    When Mark got offered 5 years paid leave from his job, he took it as the perfect opportunity to jump into van life - but not any van would do! With his connections in the airline industry he was able to get a rad, one of a kind, vehicle to make his van life dreams a reality.

Freakin AWESOME!

Frankie and Alex are legit sincere about everything they do and these podcasts are no exception!
Dive in! Listen n learn about living the van life and the community of nomads and adventurers.
These two, with their adorable dog, Paco are the most positive minded and caring individuals who put action and commitment in all that they do.

Informative- Van life not for everyone

They do good interviews. Notably was the 1 with Doom Adventures, Kelsey and Danny. Their story is hilarious. They both had jobs, but Kelsey wanted to sell it all & do van life. Danny declined but Kelsey cried so he gave in. Turns out. Kelsey cries a lot & she looks unstable. The fact that her crying is what made Danny give in is comedy gold. Then their name 'doom', not sounding too positive. So they separate. She is doing the attention hore tour on IG, living her best life, using pronouns in her bio and nose rings and more tattoos. Lots to learn from this couple. Guys, pay attention!

shleebeed ,

I appreciate the insights!

Thanks for all the info! I also love the banter
