Podcasts about Campervan

Im September 2025 waren wir mit unserem Van und unseren beiden Hunden in Wales, Nordengland und Schottland unterwegs. Doch Schottland ist für uns kein neues Reiseziel: Bereits 2018 führte uns unsere erste große Vanreise mit unserem damaligen Mercedes Vito in den hohen Norden. In dieser Podcast-Folge nehmen wir euch mit auf unsere aktuelle Reise und ziehen gleichzeitig einen Vergleich zu damals. Wie hat sich das Reisen mit dem Van in Schottland seit 2018 verändert und ist Freistehen noch genauso unkompliziert? Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Along with hearing about volcanoes, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and gorgeous landscapes, one of the biggest things people associate with Iceland is how expensive it is. And honestly, that conversation comes up constantly. It's one of the most common questions when I am helping travelers planning their first trip here. Iceland has built a reputation online for being adventurous and fascinating, but also very expensive. And to be fair, it absolutely can be. Publications like Travel + Leisure have even ranked Iceland among the most expensive travel destinations in the world. From my perspective as someone who has lived in Iceland since 2016 and helped thousands of travelers through my podcast, social media channels, private consultations, and my in-depth video course, The Savvy Traveler's Guide to Iceland, what stands out to me is this: most people don't create a realistic budget for Iceland. Inside This 5-Day Iceland Budget Guide Knowing where to start with Budgeting for 5-days in Iceland Why the Season You Visit Changes Your Entire Budget What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Flights to Iceland Accommodations: The Biggest Budget Variable Rental Cars & Iceland’s New Road Tax How to Save on Renting a Car and Camper Van in Iceland The Hidden Iceland Expense Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Food Costs in Iceland Activities & Tours: What to Expect Use Discount Codes Strategically to Save Money Unexpected Costs Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budgets by Season Winter Budget Breakdown Shoulder Season Budget Breakdown Summer Budget Breakdown Knowing Where to Start with Budgeting a 5-day Trip for Iceland I think that people don’t always create a realistic budget for Iceland because they don’t know where to start. Travelers are often unsure about  how much to set aside for accommodations, activities, rental cars, food, parking, or even how much the season changes everything. So instead of just throwing random numbers at you, I want to walk you through how I would personally budget for a 5-day trip to Iceland depending on your travel style, the season, and the choices you make while you're here. Because the reality is that a 5-day trip to Iceland could cost one person around $1,300 and another person over $4,000 — and both of them could still have incredible experiences. The Season You Visit Iceland Changes Everything If there's one thing I really want travelers to understand before budgeting for Iceland, it's this: the season you visit impacts almost every single part of your trip. That includes accommodations, rental cars, flights, activities, and even how you spend your time while traveling. I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say that the exact same hotel room can literally double or triple in price depending on the month. For example, a hotel room that costs around $120 per night in winter can easily jump to $250–350 per night in summer. Same room. Same location. Same hotel. The only thing that changed is the season. Now, I don't say that to scare anyone. There are also unique events that can create unusually high prices, like the 2026 total solar eclipse in Iceland, where some accommodations are charging thousands of dollars per night because demand is so intense. That's not the normal reality for Iceland travel, but it does show how much seasonality and demand affect pricing here. Rental cars work exactly the same way. In summer, demand skyrockets, and travelers are often shocked by how quickly prices increase if they wait too long to book. What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Another huge part of budgeting for Iceland is understanding the type of trip you actually want to have. I think social media sometimes makes this harder because people see inspiration online and accidentally start comparing their budget to someone else's completely different trip. Maybe you want to see the Northern Lights, but you're planning to come in summer, which, by the way, isn't possible because the sun barely sets. Maybe you want to base yourself in Reykjavík and do day trips, or maybe you want to road trip around the country and stay in multiple places. Perhaps you want to rent a camper van or stay in luxury hotels for part of the trip because you're celebrating something special. All of those decisions affect your budget. One thing I regularly help people understand during my private video consultations is that Iceland often looks much smaller on the map than it actually is once you start driving around it. For example, if someone wants to stay in Reykjavík the whole trip but also drive to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, I explain that this is about a five-hour drive one way. That's ten hours of driving in a single day before you even stop at waterfalls, black sand beaches, or anywhere else along the route. That's why route planning matters so much in Iceland, not only for your sanity but also for your budget. Flights to Iceland – Cost per Season Flights to Iceland fluctuate constantly depending on the season, where you're flying from, how early you book, and global fuel prices. For winter, flights are often around $400–700 roundtrip, while summer flights can range from $600–1,200 or even higher. And honestly, airfare pricing lately has become even harder to predict because of global fuel market instability and international conflicts affecting energy prices. Those things trickle into airline pricing too, so whenever I give ranges for Iceland travel costs, I always want people to understand that these numbers are based on averages and trends, not guarantees. One thing I personally recommend is signing up for airline email lists, like Icelandair or Delta Air Lines, because they regularly send flight sales. I also use Google Flights to track pricing trends, and you'd honestly be surprised how much prices can fluctuate from one week to another. Accommodations in Iceland: The Biggest Budget Variable Accommodation is usually where people underestimate costs the most. For budget accommodations like hostels, guesthouses, smaller rooms, or shared bathroom situations, you're generally looking at around $400–700 total for five nights in winter and about $700–1,400+ in summer. For mid-range accommodations, such as private hotel rooms, apartments, or guesthouses with private bathrooms, winter pricing is usually somewhere around $700–1,400 for five nights, while summer can jump to $1,200–2,000+. And yes, summer pricing really can get that high. If you're considering a camper van, that can sometimes help reduce accommodation costs, though prices vary dramatically depending on the vehicle and the season. I always recommend booking accommodations as early as possible for summer travel. Honestly, if you can plan a year in advance, that's ideal. Six months minimum is usually what I suggest if possible. Rental Cars Cost & Iceland's New Road Tax If you're planning to leave Reykjavík, I strongly recommend considering a rental car because it gives you so much flexibility. Winter rental prices for a smaller car are often around $120–150 per day, while SUVs are closer to $170–180 per day. In summer, smaller cars can easily be $150–200+, and SUVs can go even higher depending on the size and capability of the vehicle. For a five-day trip, many travelers spend somewhere between $600–1,200+ once you include gas and insurance. And there's another thing travelers now need to budget for. Starting in 2026, Iceland implemented a kilometer-based road tax system that applies to vehicles, including rental cars. Iceland Kilometer Fee Information Most travelers won't calculate this themselves because rental companies typically include it either as a per-kilometer fee or as a flat daily charge. For example, Go Car Rental Iceland currently charges approximately €10.50 per day as a flat mandatory road tax fee. Fuel prices in Iceland have lowered somewhat since the road tax was introduced, but global events still impact fuel pricing significantly. How to Save on Renting a Car & Camper Van in Iceland Through my discount links with Go Car Rental Iceland and Go Campers, you can save 7% on your rental. Go Car also includes free 4G WiFi, while Go Campers includes a free sleeping bag. And honestly, the WiFi is incredibly useful because you can check weather, road conditions, maps, email, WhatsApp, and social media while driving around Iceland You can head to gorentals.is/allthingsiceland Once you enter your travel dates, the 7% discount is automatically applied. For Go Car:When you get to the extras section, select 4G WiFi. You'll see the price stays the same, even though it has been added.  For Go Campers:Choose a sleeping bag under the “extras” section, and same thing, the total price won't increase. And just so you know, using my link gives me a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's one of the ways you're supporting All Things Iceland and the content I create. So thank you for that. The Hidden Expense in Iceland that Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Many waterfalls, black sand beaches, scenic viewpoints, geothermal areas, and hiking spots now charge for parking. This is especially in popular areas like the Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and downtown Reykjavík. I've seen this change a lot over the years since I moved here in 2016. There were many places that used to have completely free parking, but because of the increase in tourism, road maintenance, parking lot maintenance, and of course landowners wanting to make money, parking fees have become much more common. I usually recommend budgeting around $80 USD total for parking during a 5-day trip depending on how much driving you're doing. You can also use the Parka app to look up parking fees in advance, which can help a lot with planning. If you're unsure where to go or how to organize your route efficiently, I highly recommend checking out My Iceland Map on Rexby. It includes 350+ personally recommended locations around Iceland that I've visited and enjoyed myself. Food Costs in Iceland Food absolutely adds up in Iceland if you eat every meal out. A casual restaurant meal is usually around $20–35 per person, while a nicer dinner can easily be $40–80+. Coffee and a pastry are often around $10–15, and cocktails in Reykjavík can easily cost over $20 each. For five days, I'd say a budget traveler who cooks some meals or makes sandwiches could probably spend around $150–300, while a mid-range traveler who eats out more regularly could spend around $300–700+. One of my favorite budget hacks is booking accommodations with breakfast included. Then you can eat a larger breakfast, make sandwiches or grab snacks for later, and only pay for dinner out. For groceries, Bónus is generally the cheapest option, while Krónan is another great alternative. And surprisingly, IKEA Iceland is one of the cheapest places to sit down and eat a full meal in Iceland. I’m not suggesting that you eat at IKEA every day but I just think it is fun to share that random information. What to Budget for Activities & Tours in Iceland This category really depends on what type of traveler you are. Some people are perfectly happy exploring waterfalls, scenic drives, geothermal areas, and hiking trails, which can keep costs relatively low. Others want glacier hikes, snorkeling, whale watching, ice caves, and snowmobiling. All of these activities can add up quickly. The Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon are generally around $100–150+, glacier hikes are around $100–200+, whale watching tours around $118–150+, and ice cave tours can range from $150–300+ depending on the experience. One of my favorite lower-cost alternatives to the major lagoons is going to a local swimming pool like Laugardalslaug. It has Olympic-sized pools, hot tubs, a cold plunge, slides, and it gives you a chance to experience Icelandic swimming pool culture alongside locals for a fraction of the cost of the lagoons. And if you love museums, there are actually certain times of year when you can visit many for free during events like Winter Lights Festival in February and Menningarnótt (Culture Night) in August. Use Discount Codes & Links to Save Money in Iceland One of the easiest ways to save money in Iceland is by not paying full price when you don't have to. My free Iceland Discount Code Bundle includes discounts for rental cars, camper vans, tours, activities, hotels, outerwear, and more. Most tour discounts are around 10% off, and when you apply those savings across multiple activities, it really does make a noticeable difference in your final trip budget. Always Leave Room for Unexpected Costs This is honestly one of my biggest Iceland budgeting tips overall: always leave room for flexibility. Weather changes quickly in Iceland, and road conditions can shift plans unexpectedly. That could mean rerouting, staying somewhere an extra night, changing accommodations, or adjusting activities because of storms or warnings. Whenever possible, I recommend keeping a few hundred dollars of flexibility in your budget if you can. It just makes the trip feel significantly less stressful. Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budget by Season For winter travel between November and March (excluding holidays), a budget traveler is usually looking at around $1,300–2,000, while a mid-range traveler is closer to $1,800–2,700. Winter tends to be cheaper because hotel demand is lower, rental cars are less expensive, and there are fewer crowds. The trade-off, of course, is less daylight and more unpredictable weather. For summer, budget travelers are usually spending around $1,800–3,000, while mid-range travelers are closer to $2,500–4,000+. Summer costs rise because of peak tourism demand, midnight sun season, easier travel conditions, Highlands access, and limited accommodations. The biggest reason I wanted to make this episode was honestly to help people manage expectations. Iceland can absolutely be expensive. But once you understand how seasonality works, where your biggest expenses are, and how to budget realistically, it becomes much easier to create a trip that works for your finances and travel style. And honestly, being informed ahead of time makes Iceland feel so much less overwhelming. The Random Fact of the Episode Did you know that Iceland has around 41 active volcanic systems — including volcanoes beneath the ocean? According to Náttúra Íslands (Natt.is), a volcano is considered “active” if it has erupted within the last 11,000–12,000 years, which is actually pretty recent in geological terms. The most active volcanic system in Iceland is called Grímsvötn, located in Southeast Iceland. It has erupted on average about once every decade over the last thousand years. Meanwhile, Iceland's largest volcanic system is Bárðarbunga, and many of the country's enormous lava fields were created from eruptions there. What's also fascinating is that volcanic systems in Iceland are often made up of: a central volcano, plus a fissure swarm, all connected to a shared underground magma chamber deep within the Earth's crust. Which honestly explains why Iceland can sometimes feel like you're standing on another planet. Icelandic Word of the Episode ferðakostnaður — travel expenses or cost of travel Pronunciation: FEHR-tha-kost-na-thur This felt like the perfect word for this episode because honestly… that's exactly what we've been talking about the entire time.  In Icelandic: ferð = trip/journey kostnaður = cost/expense So together: ferðakostnaður = the cost of traveling. Example: “Ferðakostnaður á Íslandi getur verið hár á sumrin.” “Travel costs in Iceland can be high during the summer.” And trust me… Icelanders definitely understand this too, especially when traveling around their own country during peak season.

Die Reisestatistik des Jahres 2025 sagt: Camping ist der Trend.  Statista bescheinigte den Camping-Tourismus eine Wachstumsrate von 4,2%. Das ist mehr als bei Ferienwohnungen und -häusern und erheblich mehr als in klassischen Unterkünften. Lagerfeuer vor der Jurte – Foto: CampAdventure ITB-Talk: Camping 2026 Deshalb müssen wir reden. Das geschah während der ITB mit zwei Frauen vom Fach: Geplant – Getan. Neues erfahren und auch noch jede Menge Spaß gehabt. Könnt Ihr hören im Podcast. Die Menschen und die Agentur Karolin Turck – Foto: Camp Komm Karolin Turck und Ina Bohse sind nicht nur erfahrene Camperinnen, sie haben 2020 auch den Trend erkannt und mit „Camp Komm“ ihre eigene PR-Agentur aufgemacht.

Is the motorhome industry in its worst state ever, or are we worrying over nothing? Prices have surged, quality is under scrutiny, and new buyers are arriving with very different expectations. After years of disruption, from Brexit to Covid to supply chain chaos, has the market finally steadied, or are there bigger changes brewing under the surface? This week, industry veteran Peter Vaughan joins Motorhome Matt and Keith Gooden to separate perception from reality, drawing on over four decades of experience to answer the question many are quietly asking. Along the way, we explore how the audience is changing, why van life has gone from fringe to mainstream, and whether manufacturers are really keeping up. We also take an honest look at used values, dealer challenges, and what the future might hold as new players eye up the market. Plus, a look at the brand new Warners National Motorhome, Campervan and Camping Exhibition at Stoneleigh this April, a day-visitor show packed with hundreds of vehicles, expert advice sessions, and hands-on tech demonstrations designed to help you make better buying decisions. And don't miss this week's Fun Fiamma Fact, where we reveal just how many of their iconic F45 awnings have been sold worldwide. And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on: Do external windscreen covers actually stop condensation? Can the Pathway 4G really get a signal where your phone can't? Which gas system makes the most sense for extended European travel?

Well listeners, today's show is bit of a head-scratcher to explain. Suffice to say, David tells Joe about a handsome and very self-assured man that he recently saw at his local farm shop, which somehow leads to Joe telling David about his neighbour's military-style camper van. Plus, they both analyse why Joe is so bad at being tidy and David convinces him to clean up his office. So, pretty much Chatabix business as usual really.

We weren't shopping for a camper van… and then an auction popped up. Seventy-two hours later, we owned one.In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda walk through how an unexpected opportunity turned into a confident, peaceful financial decision—and why it didn't involve panic, debt, or overthinking.They share the real story behind buying a camper van quickly, how they evaluated whether it made sense financially, and the framework they use to make big decisions without stress. Along the way, they talk about market demand, cash flow, risk management, season-of-life boundaries, and why having a solid budget gives you the freedom to say yes when the right opportunity comes along—or no when it doesn't.If you've ever wondered how to make big financial decisions without fear, regret, or constant second-guessing, this episode gives you a practical look at what that actually looks like in real life.Resources Mentioned :Catholic Guide to Budgeting

Zündschlüssel drehen, Alltag aus. Camping verspricht das große Draußen: Freiheit auf vier Rädern, Nächte im Van, Zelten am See. Für die einen ist es Abenteuer, Improvisation, Aufbruch. Für die anderen beginnt Freiheit erst mit Warmwasser, Markise und Bordtoilette. Und wieder andere fühlen sich am wohlsten zwischen Parzelle, akkurat gestutzter Hecke und dem obligatorischen Gartenzwerg vor dem Vorzelt. Auch 2026 scheint der Camping-Boom nicht vorbei. Warum zieht es so viele Menschen in den Camper? Ist es die Sehnsucht nach Einfachheit in komplizierten Zeiten? Oder nach einem Ort, der beweglich bleibt, wenn alles andere festgefahren scheint? Über die Faszination und den Spaß am Campen sprechen wir in dieser Folge unter anderem mit Reisejournalist Christian Leetz und Juli Rutsch. Sie hat das Leben in einer Wohnung gegen das Heim auf vier Rädern eingetauscht und lebt seit drei Jahren dauerhaft in ihrem Van. Podcast-Tipp: Tee mit Warum - die Philosophie und wir Warum reisen wir? Ob Rucksack-Trip, Familienurlaub oder Wellness Retreat. Wir reisen gern und viel. Wonach suchen wir, wenn wir unterwegs sind? Erweitern wir beim Reisen unseren Horizont oder fliehen wir bei diesem oft nur ausschnitthaften Blick in andere Welten vor der Realität? Über diese Fragen diskutieren Denise M'Baye und Sebastian Friedrich mit dem Reiseenthusiasten und Philosophen Christian Schüle und entwickeln dabei eine Ethik des Reisens, die auch immer das Bleiben mitdenkt. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:aa8f3501ebdfe5f0/

A campervan has been torched in a suspected arson attack just an ‘arm's length' away from where a young family was sleeping in Sittingbourne. Firefighters were called to battle the on-fire Volkswagen in the residents' car park outside the Litmus House flat block off Vellum Drive in the early hours of Monday morning. Also in today's podcast, a man accused of repeatedly stabbing a uniformed British Army officer in the street has pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted murder.Appearing at Maidstone Crown Court via video link from high security psychiatric hospital, he admitted trying to kill Lt Col Mark Teeton near Brompton Barracks on July 23, 2024.A yellow weather warning for wind has been issued as Storm Goretti is set to batter areas of the Kent coast.The Met Office says gusts in exposed areas could reach 70 mph, with the caution covering seaside towns in the south of the county. You can hear from a young mum who says writing about her husband's death made her go back to therapy, but also forced her to face the worst moments of her life.Emma Charlesworthdidn't want her partner to become just “another statistic” and hopes her new book will bring comfort to those who have been widowed young. And a 30th birthday party's being thrown for Ashford International Station - as a campaign to bring it back into use continues.The facility opened on this day in 1996 - the same year Legoland also welcomed visitors for the first time.

“Merry Christmas, Emily” David Lowery does so many things, his CV needs a sequel. He's a professor, a mathematician, a writer, a musician, a producer and an entrepreneur. He's also the singer of two of my all-time favorite bands: Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven. Let's start with the former. Lowery formed Camper Van Beethoven when he was a student at UC Santa Cruz in the early '80s. I was so obsessed with Camper Van when I was in high school I cut class to buy their new album--but I had the wrong day, so I cut class the next day to get it. Totally worth it, by the way. Camper Van Beethoven put out a handful of genius albums likeOur Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart and Telephone Free Landslide Victory before temporarily disbanding in 1990. Lowery didn't miss a beat and formed Cracker with guitarist Johnny Hickman and they put out a handful of genius albums like Kerosene Hat and The Golden Age, logged a #1 Modern Rock track with "Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)" and scored three platinum albums. This is only a partial history, by the way; but I would recommend reading up on both bands because they have fascinating histories.Lowery has produced everyone from Counting Crows to Sparklehorse, founded Sound of Music studios, was a seed investor in Reverb.com (), knocked out his PhD and was named a Global IP Champion by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. A ferocious advocate for artist's rights, among other things, Lowery launched a pair of class actions alleging major streaming services had failed to properly license and account to independent songwriters. Lowery currently teaches the economics and finance of the music business at the University of Georgia.An authentic career-spanning collection that boasts re-recordings, demos, b-sides and live takes that have never been heard, ‘Alternative History: A Cracker Retrospective' is out now. It's a deep and privileged dive into the rich and vast Cracker cataloge and to say it's a treat falls short of the mark. It's a musical treasure chest. Cracker are touring now and will be on the road at the beginning of 2025 and Camper Van will be playing dates as well. www.crackersoul.com Www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com IG: @Emberspodcast editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Back in July, I took my family on a camping trip in Hawaii. We flew to Honolulu and rented a pair of campervans for our family of six. We had been on the ground for less than an hour when our phones collectively went off with an emergency notice regarding an incoming tsunami caused by a 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the east coast of Russia. A local was giving us an orientation on one of the two campervans at the...

After Camper Van Beethoven performed the final show of its recent tour in Washington, D.C.—and perhaps its last show ever—violinist/multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Segel returned to Stockholm, Sweden, where he has lived for the past 13 years. Segel is well traveled as a musician and otherwise, having been born in Marseille, France, grown up in Davis, Calif., and played with Sparklehorse as well as the Øresund Space Collective and on solo projects. He was a key element, if not the sparkplug, in the classic Camper Van Beethoven lineup until, he says, frontman David Lowery dismissed him before the band recorded Key Lime Pie and then broke up altogether. Segel recalls how he found his place in a band that would shift from ska to klezmer music to crunching rock within a few measures. He describes the band's rise, his departure, how he and Lowery patched things up and whether the far-flung bandmates might record or perform together again. (Photo by Bengt Alm)

On this episode, I share my unforgettable roadsurfer, roadtrip adventure with my hiking crewmate to two of California's most legendary landscapes: Yosemite National Park and the Eastern Sierra. Come hop in the camper van and join us on this journey that spanned over 5 days of exploration: traversing landscapes such as Red Rock Canyon State Park, Mono Lake, Tioga Pass, Tuolumne Meadows, Mount Whitney Portal, HWY 395, and much more. Along the way, we experienced the freedom of van life with highlights including alpine lake plunges, epic high elevation treks, camping beneath desert cliffs & alien rock formations, and a recording a spontaneous podcast episode with local outdoor enthusiasts in Alabama Hills. This was a summer roadtrip for the books that I'll always remember for years to come. This episode will inspire you to skip the hotels and experience the Great Outdoors via the camper van, adventure lifestyle. _________________This episode is powered by roadsurfer  — the global leader in RV and camper van rentals.

 If you're anything like me, you've likely longed for a time when you could leave everything behind and hit the road, actually live the van life. I've got you covered. This episode is for you. Today, I'm speaking with Brent and Alan Klein from VanDoit, who take travelers to better places through trustworthy, modular van designs tailored to each story. Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! Sign up for my Newsletter  HERE I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here:  rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com   What Happened: I used to think van life meant dropping everything, quitting your job, and driving off into the sunset with a dog and a dream. You know, the stuff Instagram makes look effortless. But then I met people who lived something different—more real. Like hauling their kids to soccer in the same van they use for weekend mountain biking trips. Or using it as a mobile showroom by day, then a cozy crash pad by night. It hit me: this isn't about escaping life—it's about expanding it. Making your van fit your life, not the other way around. That's when I realized... van life doesn't have to be all or nothing. It can be everything. Principle: The best adventure vehicles don't just take you places—they evolve with your life. From hauling mulch to hauling mountain bikes to hauling kids, they meet you wherever you are. Van life isn't about living out of your van. It's about living more fully because of it. Transition: But here's the thing… Most people think van life means going all-in, Instagram-ready sunsets and full-time nomadism. And that belief? It's holding them back. They either think it's “not for them” or they try to DIY their way into it and end up elbow-deep in wiring they should've never touched. That's why: That's why we dropped this episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast—to show you a more authentic path. One that's rooted in decades of experience, real-life usage, and a design philosophy that's more about living than it is about lifestyle labels. Call to Action: Still dreaming of freedom but stuck thinking you're “not the van type”? Listen to this episode.
