Sassholes on the Road Podcast

HERE HERE PALS! This week we had a special visitor in the van with us! One of Katy's college friends came to Lake Tahoe with us and actually stayed in the van with us to try out our van life style! We have had friends stay with u but we have rented places to stay so this was an exciting new event. She even joined in on the podcast. So listen to a newbies thoughts on van life and talk to us about our travels thus far

ELLO ELLO LISTENING FAM! Ever wanted to sit your mom and aunt in a closet and discuss your life decisions well you're in luck because you get to listen to us do just that with some of Katy's family. We are currently in Portland recording in a closet with some family members talking about their thoughts of our decision to pursue van life. In the last two weeks we have also attended our second van gathering which was smaller and went a lot better than the first one, even though the first one went pretty great! 

AHOY THERE MATIES! I few weeks ago we went to a big van meet up called Descend on Bend. It is a big deal in the van life community and so many people were there but it is not something we usually do. Over a thousand Vans and 2000 people all coming together to share in community and love for this lifestyle. So we talk about stepping out of our comfort zone and stepping into a new sector of van life where we met some really awesome people. 

GOOD AFTERNOON PARTNERS! We have wrapped up our month in Washington in the Van and wan to share with you some highlights and crazy stories that happened to us while in this beautiful state. From Seattle to Olympic National Park back to Seattle to Leavenworth back to Seattle to North Cascade National park and the you guessed it back to Seattle one last time. 

WHAT IT DO COLLECTIVE  PEOPLE WE LOVE! This is the first week of the podcast without Kayla, so Katy and Bianca hope you enjoy the two of us ranting about the drama that comes with have to find overnight parking in interesting places. The past two weeks have brought about a consecutive array of strange interactions with strangers at the places we have chosen to park the van for the night. We wanted to share our stories to show that van life can further be unpredictable and not without its surprises!

SAY OUR LOVELY LADS AND LADIES! So we have some sad new to share after 10 months of hard work and two months of car issues on of the three sassholes decided to leave the van life. We all wanted to sit down and discuss the woes of this sad news and have a chance for her to say goodbye. When choosing van life or any journey in life it sometimes does not work out the way you planned but it does not mean you failed but that you tried and it was not the path for you. 

HEY HEY HEY WELCOME BACK FRANS! We left off the last episode after failing our first attempt and going home to Texas for the Holiday Weekend. Flying all back together to Salt Lake City for our second attempt at beginning van life. Van life comes with endless surprises that are not for everyone at the next week tested our emotional and physical abilities with home explosions and a fully dead van. 

HEY HEY HEY FRANS! As you may know most things in life do not go according to plan about 99.9% of the time so when we finished our van build, moved all in and started to hit the road it shouldn't have surprised us when our old gal of a van gave us problems. We will talk about our frustration with many mechanical problems in our first attempt to start our van journey. 

HELLO AGAIN LADIES AND GENTS! After 10 months of hard work on our converted van we all finally packed our bag and moved in full time into the van. It has not been as simple as just moving in because some obstacles occurred and we we fill you in on where we are currently and how the move went!

HAPPY DAYS LOVES! We have reached the end of Season 1 and have asked our lovely friend Cara who coincidentally is the origin of why we all know each other today. She has been one of our number one fans since the first tea party where we decided to convert a van together and is here to guide us through a wrap up of all we have discussed this season! 

GOOD DAY ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMANS! Today has officially marked the say that we all three have quit our jobs and have end dates. For months its been an avoided topic about how we had to quit our jobs and leave our lives so listen to the decision making that went into the process because despite what it may seem we didn't all just jump on board with no thought and one of us was a little later in their certainty than originally expressed. 

HAPPY DAY ALL OF YOU! So we are close to having to live in a cramp van with three grown adults and need to set some expectations of each other just like any good first day of school. In any good relationship communication is key so here we are communicating our rules and needs but also sassing each other about it! 

HI HI HI LOVELY PEOPLE! We are just 2 months out from packing up and leaving on this journey we have been planning for a little less than a year now but we have a not so small list of things left to finish up on the van before we can take her on the road. Kayla as always has organized a to do list that she shares with all of us!

WHAT IT DO ONCE AGAIN PARTNER! To finish up this Friends series we had Katy's little sister Grace to nag up about concerns that we have not taken seriously. Lots of childhood stories are shared and laughs about all of our poor life decisions!

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME FRIENDS! I hope you're ready for a little longer podcast today to debrief a little bit about all the work that has gone into the van these past two week. A lot of our patience was tested but we also had  lot of exciting moments we celebrated!

WHAT IT DO AGAIN PARTNER! Continuing this series where we each invite someone to come on and ask those burning van questions.  This week Kayla asked her cousin Hollie who has been with us through all the van build portion so she has some great outsider commentary about our van work ability.

WHAT IT DO PARTNER! Launching a new series where we invite our friends who have become faithful listeners and they are free to question our decisions whether it be about the van building, our chose in travels companions or things we have said in previous podcasts. It is a nice way to get to know us better and banter with more people 

WHATSUP MY PALS! So we talk a lot about our mishaps with preparing for Van Life but you still don't know much about us. Kayla takes some classic camp ice breaker questions for us to answer so you can learn who we are and in turn we actually learned a lot about each other as well.

EY YO POTENTIAL LISTENERS!  Our family has expressed continued concern for our safety so we decided to provide some ease by discussing the safety measures we plan on taking in our van conversion and our travels. 

SUP MY DUDES!  So we have been discussing with each other about the importance of land preservation and the growing trend that Geotagging plays in damaging land but also helping small town tourism. Listen to us bicker about some GeoBragging, van decisions and the growing travel industry! 

HOWDY Y'ALL! This past weekend during the big winter storm in Texas Katy and Kayla got trapped in DFW and used that below freezing weather to be outside and work on the van. Listen as they recap that interesting journey to Bianca.  

WHATS CRACKING GANG! Honestly we spent most of the podcast off topic hence the rambles part of the title. We wanted to share why out of the many routes we could have chosen to take our van on we specifically chose the top of Alaska to the bottom of Baja California. 

HIDEY HO FELLOW PEOPLE! We sit down and answer questions some of our new subscribers sent us and go into a bit of a long discussion about our personal opinions about our Potty situation in the van! Three people in a van trying to save money when converting our van end up going on a bit of a long talk about the potty logistics when answering our subscribers questions. Thanks for a 100 Streams and subscribing! 

HEY YO BUDS! So we are discussing this week what we each are looking forward to the most about living in a van together for six months and the least. There are a lot of concerns so listen as we comb through them with each other. Van life is always depicted as something of adventurous fairy tales which will be enjoyed but we aren't kidding ourselves that there will be some things we miss about a house and home. 

GREETINGS FAM! Listen to Katy and Bianca hear the itinerary for the first time from Kayla. We are embarking this new journey this year and as we are on hold with van work at the moment we would like to begin talking with you about what our plans for this trip will be! This is a skeleton itinerary for the beginning of our van life.

HELLO AGAIN PALS! Let us rap up this Three part saga of our first week with the van in Par 3! Van life can be this blissful life of travel and fun but in this discussion into our further work into the van we paint a picture of expectations meeting reality. Overall, week one was a ride but got us SUPER excited  to continue. 

WELCOME BACK PALS! We are continuing our Van Life Beginnings in this Part 2 of a Three Part series of us finally receiving our van!  We ranted so much that it became 3 parts of us recapping our first week with the van. Part 2 is mostly focused on the motto that "everything is going take longer than originally planned" which caused emotions to run hot.  

HEY PALS! Is there a better way to make yourself feel okay about not being able to travel other than looking at trips to all the fantastic places you can't go? We think not. This is our Van Life Beginnings! This is part 1 of a Three Part series of us finally receiving our van!  We ranted so much that it became 3 parts of us recapping our first week with the van. Part 1 is mostly focused on some crazy stories about internet scams, family drama, and endless teasing each other for any mistake that were made along the way, and as first time Van lifers there were many mistakes. Enjoy some informative tea with our side of sass about the struggles of finding the perfect van and entering van life. 

HELLO, we are not professionals so get some enjoyment with our sassy discussion as we learn and hopefully teach you some interesting new van life facts! We're a three gals who love traveling and learning about different cultures! We're always getting into shenanigans and keeping each other on our toes with an intense level of sass. It is crazy that we are going into the world of on the road van living with no prier experience and on a bit of a whim. SO listen to our INTRODUCTION Podcast where we introduce ourselves, talk about how we ended up on this journey together, and what our mission for what we want Sassholes on the Road to be.
