Jessy Muller on Taking the Slow Road and Living Full-Time in Her Vintage Commander

from The Overland Journal Podcast · host iHeartPodcasts

Scott interviews Jesse “Slow Roamer,” a content creator living full-time on the road in a 1978 Dodge Commander since 2017, about “slow travel” as a way to be present, avoid burnout, and build deeper experiences. They discuss how road life unexpectedly brought Jesse more community, her role educating followers on Leave No Trace and trail etiquette amid growing backcountry crowds, and how she finds boondocking spots by avoiding tourist hubs and using iOverlander while considering road conditions and cell service. Jesse shares practical comfort and self-sufficiency tips (fans, a small evaporative cooler, ice packs for her cat, simple cooking, composting toilet, water conservation, and sponge-bath routines), solo safety strategies (arrive early, plan backups, share location, lock doors, motion lights, tidy camp), and advice for newcomers, including sorting vehicle mechanics before launching.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
