S2 : Ep 1 : Chris and Noel | Lessons From The Road
Chris and Noel, a retired couple, share their journey of selling all their possessions and traveling full-time in an RV. They discuss their teaching careers, coming out experiences, and the challenges they faced in a different time. They also talk about the impact of COVID-19 on their travels and the unexpected surprises they encountered along the way. Noel and Chris share their experiences of embracing the unexpected, learning to be flexible, and finding joy in the beauty and messiness of travel. They discuss the value of summiting difficult hikes and the diversity of geography and national parks. As a same-sex couple, they reflect on their positive experiences on the road and the inclusivity of the RVing community. They also discuss their role as Winnebago ambassadors and the importance of community in the RVing lifestyle. Their advice to potential RVers is to take the leap and start exploring, no matter how small the first step may be.

If you are struggling, please know that you are wanted, needed, and valued. You can connect to help from the National Suicide Prevention Hotline by calling 988. or reach out to The Trevor Project for assistance. The world wouldn't be the same without you.

Customer Reviews
Finding Your True North
I was glad to see Matt Bloom on this podcast because I have followed Matt on Instagram for years and he’s always been a phenomenal photographer, a great trip leader, a supportive partner as with his boyfriend, and always somebody that seems to be living his true, authentic self in the environment that he has found that re-energize him spiritually emotionally and physically. For folks listening to the podcast, may have gotten a sense of that. His sharing about the trips he has done on his own or in leading groups, you can really tell that he knows his stuff, that he cares about the environment and the groups he works with, and he loves the outdoors. He is also a pretty cool role model too.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for!
As an out marine biologist and environmental scientist working for the government, I was always curious if I was a minority in that aspect or if it was just because of my area. I’ve been searching for a podcast that combined my interest in outdoors with my lgbtq+ identity. I’ve never found one that wasn’t more focused on gay culture in general or politics. I’m pretty excited about this one after hearing the first episode! Looking forward to more :)
