Taking the leap to travel full-time in a campervan or an RV is tough - especially if you're doing it alone! Amber Baldwin made a huge change five years ago when she decided to give up her Seattle home to go RVing - she started in a Class C RV and ended up in a Hymer Activ Class B. Amber now runs a successful YouTube channel called Story Chasing.

She also has a Nomad Mentorship Bootcamp.

We've been living at Cabrales Boatyard in Puerto Penasco, Mexico for two months now, getting our sailboat ready for winter cruising in the Sea of Cortez. Tom spends his days sanding and painting the sailboat, and I sit in the Sprinter van working on my computer.

Could you imagine living in a Prius? It's no easy feat! Tom and I lived in a Prius in 2015 in the San Francisco Bay area to pay off debt and save money. That's why I wanted to interview David Swanson for Episode 12 of The Wayward Home podcast. He lived in his Prius for 7 years, traveling across the U.S., making friends and even appearing in the Oscar-award-winning movie Nomadland.

David tells us about why he started living in a car, and tips for making your care safe, cozy and comfortable.

Have you wondered why so many RVers and van lifers have South Dakota license plates? I've noticed this everywhere, even in the boatyard here in Mexico. South Dakota offers many benefits to nomads, including no income tax, no annual vehicle inspections, and the ease of becoming a nomad.

I chose to become a South Dakota resident last summer and the process couldn't be easier. 

In Episode 11 of The Wayward Home Podcast, I'll share exactly how to become a South Dakota resident plus the pros and cons of establishing domicile in that state.

If you want to live the van life, you don't have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a brand new van. You can do with Hilary Bird did - and buy an old $6,000 van and fix it up yourself.

Doing a budget van conversion is a great way to test out van life. You'll figure out if you really like living on the road, and what you might add or change to a campervan in the future.

Hilary of Green Van Go worked with her dad to build a $2,000 van conversion, with a few fun "splurge" items to make it more comfortable for full-time van life and remote work.

In this episode, Hilary gives us a tour of her van, tells us all about her budget campervan conversion, and what she'd do differently in the future.

Many of us who live tiny do so to lower our environmental footprint. Just living in a smaller space means using fewer resources and buying less stuff. Moving into a campervan or an RV is one of the easiest ways to live tiny, but Michael Bartz built his own 200-square foot off-grid house.

In Episode 8 of The Wayward Home podcast, Michael gives us a virtual tour of his tiny house. He also tells us ways he cuts back on his environmental footprint, and how you can too, even if you don't live small.
