Josh and Brittain are the husband+wife duo behind OutofNorm.al - where their mantra is life, unwasted. The two of them have been galavanting all over the country in an '88 Airstream for the past 2.5 years...and counting. They seek out small towns, BLM lands and the next vintage camper they can renovate for their AirBNB glamping business.     They were inspired to live life on the road after a date to an RV show in their hometown of Kansas City. Their jobs at the time required 100% travel, making life on the road only a choice away. After a wedding and the purchase of their Airstream, they gave themselves a kick out the door to life on the road.   They're currently posted up in Nashville where they've found a 1987 Airstream 345 motorcoach to add to their BnB fleet. This classy coach - affectionately named "Maxwell" - will soon be available for glamping in the Nashville area.   Some highlights from this episode:   1:00 - Finding the 345 motorcoach 4:30 - Getting into RVing 7:00 - Life before RVing 11:00 - Advice for work on the road and RVing 17:00 - Favorite experiences 21:00 - The RV culture and community 25:00 - Social impact and Airbnb glamping business 33:30 - What’s next for travels?

Tammy Fromm

In this episode, Sam interviews Tom and Tammy Fromm, who have been traveling around the country in an RV for the past three years and roadschooling their two daughters, Savannah and Vanessa. When the Fromm family started traveling more than they were home (and the public school system started complaining about their travel schedule and Savannah's studies), they decided to make the shift to homeschooling and look into RV life. When their house didn't sell as quickly as they hoped, they decided to buy an RV and jump in anyways.
