Description
Ditching Suburbia is published by the Boyink family, who has lived on the road in the USA since 2010. Along the way they've met families who live on boats, in tiny houses, on homesteads, and on bikes. Each week the podcast will look at a different aspect of what a non-suburban life is like. If you have achieved the "American Dream" but found it a nightmare, if you feel like you never see your kids, if you yearn for a simpler life or more adventure - Ditch Suburbia!
