a website that's constantly being updated with guides and reviews for different internet plans, hardware, and options. They offer a ton of free information while also being member supported so they can remain unbiased with their recommendations.

In this episode, Chris and Cherie give us a general overview of how to approach your mobile internet needs and the options out there. We discuss why it's important to assess your particular needs, the pros and cons to Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite internet plus alternatives you've probably never thought of. They explain how a booster works and if you even need one along with how to maximize your hardware purchases so you don't have to constantly upgrade.

This is an extremely helpful and practical episode with a fun couple of people that you don't want to miss!

Life on the road for Ashley and Lamar began with an 11 week road trip to visit all 48 contiguous states in their Honda Civic. At the end of the trip, it became clear that they both wanted to make traveling a full-time deal. Eventually, they found themselves purchasing a Ford Transit van and being featured on the HGTV show Tiny House, Big Living. The show actually encouraged them to speed up their build timeline and led to an awesome pullout deck in the back of their van along with a loft bed and some of the coolest lighting I've ever seen in a van!

Now they travel full-time with their 4-year-old daughter and pup Beirut while working as tour managers for various brands. What's a tour manager? You'll just have to listen to the episode to get the complete explanation from Ashley and Lamar…

Michael Fuehrer lives full-time in a 35 foot converted school bus. Although he lives by himself, Michael is rarely alone due to the fact that his bus sleeps six people and has the capacity to seat 8 people for dinner! Social interaction and community was Michael's main intention when he renovated his bus allowing him to bring along his friends and the new acquaintances he meets on the road.

After college, Michael discovered that he actually preferred living in a smaller space. He enjoyed the challenge of designing every area to be practical and useful. This eventually led him to Craigslist where he bought the first bus he found, a 2004 Thomas Freightliner for $3600. After 9 months of renovating, his bus was complete with a full shower and toilet, 2 beds, an office, and much much more. Today Michael spends his time traveling around to festivals and events helping folks with their bus renovations.

Michael is such a friendly and helpful guy. In this episode we talk about how to choose the right bus for you, things to look out for when shopping for a bus, what a composting toilet is, what sucks about living on the road, and a lot about Walmart parking lots.
