Chris and Jessie from Seek Your Epic have explored more than 50 countries, traveled full-time in an RV, cruised around the globe, and road schooled their kids along the way. This conversation isn't just about where they've been—it's about the places that surprised them, the travel lessons they learned, and the practical tips they've picked up after years of exploring the world as a family.

| They Built the RV Life They Used to Dream About—Without Leaving It All Behind | @sleepyadventurers | 22 juil. 2026 | 00:54:36 | |
Most families dream about traveling more someday. Kristen and Brian decided they weren't going to wait for retirement. Without living in their RV full-time, they've figured out how to spend nearly 20 weeks every year exploring the country with their kids—all while balancing work, homeschooling and the realities of everyday life. Along the way, they've survived tornadoes, visited 49/50 states, and discovered that some of the best parts of RV life aren't the places at all—it's the people you meet.

| She Bet on Herself, Chose Travel, and It Changed Everything | @AngieAway | 15 juil. 2026 | 01:05:31 | |
What does it really take to build a life around travel—before travel creators were even a thing? Angie built an impressive life in PR, interviewed with Donald Trump during The Apprentice, and experienced unforgettable moments like going behind the scenes at Harry Potter and Universal. But somewhere along the way, she realized she wanted something different. She took the leap, left her successful career in NYC, and built a life centered around travel—one unexpected adventure, reinvention, and "yes" at a time. Now, she's the host of the popular podcast - Traveling with AAA! If you've ever wondered what happens when you stop playing it safe and start choosing the life you actually want, this episode is for you. This episode is for you if you've ever wondered:

She was convinced she’d hate RV life… but also knew their “normal” life needed a change… In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Jeff and Monica Grant — a family who didn’t set out dreaming about RV life… but found themselves rethinking everything when packed schedules and housing frustrations weren’t giving them the life they actually wanted.

What if the goal isn’t to do it all perfectly… but to do it well enough to actually enjoy your life? In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Stephanee to talk about full-time RV living, motherhood, and the quiet pressure so many women carry to “do it right” — and what happens when you finally let that go. Their first attempt at RV life didn’t work. They stepped away. Regrouped. And came back with a completely different mindset — one rooted in flexibility, community, and embracing what she calls a “perfectly good enough” life. This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered:

This wasn’t about travel at first — it was about feeling stuck… and doing something about it. In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Jessica from @We Chose Adventures to talk about how she went from an overwhelmed mom to building a life centered around outdoor adventure, homeschooling, and meaningful family travel. What started as simply getting her kids outside turned into something much bigger — a complete lifestyle shift that redefined how her family lives, learns, and explores together.

| Our RV Broke Down on the Way to a Funeral — And No One Could Help | 01 avr. 2026 | 00:18:35 | |
We thought we were prepared for anything… until our RV broke down and no one could help us. In this episode of Take the Trip, Bill and I share one of the most stressful travel days we’ve ever had — when our Keystone RV majorly malfunctioned just an hour into a drive home for a funeral. What started as a routine travel day quickly turned into a full-blown roadside nightmare. Our leveling jacks/slide came down while towing and just wouldn’t retract - we were stuck on the side of the road with kids in extreme heat, and to make things worse — roadside assistance told us no one could tow us because our rig was too big. Thankfully no one was injured, but it was scary and so very stressful. Yeah… not exactly the plan. We walk through exactly what happened, how we handled it in real time, and what we learned the hard way about RV maintenance, coverage, and problem-solving on the road.

What would it take for you to completely change your life? In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Alex and Libby from TravelinThoms to talk about how a major health scare in their 20s completely shifted their perspective — and ultimately led them to build a life on the road. What started as weekend trips turned into full-time RV living, all while navigating the newlywed phase, demanding jobs, and running an Airbnb back home. And yes — they’re doing it with a baby. We talk about what it actually looks like to pivot your life after something unexpected, how they made travel sustainable, and why they chose not to follow the “sell everything” version of RV life.

Luxury cruises, chaotic camping trips, Canadian travel hot-tips – and one travel mistake that could ruin your entire trip.

| Hundreds of Campgrounds — And This Neighbor Drama Was a First | "City Boy" | 04 mars 2026 | 00:17:47 | |
Ever had a camping trip take a turn you absolutely did not see coming? In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with my husband to share the story of a camping experience that started off very normal… and escalated into one of the strangest campground encounters we have had after 5 years of RVing. What began as a normal, beautiful l stay quickly shifted when loud neighbors pushed the limits — and a polite midnight request to quiet down didn’t go as expected. We made a choice that most of the internet did NOT agree with. Sometimes the most challenging part of the adventure isn’t the mountains or trails — it’s navigating people. If you’ve ever wondered: -What do you do when campground neighbors cross the line? -What does “choosing peace” actually look like in action? In this episode, we talk about: • The camping trip that took an unexpected turn • Awkward confrontations • The surprisingly intense and unhinged reactions from the internet afterward • What Bill REALLY thinks of our embarrassing reels and my content shenanigans. RV living isn’t just scenic drives and cozy campfires. Sometimes it’s midnight drama and deciding who you want to be when things get weird. Whether you’re living full-time in an RV, love weekend camping trips, or just appreciate a wild story from the road — this episode is equal parts bizarre, honest, and reflective. 🎙️ Take the Trip Podcast - Real Talk.

| They Built a Life on the Road — Before It Was Cool | @Nomad.Nesters | 25 févr. 2026 | 01:09:00 | |
Full-time RV living wasn’t trendy when they started — it was risky, uncertain, and a little bit wild. In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Vern and Katie of Nomad Nesters — a family who chose full-time RV living before Instagram, before remote work was normal, and before there was a roadmap for how to do it “right.” What began as a spontaneous trip turned into a decade on the road. No smartphones. No curated feeds. Just lawn chairs in an empty house, a questionable RV, and a decision that changed everything. We talk about what it actually looked like to build a family lifestyle around adventure before it was popular — the breakdowns, the early RV community built through forums and rallies, homeschooling long before it was mainstream, and how reality TV only captured a tiny fraction of their story. This one’s for you if you’ve ever wondered: -Can full-time RV living actually strengthen a family — or does it expose every crack? -What’s it really like to be stars of a reality TV show? -What did RV life look like before the boom, the influencers, and the aesthetics? In this episode, we talk about:
Full-time RV living isn’t just about adventure — it’s about who you become when you're following your dreams and there is no crowd to follow. Whether you’re deep in the RV lifestyle, dreaming about family travel, or just curious what life on the road really looks like this conversation is honest, reflective, and full of perspective. 🎙️ Take the Trip Podcast Unfiltered travel.

RV life isn’t just about the places you go — it’s about who you become along the way. In this episode of Take the Trip, I sit down with Kelly and Oscar from Spark Love and Wellness for an honest conversation about RV living, family, sobriety, health, and the power of community when you choose a less traditional lifestyle. We talk about the early days of full-time travel — when excitement gave way to isolation — and how intentionally building community completely changed their experience. From parenting teens on the road, to prioritizing wellness (without perfection), to navigating sobriety in social travel spaces, this episode gets real about what it actually takes to thrive as a family on the road. This one’s for you if you’ve ever wondered:
