from TravelEssary · host Jeremy and Misty Essary

Send us Fan MailWhat We’d Do Different After a Year of RV LivingAfter seven months of full-time travel and more than a year living in a fifth wheel, we’re looking back at all the things we thought we’d need, the things we absolutely didn’t, and the little changes we’d make if we could start this journey all over again.In this episode, we talk about the lessons we’ve learned from life on the road so far. Some practical, some funny, and some that only make sense after you’ve lived in a tiny space with your entire life packed into 500 sq feet.We also share a small update for the podcast. Going forward, new episodes will release every other Friday so we can focus on making each episode more consistent and higher quality, while still keeping monthly bonus content going over on Patreon.We chat about what we’d do differently if we had a do-over, including:Starting sooner instead of waiting for the “perfect” timePreparing earlier so we could slowly collect RV-specific gear before hitting the roadBringing way less stuff and letting go of all the “what if we need this someday?” totes that have barely been touchedStocking up on favorite regional foods and hard-to-find ingredients we’ve discovered along the wayAdding more outdoor gear for parks without many amenities, since we spend way more time outside than we expectedRelaxing our travel planning and relying more on local recommendations instead of over-researching every stop before we arriveFrom missing Best Maid pickles and Alabama white sauce to realizing some of our favorite memories came from completely unplanned moments, this episode is a fun and honest look at how travel changes the way you think about home, routines, and what actually matters.Support the showYou can follow us on: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560303402595Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/travelessaryYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TravelEssaryTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@travelessaryPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/TravelEssaryMisty's Author Website - https:mistyessary.com/
