  • Success, My Son, and Escaping the Boxed Life
    Bionca Smith was living a comfortable life that most people would define as successful-- a business where she created her own schedule and could work from home, a comfortable place to live, a new car, and a 9-year-old son she adores.

    It's a common assumption that living in a camper is better for the environment-- but is it really? Caroline Winslow, a college student and environmentalist, had the same question when she moved into a van for the start of her senior year.

  • Navigating Romance
    There’s a lot to traveling on the road with a romantic partner that is hard to explain -- like navigating tight living quarters, the special type of intimacy that comes with keeping a similar sleep schedule and buying all of the same groceries, and the behavioral changes that happen when you know that there’s nowhere to retreat in the heat of a disagreement. It’s for this reason that Laura spends this episode bringing us all a little closer to some of the realities of traveling with a significant other by taking a peek into the lives of three different couples living on the road through the women within them.
