Hello from Sicily! Living and traveling in a camper van offers an unbeatable sense of freedom, this life enables you to pick up and move wherever, whenever; to see the mountains one morning and ocean the next. This week I invite my friends Victoria and Melvin (aka "Timeless Adventure", currently located in Portugal) who also quit their jobs, sold their belongings and bought a camper van.  Questions we answer is: 1. When are you going to return to the “real world”? 2. Do you ever get tired of living in such a small space? 3. Where do you park your RV? Do you just stay at RV parks? 4. How long do you typically stay in one place? 5. How long did it take you to downsize? 6. Will you travel when you have kids? 7. What do you do for making money on the road? I hope this episode gives you a bit of insight into what it’s like living and traveling full-time in an RV.    ↠↠ Follow Melvin & Victoria from "Timeless Adventure" ↞↞ http://www.timelessadv.com https://www.facebook.com/TimelessAdv instagram.com/timelessa

We put so much pressure on each other — and especially on ourselves — to slip into this perfect professional life, and we never stop to consider if it’s actually what we want. What I’ve learned from sharing my story is that it can invite others to share their story. It can also inspire someone to take action. Send me your thoughts.. feel free to ask questions!

Full time is NOT for everyone and while there are pros and cons, I think the pros outweighed the cons. There is Facebook groups, podcasts, bloggers etcetera who only share positive and cool updates from their full-time RV-lives. But is fulltime RVing for everyone? No! And not all RVs are up to full timing. Hear my perspective on some of the benefits and challenges of full-time RV living in this episode. Let's start with the pros: NO HOUSE PAYMENT! Less cleaning, more me-time dog-time party-time reading-time more time outside and meeting new people and debt free.  Wherever you go, you will have all your stuff with you. No more forgetting your toothbrush or sweatshirt. Cons: Laundry, where to empty the toilet and gray tank, you’ll be putting far more mental time into adapting to new situations than you’re used to, and less time just living and no long warm showers. One thing beginners forget is that when vehicles move, things eventually break. Campground wifi is horrible most of the time but I don’t park there

I get many questions about my expenses as a minimalist living in an RV, I answer the most common questions in this episode.

Im escaping my 9 to 5 as a radio host at the Swedish Radio after 8 years and following my passion instead! From today on, my job is to create podcasts for myself and people I believe in. That's why I am launching this podcast about simple living in a RV. So whats my story? I was born in Sweden into a Kurdish Armenian family that only wanted the best for me, so they gave me the basics of life and society – so that I could fit in. After a decade in the rat race, I realized that we put so much pressure on each other and especially on ourselves. We do this so that we can slip into this perfect professional life and we never stop to consider if it’s actually what we want. I loved my job as a radio and TV host. My job defined me. I was my job. But then again, my personality made me a perfect match for my job in the entertainment indrustry. I chose my work — it didn’t choose me. And then everything changed. I sold and donated all my possessions almost 2 years ago. I bought an RV and I have lived in it with my dog fo
