Coming soon! Carol Fisher hosts this (van) life podcast, produced from wherever she lands in her 2010 Toyota Sienna. Clocking three years on the road, she shares van life hacks and stories of where she's been. She also dives into personal revelations, and why she left every comfort to live in a minivan.  Enjoy (or cringe at) her awkward attempts to interview other nomads to bring you more insight into who chooses van life, and why.Support the showThe Carol-Van: A (Van) Life Podcast, was developed and created by me, Carol Fisher.
