Zoom and Zoomies

Brittany Joiner & Vy Tran

Two lesbians, three cats, and one very needy dog decided to trade square footage for freedom. Zoom and Zoomies is our behind-the-scenes look at camper life, remote work, and the chaos of full-time travel with pets. Each week, we share stories, tips, and “what were we thinking?” moments as we figure out life on the road—Starlink hiccups, packing fails, and all. Whether you’re dreaming of RV life, already a digital nomad, or just here for the pet drama, join us for honest conversations, helpful hacks, and plenty of laughter.

On the Eve of Snowmageddon 🫙 Zoomies Tip Jar Use a long-handled car wash brush as a makeshift snow shovel for your camper. 🚚 From Visitor to Neighbor. Connecting With Local Communities as a Camper Short-term stays (Couple of weeks) Support the local economy. Eat local, promote businesses and campgrounds on social, and leave helpful reviews.Look for small ways to give back. Ask locals how to help, donate to community fridges, or join a one-off volunteer event.Longer-term stays Act like residents. Find local communities via Reddit and Instagram, join rec leagues, attend meetups, and vote where we’re based.Initiating connections can feel awkward, especially when explaining our camper life. Meeting our neighbors Mixed experiences. Some connections happen easily, others not at all, and it’s hard to read interest.When it clicks, it really clicks. We’ve built great neighbor relationships, and even short stays can turn into meaningful conversations. 🚨 Random Larry Report!  He thought Brittany was skipping the propane line!  🐶 Pet Drama Report Levi is apparently into eating backpacks now? ❓ Random Question of the Week Do we like the snow?

    Planning Our Next BIG Adventure:

    Send a text 🚧 TikTok Didn’t Tell Us / This Week’s Freak Out  Finding random pools of water in the camper can happen!  The kitchen sink faucet ended up leaking when we were dripping water on a cold night. Luckily, there was a trashcan to catch it!   🫙 Zoomies Tip Jar Enjoy the scent of candles without the fear of an open flame in the camper with a candle warmer!  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5GF7PMV/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_V9QD3AZ798MWR7MHAWJG?linkCode=ml1&tag=zaz059-20&linkId=3790f9786d6984bb4912db0054001435 🚚 Planning for our grand adventure We’re planning our next big adventure and walking through how we’re thinking about it. The big factors are cost, route, schedule, and a few real-world constraints. Cost Estimating campground fees, fuel, and general travel costs. It’s looking like $12–15k on paper, but realistically closer to $20k once surprises hit.State parks could be cheaper, but size limits, lack of hookups, and longer stays might make that impractical.We won’t have normal living expenses for 7–8 months (~$1,400/month), so overall it may balance out more than it seems.Route Mapping a route that hits places we want to see without requiring multi-day driving stretches.Planning one big westward trip rather than multiple crossings, while avoiding moving every few days.Timing locations around weather so we’re not stuck in brutal heat at the wrong time.Schedule Likely starting in April, with existing plans in Tennessee anchoring the beginning.Need to be back in Tybee Island by Thanksgiving, which sets the outer boundary.Goal is to stay at least a week per stop to keep things sustainable.Other considerations Vy’s job situation.Whether our current camper is sufficient, even though the temptation to size up is real.Logistics like driving regulations across states and organizing everything. Yes, this is going in Trello (obvi)!🐶 Pet Drama Report Levi has grown accustomed to a particular treat schedule and is now very opinionated about it. ❓ Random Question of the Week What is the weirdest place you’ve had a “This is my life now” moment?  Brittany: Recently whenever thawing out the sewer hose, or any time having to think about how the temperature outside will affect the camper’s pipes.  Vy: Whenever using the commode, because that is a whole neSupport the show 📬 Got questions or topic ideas?
