Happy Thanksgiving and a Big Announcement

Posted by on Nov 26 2015

Happy (US) Thanksgiving, everyone!

Eric and I have kicked off a new weekly Video Podcast on Blab.im called _The Nomadic Fanatics_
Fridays 6pm Pacific – 9pm Eastern – 0200 GMT

The Nomadic Fanatics will be a video podcast about working people 18-55 who have chosen a nomadic lifestyle, whether that is in an RV of any sort, a van, a boat, AirBnB, or even just a backpack, a business plan, and a thumb.

Being that it’s Thanksgiving, we don’t have a guest lined up for this week, so we’ll take your questions.

In the coming weeks, we’ll have appearances by
* VanGrrl from YouTube talking about her transition to Van Life in the Pacific Northwest
* Jason and Kristin Snow – the Snowmads – who will be attending the RVIA show in Louisville, KY next weekend. They’ll have a wrapup for us on what to expect from the RV Industry in 2016.

We look forward to seeing you all on the show tomorrow night!

RV Fulltiming S1E2

Posted by on Nov 07 2015

Season 1 Episode 2 of RV Fulltiming on Blab.im
Scheduled for 60-90 minutes originally, we had such a great panel and audience that we ran long. Three hours long. =)

Feel free to skip around the video, or put it on in the background while you work or play!

In this episode: @YarrVee, @RVLady1, @xsyntriknomad, @Kallistia, and others talking about RVing fulltime, RV Lady’s birthday, Xsyntrinomad’s birthday, what it’s like being a Scorpio, How we all got out start and what made us decide to make the leap to fulltiming, among many, many other topics.

YarrVee Fulltiming Hangout S1 E1

Posted by on Nov 02 2015

Skip forward to 9:15 for an echo-free experience!!!

After the RV Women’s Hangout on Sunday, we had a quick panel on Blab.im talking about RVing and about using Blab.im as a platform for video chat and panels. I wish we’d had more success eliminating the echoes and feedback at the beginning.

We had a few technical issues, but overall it was a grand success!

Let us know what you think!
