Scott Watson has many times said you were his inspiration for RV travel, as he was mine. I can see why now. This first podcast really highlights the passion and sincerity you have not only regarding the RV lifestyle, but with the ‘living life’ lifestyle. You are honest about the difficulties you encountered and enthusiastic about your lives together.
The indelible mark you have left on so many in the community has created a positive impact throughout… can’t wait for episode 2!!
Be seeing you!

Congratulations on the pod cast. I enjoyed hearing your stories. I have enjoyed your youtube videos as well. Much luck with both.

So so so enjoyed hearing your origin story (again)… Take Risks! Congrats on your first “podcast”. We’re The Russo’s continue to by my RV Heroes! Without Joe and Kait doing YouTube from their Hymer camper van I would not be doing Vanlife, now in my 5th year of full-time travel. Thank you so much Joe and Kait. Journey on !!

29:01 this was what I am so happy to hear from a woman. You be amazed how many women ignore this fact and it destroyed relationships. Good on you Kate! Loving the podcast already😊

Happy New Year to you both! I was so excited to see that you're starting a podcast. I love it already! It was great to hear in-depth and behind the scenes from each of your perspectives, the insights you've gained. Looking forward to the next episode! 😊

[patrickmullen]

Thanks for a genuine sharing session. We also appreciate having our 'own' homemade to return to.

[JayJayFromAZ]

I can’t go through life without family. Meaning having kids. You’re both meant for each other for sure.

[cuorips]

This is great; I cannot wait for the next one!

During “Covid” 2021-2022 we were able to isolate and travel the country, all the places we went to were either closed or totally empty and unmanned. Summer of 2021 we went on a 90 day run to the “big 5” I’ll never be the same again. We own a 2020 Thor Sequence 20L van. ❤

[Raquel]

I’m only 20 sec in and I’m so excited! KAIT! YOUR HAIR HAS GOTTEN SOOO NICE!

[TheGbortnick]

Enjoyed your podcast. We have been RV owners for 27 years - always having two - one small and one large and a home too! After many RVs we stayed home during 2021 and built an RV from a box trailer and had ball at 76 years old. We love it and its the only one and love it. We named it the Tramper!

[Brigand]

Regardless of how the podcast turns out, congratulations on making another one of your dreams real!

[ajudylee]

We followed you almost from the beginning of your adventures .. has been a great tool in helping us know what to expect and and help avoid many pitfalls . .

I grew up in a family that didn't go camping at all. My mom experienced a road trip from Oregon to Wisconsin (to visit relatives) in the 1920's as a child, sleeping in barns and it just wasn't something that she wanted to repeat. My dad worked in the woods and then drove a log truck before becoming a barber prior to World War II, and spent the war in the South Pacific, and I'm not sure that he ever expressed a desire to go camping - if he did, the idea would have been rapidly shut down by my mom. We vacationed by spending time in motels in the 1950's and 60's.
My first "camping" experience was in the 1990's, some friends wanted me to go camping with them, and I said that I would if I could rent an RV and we did it together. So, that trip was amazing!!! We picked out a route, spent several days on a lake in the high Cascades, then road tripped to the Columbia Gorge before heading home. I then ended up doing tent camping for a number of years, eventually buying a used trailer, selling it and buying another, and then selling that and buying into a partnership with three other couples in fractional ownership of a park model RV at a resort in Central Oregon. The current model of camping/RVing will probably change when we hit semi-retirement and then retirement, but we're not yet sure which way things will go. Right now, we're primarily focused on "doing as little as possible, as hard as possible."

Before the pandemic, there were some youtubers travelling the world doing travels through South America and had quite popular videos. When they had to return to the US due to the pandemic, the US Parks service changed the rules when recording videos in the national parks if the video recorders were youtubers living from paid promotions and youtube monetization.

Really loved your first Podcast. I've always loved your videos. I'm not sure you'll remember me, but I ran into you both at an HEB in Conroe Texas in 2018. It was an odd situation because I really didn't know what to say and you two recognized that and approached me to break the ice. Thanks again for sharing and being real with us.
