Podcasts about women on the road

Noami Grevemberg is a leader in the world of vanlife, and the founder of Diversify Vanlife, a platform that highlights less-heard voices in vanlife, road travel, and nomadic communities. It's also a resource that helps break down barriers to accessing life on the road, a lifestyle that Noami and her husband Dustin embarked on in 2016.We chatted with Noami towards the end of 2022, when she was coming off a much-needed vacation after finishing her first book, Living the Vanlife: On the Road Toward Sustainability, Community, and Joy. It's part memoir, part how-to guide, in which Noami shares the nitty gritty of their travels with candor, grace, and humor.The start of the book tells the story of how Noami immigrated to the US from Trinidad at just 16, and how she built a life for herself all on her own - from entering college at 25, to climbing the corporate ladder as an environmental scientist. All that hustle took its toll, and by her early 30's Noami was ready for a change. While she wouldn't have envisioned vanlife for herself when she flew to America as a teenager, it's a life she was able to choose for herself. And it's one that she wants others to be able to pursue too.This conversation with Noami is the perfect way to start a new year as we talk about resparking creativity after coming off a big project, realigning yourself with your values, what it took for her to create this book, and what aspiring vanlifers will gain from reading it when it's available this summer.Enjoy listening?

Leyla Alyanak is a journalist and former foreign correspondent from France who, at 43, made a major decision to reinvent herself and travel the world for solo for six months. That trip ended up lasting four years – before cell phones, apps, and Google. During that time, she had numerous adventures, including getting lost in a Mozambican minefield and paddling her way out of a flood in the Philippines. Now in her 60s, Leyla travels the world solo as often as she can, documenting it all on Women on the Road, which is a website for solo travel over 50. However, after COVID-19 hit Leyla shifted her focus on her own country. Ever the optimist, she launched a new travel website called Offbeat France in which she shares lesser-known stories the guidebooks don't tell you. In this interview, Leyla talks about what her first solo trip as a teenager was like, how she supported herself through her journey as an adult, and why solo travel for women is important. She also shares some valuable tips when traveling solo.Download PDF TranscriptLeyla's Recommendations:- Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery series by Donna Leon- No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith- Travel to somewhere culturally familiarShuva's Recommendation:- U.S. travel by AmtrakIf you enjoy this show, click here and follow the instructions to leave a review.Interested in starting your own podcast?

Leyla Alyanak is a journalist and former foreign correspondent. At 43, she made a major decision to reinvent herself and travel the world solo for six months – she was gone nearly four years, before cell phones, apps and Google. She found time to get lost in a Mozambican minefield, paddle her way out of a flood in the Philippines, and get stampeded by an elephant cow in Nigeria. Always an activist, she has worked for the World Wildlife Fund and for several health-related United Nations agencies.  Today, at 67, she consults for the UN on human rights, continues to publish widely, and travels the world solo as often as she can, documenting it all on Women on the Road, the website for solo travel over 50. A few weeks ago, taking advantage of the coronavirus lock down in France, where she lives, Leyla launched a new travel website called Offbeat France!

For some of us, what got us in the car in the first place are the things we’re running from-- but no matter how many miles we drive, those things end up in the passenger seat, along for the ride with us. Kathy Karlo, a climber, writer, Director of No Man’s Land Film Festival, and host and creator of the For the Love of Climbing podcast, is someone who knows the contents of her passenger seat well-- both literally and figuratively. And she uses the weight of what she carries to build something bigger than herself.Resources From This Episode:Follow Kathy on Instagram: @inheadlightsListen to Kathy's podcast, For the Love of Climbing: Spotify | Apple PodcastsRead Kathy’s article, “Do Not Go Outside to Cry”Follow @diversify.vanlifeWomen On The Road on Instagram: @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:Betterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROADOregon State EcampusEnjoy this episode?

This platform as you know it started several years ago in response to the lack of representation of female road travelers in the media we consume. After over 100 written interviews published online, followed by more than 100 episodes of the WOTR podcast and the growth of this tight-knit online community, we know there are still more conversations to be had.But we also feel, more strongly than ever, that in the spirit of what WOTR has aimed to do-- broaden our perception of who is on the road, and elevate those voices and stories-- that our current team at @ravel.media are not the ones who need to be hosting these conversations moving forward. That’s why we’re making some big changes.Thanks to Diversify Vanlife, we are partnering to evolve this platform so that it can further serve the conversations that aren’t being had enough, led by the people we need to hear from most.Starting in October, Diversify Vanlife will replace the WOTR podcast under the name Nomads at the Intersections. This monthly show, hosted by founder Noami Grevemberg and co-host Anaïs Monique, will shift the narrative and navigate the challenges, journeys and inspirations of the modern nomadic movement while diving deep into the stories of underrepresented voices.If you’re already subscribed to WOTR on your favorite podcast app, you’ll automatically start getting Nomads at the Intersections content as the re-launch approaches. We’ll also drop some exciting updates right here as well as via Instagram @diversify.vanlife, so just sit tight, make sure you’re following along, and we’ll keep you updated.WOTR as the show you know it now with host Laura Borichevsky will be on air until Friday, 9/18. You’ll still be able to listen to past episodes after this date on the same podcast feed. We have some special things planned for our final two episodes so we’re hoping you tune in!Thanks to each of you for being here for what this community has grown into, and we’re excited to have you here to see where we can all go together next. Links You Need to Know About:Keep subscribed to this RSS feed-- it’ll be changing to the name “Nomads at the Intersection” between now and OctoberApple PodcastsSpotifyStitcherFollow @diversify.vanlife on Instagram for more re-launch updatesGet to know the Diversify Vanlife team:Noami Grevemberg: @irietoauroraAnaïs Monique: @anaismoniqJayme Serbell: @gnomadhomeStay tuned for another new Ravel Media podcast hosted by current WOTR host Laura Borichevsky, Sex Outside!Subscribe and listen to the trailer on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere podcasts are found!Connect with us on Instagram: @sexoutsidepodLearn more about Sex OutsideFind Laura Borichevsky online if you want to keep in touch: @howsheviewsit

For many reasons, many of us have been traveling less and reading more right now, which is why hearing from mother, outdoor adventurer, Licensed Nursing Assistant, and book reviewer Alessandra Hurt is especially important right now. Because what we can learn from stillness, BIPOC authors, accessible travel, and Alessandra’s insights on motherhood are all lessons we can use to make our world a better place.Resources From This Episode:Follow Alessandra on Instagram: @naturemamareadsWomen On The Road on Instagram: @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupAlessandra’s Reading List Recommendations:Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall KimmererBlack Faces, White Spaces by Carolyn FinneyHonouring High Places by Junko TabeiReclaiming the Commons by Vandana ShivaIn Open Country by Rahawa Haile (2021)Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad (2021)Sponsor Websites & Codes:Betterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROADEnjoy this episode?

Grizel is a Latinx mental health therapist, former van dweller, writer, thru hiker, photographer, and host of our team’s latest show, Underneath It All-- a series that dives deep into the spaces where the outdoors and mental health intersect. More than ever, we’ve seen the overt and profound need to keep the conversation around mental health going, which is why we are so thankful for folks like Grizel who not only bring professional insight and deep compassion into their work-- but also want to share their learnings and experiences so openly with others.If you haven’t gotten to know a bit about Grizel yet, we figured this was as good of a time as any. That’s why we mashed up Grizel’s recent Women on the Road interview from the spring with Episode 1 of Underneath It All so you can learn a bit about her-- both as someone who loves the outdoors and travel-- and also as a podcast host committed to helping open up more conversations around how we can take care of ourselves and others.Other resources mentioned in this episode:Listen to Underneath It All, the newest Ravel Media podcast, and subscribe!Follow Underneath It All on Instagram: @underneathitallpodFollow Grizel on Instagram: @_grizel_Women On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupEnjoy this episode?

As a queer couple, Natasha Seitz and Beth Luby challenge the notion we hear often online from white, straight couples: that the road always feels safe and strangers always seem welcoming. Because the reality is that safety also equates to privilege, and it shows up in the ways you camp, where you travel to, and what you do when you get there. In this episode, we get to know Natasha and Beth and dig into the safety considerations they make often while traveling, how intersectionality comes into play, and how your gut and your head sometimes tell two different stories about what’s really going on.Resources From This Episode:Follow Natasha and Beth on Instagram: @seeingtheseitzListen to Underneath It All, the newest Ravel Media podcast, and subscribe!Women On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:Manta Sleep - get 10% off with promo code ROADTravel + Leisure has a new podcast out, hosted by travel expert Kellee Edwards, called “Let’s Go Together”.

We didn't ask, but we bet if we had, traveler Denise Meeker would say that coming home to yourself isn't a one-time act. It's personal, on-going, and sometimes shows up in ways you don't expect. It also can include hard, internal work. But we're really thankful to get to hear her story of coming home through spending time on the road and in the outdoors to underline the importance of you telling yours.Resources From This Episode:Follow Denise Meeker on Instagram: @wayfaretowellnessDenise’s blog: Wayfare to WellnessMelanin and Mental HealthWomen On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:Manta Sleep - get 10% off with promo code ROADBetterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROADDannerEnjoy this episode?

Can we hit the road responsibly during a pandemic? As someone planning to car camp or take a drive into the wilderness, you might not feel like you alone could make a huge impact on this pandemic-- but the reality is that travel can lead to transmission-- which means that travelers have the capacity to create an immense effect on the trajectory of viral spread.The good news is that we’re not here to make you feel guilty. We know you want to travel (we do too!), but more importantly: we want you to be knowledgeable and prepared, whether you’re planning to get out there soon, or hoping to sometime later in 2020. In this episode, we’re aiming to help in that process by providing you with questions, tips, and tools to make your own, best decisions at the time. We look at information through the eyes of women who love to travel and also hold public health as a top priority: Seattle-based nurse and overlander Emily Scott, travel nurse Em Cheng, and founder of the Outdoor Advocacy Project, Katie Boué.So tune in and get ready to be honest with yourself when it comes to responsible travel. Because the safer we are collectively, the more we can actually go out and do.Featured in this episode:Emily ScottFollow Emily on Instagram: @twodustytravelersEmily’s travel blog: Two Dusty TravelersEm ChengFollow Em on Instagram: @explorn_emchengKatie BouéFollow Katie on Instagram: @katieboueKatie founded the Outdoor Advocacy Project.

This episode honors the mom figures in our lives who inspire or encourage dreams of road travel by paying tribute to one mom in particular: our host Laura Borichevsky's mom, Jackie Hughes. Before #vanlife… before Instagram…  before she could even drive: Laura's belief in her ability to do road travel was shaped by her mom's experience driving across the country when she was in her early twenties, and it stuck with her because Jackie's journey was full of purpose, bravery, and quite a bit of fun packed into a handful of days and a tiny 1975 Camaro. Other resources mentioned in this episode:Women On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the On the Road, Our Way Facebook Group!Sponsor Websites & Codes:SalomonEnjoy this episode?

In this episode, we asked you to share your favorite road travel stories. The landscapes, destinations, trials, and motivations, like this community, are wide-ranging-- from reminders of your own strength and resilience, to particularly sweet memories with loved ones, to formative times you’re holding onto now more than ever. In listening to these stories, we hope you feel a little closer to the road. Because it’s still out there, waiting for us. And these memories are a reminder of what might be around the corner when we’re able to get back out there again.Featuring the voices of:Cara Schafer: InstagramNoël Russell: Instagram | WebsiteMartha Hudson: Instagram | WebsiteIra Wolf: Instagram | SpotifyRaya Greenbaum: InstagramDesiree Penner: Instagram | WebsiteMaddie Polk: InstagramBritney White: InstagramAmanda Shale: Instagram | WebsiteElizabeth Bois: InstagramLeslie Carvitto: Instagram | WebsiteMeaghin Riske: InstagramOther resources mentioned in this episode:Women On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:SalomonDeuterSkylight Frame - use promo code ROAD for $10 off Enjoy this episode?

Self-sufficiency is always an important set of skills to hone-- in life, and especially on the road. But even the most independently-minded travelers require community and resources to learn and grow. That’s why Amanda Shale joins this episode to talk about how over the years she’s learned the essentials, including everything from responsible foraging, sheltering in place, and the importance of basic vehicle maintenance.Other resources mentioned in this episode:Follow Amanda on Instagram: @tidelinetoalpineWomen On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:SalomonBetterhelp - use promo code ROAD for 10% offDannerSkylight Frame - use promo code ROAD for $10 offEnjoy this episode?

Mental health is something we've talked about before on the show, but never before has it felt more important to dive in. That's why this week, we took some time to focus on what challenges, resources, and tips this community has and needs. Whether you're a full-time traveler and your shelter is a car or a tent, or you have a more stationary place to stay and you're feeling stagnant-- the reality is that this forced by necessary stillness is a challenge for us all, on top of the anxiety that can be triggered during crisis.It's a good thing for us all that insightful, compassionate folks like Grizel Williams are a part of our community. Grizel lives on the road and is a writer with background in mental health counseling. After years in the field, she shares what mental health considerations she's thinking about now-- as well as what resources or practices we can all look to during this especially challenging time.  Other resources mentioned in this episode:Follow Grizel on Instagram: @_grizel_A free resource from Grizel: COVID-19 and Mental HealthA post from Grizel on managing anxietyGrizel and Laura went Live on Instagram to discuss mental health for Road Tip Tuesday this week and all of the questions our community asked got answered right here in a doc Grizel created!Women On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupAre you a full time traveler and interested in parking in someone’s driveway?

A timely episode for travelers out there wondering about what decisions to make in light of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus that has caused a global pandemic in recent weeks. Through the voices of two experts-- Registered Nurse Emily Scott and public health emergency planner Kate Pifer-- we navigate both baseline information as well as the challenging nuance of what it means to be a traveler in light of recent world events, while walking away with the message that how and when you travel does truly impact the lives of others.Things feel very heightened right now when it comes to cancellations and travel restrictions, but we could see a time in the future where travel feels safe again even though COVID-19 exists in our communities. The reality is, we don’t really know. So if you’re listening to this episode, we encourage you to do so not only with the next handful of weeks in mind, but with a long-term mindset of what it means to be a responsible traveler and containing the spread of harmful disease, even you yourself don’t feel personally impacted. ** Please note that these interviews were both recorded on Sunday, 3/15 and news, public mandates, and what we know about public health best practices are all evolving rapidly as we learn more about COVID-19 and its impact on the world. This information can be helpful but should be supplemented with verified sources such as (but not limited to) the links provided here in our show notes.Resources mentioned in this episode:Follow Emily Scott on Instagram: @twodustytravelersFollow Kate Pifer on Instagram: @katepiferCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)World Health Organization (WHO)Coping With Stress During Infectious DiseaseTwo other podcast episodes, hosted by women and taking a scientific look at COVID-19:Science VSOlogiesWomen On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:DeuterBetterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROADEnjoy this episode?

We usually aim to show the sides of road travel that aren’t over-romanticized, but for this episode we wanted to gush a little. So we asked for voice submissions while we were off the air, with one simple intention: tell us your love stories. And wow-- did you all deliver! So in this episode, we’ll be sharing all kinds of love stories from the road: whether it’s a love you found, or grew, or lost; whether it’s a for partner, a friend, a dog, or yourself; we’re eager to share your love stories that happened because you made road travel a priority.In this episode, you’ll hear the voices of:Ashley Mayer: (call-in submission)Olivia Deihs: @womeninoutdoorworkNatasha Buffo: @dirtandtearsHan Zeigler: @the.hanvanAmber McDaniel: @alwaystheadventureKimbie Noble: @drivingkimbiewildAmanda Shale: @tidelinetoalpineNicole Bonilla: @theopenroadlesstraveledMargaret Miller: @curlyhaircampingRaleigh Campbell: @morganraleigh.cStay connected with us:Women On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:Betterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROAD Enjoy this episode?

Travel nursing is an incredible career that enables you to both help others and get to see new places. But just like any job or form of travel, there are always aspects that can get over-romanticized, and travel nursing is no exception. Em Cheng, a travel nurse currently exploring the West Coast, joins this episode to share some of the practical aspects of becoming a travel nurse and why she loves it so much, as well as address some of the biggest challenges associated with taking on this fast-paced career. For Em, being successful and well-balanced in her traveling line of work comes down to self care, which is hard for all of us-- even nurses.Other resources mentioned in this episode:Follow Em on Instagram: @explorn_emchengWomen On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:Victorinox - get 15% off through December 31st, 2019 with code WOMEN15Enjoy this episode?

Whether it’s for the holidays you celebrate, the time you spend reflecting, or the gifts you exchange out of love or habit-- the year’s end is full of reminders of family. And family is complicated for a lot of us out there, especially when travel is also a big part of our lives.We know that there are so many feelings and stories out there when it comes to how this community defines family. So we recently asked you all to submit voice memos telling us all about it.Whether it’s people you grew up with, the chosen family you’ve cultivated over the years, your dog, or something else entirely— we asked: how do you define family?

Solo traveler Aubrey Hancock is intimately familiar with her fears. And as you’ll hear, there’s a lot wrapped up inside those feelings. It’s all human, and it’s all valid to feel this way. But Aubrey knew, even at a time she was the most vulnerable and scared, that expanding her horizons would be the only thing to help her start to overcome them.Other resources mentioned in this episode:Follow Aubrey on Instagram: @adventures_in_huck_phinnAubrey’s leatherworking business, Huck Phinn LeatherworksWomen On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:DannerBetterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROADCusa Tea - get free shipping on orders of $30 or moreEnjoy this episode?

We heard a lot of insights, new experiences, and beautiful sentiments the weekend of the Women on the Road Campout last month— and if you know us, you know we couldn’t keep it all to ourselves, so we wanted to share a piece of the experience with you.That’s exactly why our team took a mic around and asked a handful of attendees each a few questions. The result is 12 voices, recorded live at the Campout on Ute territory just outside Moab, Utah, sharing a bit about their travels, reasons for coming all the way down a dusty backroad to meet us here, and what they’re taking from this experience.In this episode, you’ll hear the voices of:Brooke Weeber | Alessandra Hurt | Brenda Miles | Deenaalee Hodgdon | Tammy Rae Scott | JC Friedkin | Stephanie Spates | Karen Ramos | Shae Whitney | Kimi Uno | Sirena Rana Dufault | Jaymie ShearerWorkshop leaders you need to know about:Cindy Villaseñor | Jayme Serbell | Morgan Brown | Tori Duhaime | Deenaalee Hodgdon | Jaylyn Gough | Katie Boué | Stephanie Spates | Nicole Brown | Kathy Karlo | Latasha Dunston | Bre Acio | Lacey Mayer | Jaymie Shearer | Olivia Deihs | Aubrey Hancock | Megan Cable | Nic BloudinOther resources mentioned in this episode:Women On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupSponsor Websites & Codes:DannerCusa Tea - get free shipping on orders of $30 or moreAirMedCare - get a $20 Visa gift card when you become a 1-year member with the Fly-U-Home service by following this link and using promo code ROADEnjoy this episode?

When we first connected with part-time van traveler Maggie Lam, it was about a post she had written and we reshared on social media. And it was about small gestures Maggie has experienced during her travels, why they you might not know that they are in fact microaggressions, and why representation of people of color within the road travel community matters. So we wanted to have a conversation with her about those small gestures, which you’ll hear in this episode. Through it all, you’ll also get to hear about the small gestures that truly make a positive impact-- like listening to and amplifying underrepresented voices-- and how you can use your privilege for good, both on the road and when you’re stationary.If you’re looking to learn about how to be a better ally and accomplice for people of color on the road, or if you’re simply looking to hear a perspective you might not have before from a female road traveler, this episode is an especially great listen!In this episode, you’ll hear:How Maggie and her partner spend their year on and off the roadSome background on Maggie’s family story, and how her generation tends to view work and travel compared to her parents’ generationMaggie’s experience turning her current job into a remote oneTips for being an effective remote workerWhat is a microaggression?Examples of microaggressions from Maggie’s experiences on and off the roadTips for people in privileged groups when it comes to avoiding microaggressionsResources mentioned in this episode:Follow Maggie on Instagram - @bitesizetravelsMaggie’s original post on microaggressionsJoin us in the @diversifyvanlifebookclub as we read our first book together: So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma OluoWomen On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupAdditional resources:What are Microaggressions? via VOXExamples of Racial Microaggressions via University of Minnesota21 Racial Microaggressions You Hear on a Daily Basis via BuzzfeedSponsor Websites & Codes:DannerBetterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROADCove - visit www.withcove.com/wotr for your first month of migraine medication freeEnjoy this episode?

Van life: what started as a trend has only grown, evolving into a full-fledged movement in the US and beyond. And despite the multitude of vacation-style photos online showcasing this mobile living arrangement, there are many practical reasons people choose to live on the road for more than a couple weeks-- and no, it typically has nothing to do with Instagram. While the roots of living in your vehicle are several decades old-- it’s not a novel concept whatsoever-- there are more tools now than ever to make it accessible, and because of the economic outlook many Millennials are facing, the hashtag-turned-movement is also becoming a viable option to address affordable housing and creating a promising financial outlook. That said, as you’ll hear on this episode, it’s not so easy to go against the social grain and there are true challenges associated with not having a stable mailing address, crossing state lines regularly, and dealing with local community policies around vehicle habitation. To join this in-depth conversation, two incredible female travelers are giving their insights-- Bre Acio and Lacey Mayer, a couple who go by @theladiesvan on Instagram. Bre and Lacey are not only incredibly passionate about finding ways to make vanlife and long term vehicle habitation more socially acceptable, but own two businesses that do their part to make it more accessible to those who want to get on the road. In this episode, you’ll hear: What got Lacey and Bre’s business, SD Campervans, started How they have made campervan conversions as accessible as possible What The Vanlife App is, and how it’s different from others out there How to protect the public resources that makes road life sustainable The ways van life can be the answer to affordable housing The ways Bre and Lacey try to find balance between their businesses and their relationship Basics on city ordinances against vehicle habitation Lesser-discussed challenges of living on the road What the road travel community can do to create more protections for people living in vehicles Other Resources: Follow Bre and Lacey on Instagram - @theladiesvan Learn about SD Campervans Check out The Vanlife App Sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on our WOTR Camp Out happening this October near Moab, Utah!

Full-time travelers Jayme and her partner John recently went through a miscarriage. But in the face of the social norm to not talk about it, they’ve been sharing their sharing about the experience and their grieving process openly with their online community because this topic just isn’t talked about enough, especially for how common it is. In this episode, we catch up with Jayme to hold an important discussion around miscarriage-- because getting real about what’s not being said is the only way to move toward a future where we all give ourselves permission to do the same. In this episode, you’ll hear: Jayme’s pregnancy story How she and her partner John were planning to accommodate an infant on the road What vehicles are good potential campervans for families Finding pregnancy and miscarriage support communities online How Jayme discovered she was miscarrying Why Jayme and John chose to share their miscarriage story with their online community Thoughts and resources that are helpful to Jayme and John in their grieving process Other Resources: Follow Jayme on Instagram - @gnomad_home Jayme and John’s website - Gnomad Home Sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on our WOTR Camp Out happening this October near Moab, Utah!

In this 2nd annual “Advice” episode, we ask our 9 most recent interviewees the 5 most commonly-asked questions we’ve been hearing online and in person from female road travelers. Because anything can-- and often does-- happen on the road, more perspectives usually help so that you can learn, reflect, and ultimately decide for yourself what feels right. And when we as female travelers share advice with one another, it does some important things: it normalizes that we are competent and can be sources of knowledge, and it also shows each other that there is no one way to do road travel. You can have a different perspective and still make it happen. In this episode, you’ll hear: Answers and insights to 5 commonly asked questions about traveling on the road: How do you finance your travels? What do you do about safety? Do you ever get lonely, and how do you combat that? What are your best tips for camping? What is one item you couldn't live without while traveling on the road?

What happens when you practice understanding with the things you understand the least?We won't promise you'll end up living desert back roads in a giant orange camper like Brianna Madia, but we bet you'll build a life you never expected.The secret? Brianna takes the time to see potential where others might change course.Some people might see her old campervan, Bertha, and think that it's not worth the trouble-- that the potential for breakdowns make it too risky to live in. Some people might see her incredibly active dog, Dagwood, and think that he's too wild to give a home to. Some people might think that the desert back roads aren't the safest place to call home at all.But unlike most people, Brianna fell in love with all of the above, and in taking the time to truly understand and appreciate them for what and who they are, she's cultivated a unique life that reflects the very creatures she loves so much.From her life outdoors, to the dogs she loves, to the breakdowns and online criticism she faces-- this episode is full of Brianna Madia's beautiful stories of adventure and understanding.About Brianna:Brianna Madia is a storyteller and big orange van-dweller, spending most of her time in the deserts of southern Utah.

Kit Whistler is probably the sweetest rebel you'll ever meet.When she first hit the road in 2010, it was in response to the physical stagnation she felt as a college student-- which resulted in a year of farmwork and backpacking around the States, and led her to discover parts of herself, and the land around her, she is now deeply connected to.Later on, when traditional “adult life” off the road didn't work, she hit the road again in 2012, this time with the expressed ambition to do nothing. To practice being idle. And in creating that space, Kit began the inner work many of us are afraid to do-- confront our fears and move forward in growth, learning that optimism is the most rebellious act we can take on as humans and finding ways to share that in any way she could. Her journey as a writer, a philosopher, and an optimist are all wrapped up in her travels on the road, and in this episode she shares pieces of her internal and external experiences.Hosted by Laura BorichevskyFeaturing Kit WhistlerJoin the Women On The Road podcast community on FacebookIn this episode, you'll hear:The experience that first prompted Kit to travel in her camper,SunshineHow to get started working with local farmers whiletravelingSome of the benefits of WWOOFing and Kit's experienceKit shares what it was like to practice being idle for an entire yearWhat books have deepened Kit's knowledge of and reflections onidlenessApproachable ways to get started in meditation or stillnessSome approaches to overcoming fear and self-judgement in your everydayKit shares a surprising story about her first writing class incollegeSome insights on what it's like for Kit to share with a broadonline communityWhat inspired “Orange is Optimism”, the book Kit andJ.R. created Why it's crucial-- and radical-- to choose to be anoptimistResources mentioned in this episode:Follow Kit on Instagram - @idletheorybusLearn more about Kit's book, Orange is OptimismKit sends out biweekly emails with her musings and lots of all aroundfun.
