  • Nature Mama Reads: Alessandra Hurt
    For many reasons, many of us have been traveling less and reading more right now, which is why hearing from mother, outdoor adventurer, Licensed Nursing Assistant, and book reviewer Alessandra Hurt is especially important right now. Because what we can learn from stillness, BIPOC authors, accessible travel, and Alessandra’s insights on motherhood are all lessons we can use to make our world a better place.

  • Listen to This: Let’s Talk Mental Health
    Grizel is a Latinx mental health therapist, former van dweller, writer, thru hiker, photographer, and host of our team’s latest show, Underneath It All-- a series where the outdoors and mental health intersect. More than ever, managing mental health is front and center, which is why we mashed up Grizel’s recent interview from the spring with Episode 1 of Underneath It All so you can learn a bit about her-- both as someone who loves the outdoors and travel-- and also as a podcast host committed to opening up conversations about mental health.

  • The Other Side of Fear: Adventure Travel Journalist Kellee Edwards
    It feels more important than ever to re-think our role models. And adventure travel journalist, pilot, and deep water diver Kellee Edwards is someone who’s been paving a path on the road, in the air, and around the globe for years. It’s not just her passion to take herself to new heights that we’re inspired by though-- it’s the way she wants to bring everyone else with her.

  • Trust Your Gut, Know Your Head: Natasha Seitz & Beth Luby
    As a queer couple, Natasha Seitz and Beth Luby challenge the notion we hear often online from white, straight couples: that the road always feels safe and strangers always seem welcoming. Because the reality is that safety also equates to privilege, and it shows up in the ways you camp, where you travel to, and what you do when you get there.

  • Coming Home to Herself: Denise Meeker
    We didn't ask, but we bet if we had, traveler Denise Meeker would say that coming home to yourself isn't a one-time act. It's personal, on-going, and sometimes shows up in ways you don't expect. It also can include hard, internal work. But we're really thankful to get to hear her story of coming home through spending time on the road and in the outdoors to underline the importance of you telling yours.

  • From Celebrity Dinners to Camper Conversions: Chef Manouschka Guerrier
    Chef Manouschka Guerrier is known for a lot of things-- like dancing, acting, and her culinary skills on the reality TV show Private Chefs of Beverly Hills-- but being on the road is her newest adventure. From solo travel to RV fires and more, Manouschka learned a lot about herself through hitting the road in search of the kind of relationships you can build when you’re face to face.

  • Off The Grid With A Kid: Where Are They Now?
    As we all know, a lot can change in a couple of years: especially when you’re a mom, and especially when you live on the road. So we were so excited to bring Bionca Smith-- a full-time traveler, professional speaker and author, and mother to her 11-year-old son Carter-- back onto the show after two years to see how things have changed with the road as their home.

  • White Women of #Vanlife, We Need to Talk
    The truth is this: as white women on the road, we’ve taken up a lot of space within the #vanlife movement. And it’s long past time to unpack how white women’s presence in popular road travel negatively impacts the Black traveler community.

  • Expect the Unexpected: Alexandra Keeling
    Road travel can take many forms. And Alexandra Keeling knows this better than most-- because she's done a lot of them. From RV life, to towing a small trailer, to sleeping out of the back of a car, Alex's journeys on the road so far have shown that no matter how you travel, it all counts. Because regardless of your travel style or what you're hitting the road with, everyone is susceptible to unexpected surprises and challenges. Alex knows this part better than most, too-- but that’s her story to tell in this episode.

  • Navigating Responsible Travel During COVID-19
    Can we hit the road responsibly during a pandemic? As someone planning to car camp or take a drive into the wilderness, you might not feel like you alone could make a huge impact on this pandemic-- but the reality is that travel can lead to viral transmission. We know you want to travel (we do too!), but more importantly: we want you to be knowledgeable and prepared, whether you’re planning to get out there soon, or hoping to sometime later in 2020. In this episode, we’re aiming to help in that process by providing you with questions, tips, and tools to make your own, best decisions at the time.
