Adventure Kitty: All About RVing with a Cat

My guest this week is Portia. Portia made the brave decision to leave an abusive marriage and to hit the road.   She bought an old RV and hit the road—traveling for three years full time. She talks about the decision to leave the marriage, why traveling in an RV was such a great move for her and share some of her top adventures she had on the road.  Key Take-Aways 1.    All that really matters when purchasing an RV is the engine.  2.    People by their very nature like to help. And it makes them feel good to help. So don’t deny someone the opportunity to feel good.  3.    There is an RV campground at Disney World. Fort Wilderness 4. Portia had some amazing experiences and there were also some isolated moments. But boy did she get the change of scenery she needed.

She Needed a Change of Scenery and Escape from an Abusive Marriage

As I am recording this, there is a wildfire burning just 40miles from me. I can see the smoke from my campground. Firefighters are swooping in with airplanes to collect water from my lake to douse the fire. The place where the fire started is right near a campground that I’ve camped at.    I decided to pull this episode from the archives. It’s an interview with Lisa Knight who is a fire fighter, EMT and avid camper. She shares with us her best tips for preventing a wildfire and also what to do in the unlikely event you find yourself camping when a wildfire breaks out.

My Camp Hosting Job Summer 2023

This week on the podcast I speak with Shannon. Shannon headed out on the road after her first home was destroyed in a storm. She bought a cheap van, did a minimal build and set out. She received some assistance along the way, but when her money ran out, she had some medical and van issues, she now finds herself in a precarious situation. She wanted to come on and share her story so that others can learn from her situation. Shannon definitely had some angels come to her rescue along the way. I really appreciate her vulnerability for sharing all that’s happened to her. And I also appreciate her outlook—she continues to find the good in all that’s happened to her.

Shannon's Cautionary Vanlife Tale

This week on the podcast I share all about my new RV. I've been traveling in a 2000 American Cruiser Class B RV and if you've listened to this show for a while, you know I've had my share of break-downs. I was hoping to get one more season out of my RV that I call "Squeaky," but the universe had other plans.  What happened? What kind of RV did I ultimately get? And most of all, how do I like it?

Supporting Women in the RV Industry: The RV Women's Alliance

Debra Dickinson was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, so severe that she had to have a trustee help her with her financial decisions. Yet, when she got the news that things were getting worse and she might not live a year and if she did, she wouldn’t remember it, she did something quite brash. Debra set out to travel—something that had been on her bucket list.  Debra Dickinson not only did not die--she is now thriving on the road. She's found a way to make solo nomad life work for her and she's even created a community that support one another out on the road. She is the author of six books (and counting!) She's got a Youtube channel, hosts a yearly gathering and is a resource and support for others out on the road.   Debra’s story is quite remarkable and I am feel blessed that’s she shared it with us all.

She Hit the Road to Die, It Ended up Saving Her Life

This week on the podcast my guest is Maria Boutzoukas, a solo female vanlifer who dreamed of living in a van since she was a kid. She has so many people, and even the voices in her head, telling her that selling her house and moving into a van wasn't practical. But now that she's done it, she know she made the right decision.  We talk about all the ups and downs that came from selecting obtaining a van, building it out and finally hitting the road. Maria has ADHD and she quickly discovered that life on the road actually helped her symptoms. The constant changing scenery makes her feel more calm. She's loving life on the road and share a bit of her story with us.   Key Take Aways: 1.    There are a lot of ways to make community. Take advantage of them. Maria and I have never met in person, but we were part of a group on Clubhouse and then started to follow each other on Instagram. This interview was our first time actually chatting and now I feel like if we do meet up in real life, we’ll have so much to connect about.  2.    With her ADHD diagnosis, the continuous chaos of moving and changing her environment actually helps her stay calm and focused. The constant change of scenery inspires her creativity and that helps at her job.    3.    Rolling with the punches—going with the flow. When Maria didn’t get her van as expected, she showed a key trait of successful rv/van living. She pivoted and sketched the whole thing out so she could start the build as soon as she got it.  4.    Because Maria travels and works full time from her van, she needed a really good cellular set up. She consulted with engineers and settled on a pep wave and Starlink system. She’s still trying to dial it in exactly. But like many things in this lifestyle, we try and tweak and adjust until we get it right.     ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/solowomenrv/support

My friend Sari reached out to me to let me know she was going on her very first solo camping trip--her first time camping as an adult--at age 47. I first interviewed Sari back in July 2021 and I'm sharing her story again because she is such a good story teller. She shares everything she did to prepare and the funny mishaps that happened along the way. After listening to Sari's story, you'll never look at guacamole the same way again.

The 9 Ways I Make Money as a Solo Woman RVer

My guest this week is Val Nelson, a career and business coach who works with women who want to start their own businesses. Val and I talk about why coaching can be a great business for women who live on the road and why RVers are especially suited for entrepreneurship.  Key Take-Aways:   Val is a business and career coach. But that’s had several iterations along the way. She coached on starting an online business, marketing consulting and other iterations before she honed in on coaching introverted and highly sensitive women who want to run their own businesses. So, you can start where you are and it doesn’t mean that’s where you will end up.  If you’re thinking of starting a business, make sure it’s something you really enjoy, that you get excited about. Because if you’re not, you won’t be successful at it.  Being a coach can be a great business to start to sustain you while you travel. There are all different kinds of coaches. Again, find your passion.  If you’re an RVer you have the entrepreneurial spirit.  There’s a lot of worries that people have around starting their own business, but just like living an RV lifestyle, there are those who have gone before you who can help you figure it out.

Kristin Hanes: Making Money while you Travel with a Niche Site

Have you ever wanted to attend a gathering where you could hang out with other solo women who RV, camp and live in vans? This week on the podcast, I interview Merissa Peterson who is the onsite event coordinator for A Roam of Our Own, a women-only vanlife gathering March 16-19, 2023 in Palm Springs, California. Take Aways: 1. A roam of our Own—March 16-19, 2023 just outside of Palm Springs, CA. Cost is about $100 per person.  2. They are still looking for people to lead events or a craft and discounts are available for workshop presenters. Reach out to josiah@thejournaloflosttime.com if you're interested.  3. This event is not a big party event like some vanlifer gatherings. Expect it to be chill and inviting.

Loneliness can be a part of solo travel. But loneliness doesn't have to be a bad thing. There are things you can learn about yourself by being solo that you won't be able to learn any other way.  On this episode I share some of my thoughts about loneliness and solo travel and I also share some ideas from other solo female travelers about how they cope with loneliness on the road.   Connect with Other Solo Women RVers Solo Women RV blog: Solo Women RV Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/3139043422990289 Solo Women RV Theme song is Fields Station by Nikole Potulsky  ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/solowomenrv/support

Loneliness and Solo RV Travel

Brenda Puckett

Today we’re going to talk about propane.  Many women are nervous about their propane systems—they’re fearful of a fire, an explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning. Our guest today, Brenda Puckett from Queen Bee RV is here to quell our fears and tell us all we need to know to safely use propane in our RVs. Takeaways: 1. Propane is liquified petroleum and it’s an important fuel for our RVs. The more you understand it and how it works, the more empowered you’ll be to use it safely. 2. Propane can cause issues if there is a leak in your line.  Get a professional Leak Drop test annually and perform DIY checks as often as makes you feel safe. 3. Carbon monoxide detectors are your first line of defense against a carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure your batteries are charged or you have fresh 9 volt batteries for those to operate properly. 4. Have a fire extinguisher and know how to use it. 5. Make sure your emergency exit is operative. 6. While some in the RV industry claim it is safe to drive with your propane lines open, Brenda does not recommend it. 7. If you have a towable with removable propane cylinders, they have an expiration date. Make sure to check for it. Mounted tanks do not have an expiration date. 8. Keep your propane tanks full in cold weather, as they’ll be more efficient. 9. Always vent when cooking with propane.
