| What's it Like to Work at Yellowstone National Park? | 08 Feb 2024 | 00:40:10 | |
In this episode we’re going to learn about what it’s like to work at Yellowstone National Park. When I visited Yellowstone a few years ago, I fell in love and said to myself that I'd love to return to work here one day. What's it really like to work at Yellowstone National Park? I have two guests on the show today who share their experience and knowledge about working at Yellowstone as solo women RVers. My guests are Jan, solo woman RVer who has worked at Yellowstone for 12 years and Alden who is the Talent Acquisitions manager, who handles a lot of the hiring at Yellowstone. She shares about what it takes to get hired and succeed as a Yellowstone National Park employee. Show Notes: 1. Qualities that make someone successful: willingness to learn, to be flexible, to be willing to be part of the community. 2. Some of the RV sites are reserved for couples, but there are still plenty of opportunities at Yellowstone for Solos—and also there is housing provided if you don’t have a fully self-contained RV. 3. Part of your salary will go toward housing—whether you’re in a dorm or in an RV. Meal plans are also offered. 4. You can work at Yellowstone with a pet, but it needs to always be on a leash. And always attended to. 5. Community is a big part of working at Yellowstone. It’s such a big park, you’re likely to find community in the district of the park you’re in.

| Simple RV Renovations You can Do Yourself | 21 Dec 2023 | 00:29:59 | |
Have you ever thought about renovating your RV's interior? Most RVs don't roll off the lot with the most stunning interiors. But with a few simple touches, you can make your RV feel homey and reflect your personality. My guest this week is Tessa Terry from Alchemy RV Renovations. Tessa shares some inexpensive and easy things you can do to give your RV a fresh new look. Listen in! Key Takeaways: 1. No matter what you’re doing to upgrade your RV, consider that your home is going to be going through an earthquake every time you travel. 2. Everything you put into the RV has to go through the front door. 3. With small spaces, buy the best quality you can afford. It will pay off in the long run. 4. Easy thing to spruce up your space: buy new hardware for your cabinets, replace the lights, paint vent covers, a fresh bedspread will all make your place look new. And don’t under estimate how much difference a deep cleaning can make. 5. Speaking of cleaning, when choosing fabrics and flooring get types that are easy to clean. 6. To avoid overwhelm, don’t gut the whole RV at once. Do one room or area at a time. Show Notes: The Solo Women RV podcast theme song is Fields Station by Nikole Potulsky | |||

| Wildfire Safety with Lisa Knight | 13 Jul 2023 | 00:45:39 | |
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. Connect with Other Solo Women RVers
