Traveling full time alone can get.. kinda lonely to say the least. But is that a bad feeling or something we should come to appreciate? This week I talk all about my perspective on loneliness, how I cope with it, and what I do for human connection when I need it.

How I Cope with Loneliness

Ever wondered what it would be like to explore the world in 70 square feet entirely alone? On “My Solo Road”, Sydney brings you along her journey of traveling in a van as a solo female. While tackling struggles such as safety, finances, and loneliness, she also shares stories about life on the road, every day experiences, and how she got here. Grab a glass of wine or a beer (she’s got one) and learn how one woman escaped her 80 hour work week to live a messy, yet beautiful dream.

Van Life at 19 & Why She’s Leaving Europe | ft. Abigail Martin

From van life to cabin life, my guests today are giving us the inside view of what it’s like to do both! Jaz and Crystal, also known as @vanwives, are with me today to talk all about off-grid living and content creation! They have been building an off-grid cabin for the past year and documenting it all along the way. We talk about short form vs long form content, tips on starting a YouTube channel, and what it’s been like building a cabin in a Canadian winter. Do they freeze in the outhouse? Do they regret their decision? Listen to this week’s episode to find out!

Today we are joined by one of the most positive and uplifting couples I know, Sam & Kelly! They have been such great friends over the past few years and I can’t wait for you to hear all about their journey from being a couple in high school to living in a van with their dog sunny! We get into how van life has impacted their long-term relationship, prioritizing hobbies for joy (whether you’re in a van or not), and what they are manifesting for the future.
