Travels with Squeaky is a podcast for solo women RV-ers, campers and vanlifers.

This episode is we speak with Kimberly Anne. Kimberly hit the road in August as a full time vanlifer. She was excited and looking forward to this lifestyle, however, things did not go as she dreamed about. She hit a few bumps along the way—literally hitting her head all the time in her new tiny space. She also had a hard time meeting people and making friends and even had a van fire. But now, three months into her journey, Kimberly is hitting her stride and she’s here to share what she learned from her first few months on the road.

Our guest this week on the Travels with Squeaky podcast is Sarah Leamy. Sarah is a writer, editor, public speaker and full-time van dweller. I just finished her book Vanlife and I highly recommend it for a look into her first few months of travel in the Pacific Northwest with two dogs and a wild cat named Stevie. Sarah shares the ups and downs of vanlife with honesty and a lot of humor. We had a wonderful conversation about what it takes to live a life on the road (not a lot), traveling with furry friends and meeting strangers along the way.

This episode I tell about my solo RV trip to the Sisters Folk Festival where I volunteered and saw lots of great live music. I stepped a little out of my comfort zone to go to an event like this all by myself, but the payoff was immense. Let me tell you all about it.

This week our guest is Jody Bitzenhofer.  Jody talks about how her first solo camping trip changed her life. After a spilt from a partner, she headed out on her own for a six-week  adventure where her only agenda was to say YES to things she normally wouldn’t. It’s amazing all the cool things that she did and experienced, but more importantly, how it changed her life forever.
