Ever wondered what it would be like to explore the world in 70 square feet entirely alone? On “My Solo Road”, Sydney brings you along her journey of traveling in a van as a solo female. While tackling struggles such as safety, finances, and loneliness, she also shares stories about life on the road, every day experiences, and how she got here. Grab a glass of wine or a beer (she’s got one) and learn how one woman escaped her 80 hour work week to live a messy, yet beautiful dream.

The Definition of Partners | ft. Samandkellysvan
Today we are joined by one of the most positive and uplifting couples I know, Sam & Kelly! They have been such great friends over the past few years and I can’t wait for you to hear all about their journey from being a couple in high school to living in a van with their dog sunny! We get into how van life has impacted their long-term relationship, prioritizing hobbies for joy (whether you’re in a van or not), and what they are manifesting for the future. They are two people that you can’t help but feel good around and it definitely translates in this episode!

Planning a Wedding & Our Family Dog Died | ft. My Parents
You asked and I delivered, my parents are back for a life update! Since I was home for a few days I thought it was the perfect time to catch up with them here on the podcast. We dive into my parents' thoughts on the engagement & wedding planning, the family dogs (Daisy & RIP Delilah), Henry's experience using my dad's ice bath right before this recording, and an abundance of Disney hacks & tips since we are a *Disney family* and it’s the most magical place to be!

Single-Handedly Saving Dogs’ Lives | ft. Lauren, The Animal Pad
Today Lauren from “The Animal Pad'' is giving us a peek into her world of animal rescue! The passion that this woman has for animal rescue pours out of her, as you’ll see in this episode! She shares with us some first hand stories about dog rescues in Baja, Mexico, her experience with compassion fatigue, the red flags you need to look out for if you’re going to buy from a breeder or a rescue (she spills the tea on this since she just rescued 111 dogs from a breeder!), and how you can help. Animal rescue is an intense yet very rewarding operation and we shined the light on both!

What Don’t We Talk About | ft. Destiny & Liz
Destiny and Liz from @choosethepathyoutake join us this week to talk all about following your gut feelings + making an income on the road. They have been living on the road for 8 months so we dive into what that looks like as a BIPOC & LGBTQ+ couple with two dogs and their favorite thing about van life (+ not so favorite experiences). And they share many reminders that if van life is what you want to do, you CAN make it work!

Queer Safety & a Vintage Van | ft. Gene & Shay
Today we are sitting down with my good friends Gene + Shay! They are a queer couple that started their van life journey in 2020 in their 1984 dodge campervan and two cats Bean + Sprout. We’re diving into what it’s like to have two cats on the road, queer van life including how Gene (they/them) navigates places as a non-binary individual, their timelines of coming out, and the lessons that they have learned on the road. They also remind us that things will test you on the road but it’s always worth it!
