Take the Trip: Real Travel Talk. Zero Filter.

What would it take for you to completely change your life?In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Alex and Libby from TravelinThoms to talk about how a major health scare in their 20s completely shifted their perspective — and ultimately led them to build a life on the road. What started as weekend trips turned into full-time RV living, all while navigating the newlywed phase, demanding jobs, and running an Airbnb back home. And yes — they’re doing it with a baby. We talk about what it actually looks like to pivot your life after something unexpected, how they made travel sustainable, and why they chose not to follow the “sell everything” version of RV life. This conversation is real, honest, and full of perspective for anyone rethinking how they want to live. This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered: • What would make someone completely change their life path? • Can you travel full-time and still keep a home base? • What does RV life with a baby actually look like? • How do people make full-time travel financially sustainable? • What happens when life forces you to slow down and rethink everything? In this episode, we talk about: • The health challenges that changed everything • How their RV journey started (and evolved quickly) • Why they chose to keep their home and rent it out• Traveling full-time while raising a baby  • Building income through social media • Why adaptability is everything in travel and parenting • The importance of community on the road • Growing a brand (yes… including the mullet 😂) • What they’d tell anyone considering this lifestyle Whether you’re dreaming about RV life, navigating a big life pivot, or just curious how families make this lifestyle work — this episode will give you a whole new perspective. 🎙️Take the Trip PodcastReal Talk.

Ever had a camping trip take a turn you absolutely did not see coming?In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with my husband to share the story of a camping experience that started off very normal… and escalated into one of the strangest campground encounters we have had after 5 years of RVing. What began as a normal, beautiful l stay quickly shifted when loud neighbors pushed the limits — and a polite midnight request to quiet down didn’t go as expected.We made a choice that most of the internet did NOT agree with. Sometimes the most challenging part of the adventure isn’t the mountains or trails — it’s navigating people.If you’ve ever wondered:-What do you do when campground neighbors cross the line?-What does “choosing peace” actually look like in action?In this episode, we talk about:• The camping trip that took an unexpected turn • Awkward confrontations • The surprisingly intense and unhinged reactions from the internet afterward • What Bill REALLY thinks of our embarrassing reels and my content shenanigans. RV living isn’t just scenic drives and cozy campfires.Sometimes it’s midnight drama and deciding who you want to be when things get weird.Whether you’re living full-time in an RV, love weekend camping trips, or just appreciate a wild story from the road — this episode is equal parts bizarre, honest, and reflective.🎙️ Take the Trip Podcast - Real Talk.

Full-time RV living wasn’t trendy when they started — it was risky, uncertain, and a little bit wild.In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Vern and Katie of Nomad Nesters — a family who chose full-time RV living before Instagram, before remote work was normal, and before there was a roadmap for how to do it “right.”What began as a spontaneous trip turned into a decade on the road. No smartphones. No curated feeds. Just lawn chairs in an empty house, a questionable RV, and a decision that changed everything.We talk about what it actually looked like to build a family lifestyle around adventure before it was popular — the breakdowns, the early RV community built through forums and rallies, homeschooling long before it was mainstream, and how reality TV only captured a tiny fraction of their story.This one’s for you if you’ve ever wondered:-Can full-time RV living actually strengthen a family — or does it expose every crack?-What’s it really like to be stars of a reality TV show?-What did RV life look like before the boom, the influencers, and the aesthetics?In this episode, we talk about:How a spontaneous beach trip turned into full-time RV living The most unhinged potluck story you will ever hear What it was like to choose this lifestyle before it was popular The early days of RV life — breakdowns, bad generators, and learning the hard way Building community before social media made it easy Homeschooling on the road and how it shaped their kids How living in a small space magnifies family relationships Navigating health challenges while traveling full-time What is was like behind the scenes on reality TV Why giving back to the communities you visit matters The long-term impact of raising kids on the roadFull-time RV living isn’t just about adventure — it’s about who you become when you're following your dreams and there is no crowd to follow.Whether you’re deep in the RV lifestyle, dreaming about family travel, or just curious what life on the road really looks like this conversation is honest, reflective, and full of perspective.🎙️ Take the Trip Podcast Unfiltered travel.

RV life isn’t just about the places you go — it’s about who you become along the way.In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Kelly and Oscar from Spark Love and Wellness for an honest conversation about RV living, family, sobriety, health, and the power of community when you choose a less traditional lifestyle.We talk about the early days of full-time travel — when excitement gave way to isolation — and how intentionally building community completely changed their experience. From parenting teens on the road, to prioritizing wellness (without perfection), to navigating sobriety in social travel spaces, this episode gets real about what it actually takes to thrive as a family on the road.This one’s for you if you’ve ever wondered:Can families really build community while traveling full-time?What does parenting look like in an RV — especially with teensHow do you protect your health, wellness, and sobriety in a lifestyle built around movement and change?• The loneliness many RV families feel in the beginning — and how community changes everything • Parenting teens while living and traveling full-time in an RV • Travel days, chaos, and why that’s part of the adventure • Health and wellness on the road (yes, balance > perfection) • Sobriety and navigating social life while traveling • Why resilience and adaptability are core skills for RV families • How kids can thrive in non-traditional education and environments • The unexpected ways travel creates opportunities to help others • Why community isn’t optional — it’s essentialWhether you’re living the RV lifestyle, dreaming about it, or just navigating family life in a non-traditional way, this conversation is grounding, honest, and full of perspective.🎙️ Take the Trip Podcast Unfiltered travel.
