Rewilding Parenthood

Ep. 38 | Why We Left (Repeat) Sep 30, 2020

Over the last 10 episodes we’ve provided an almost weekly glimpse into our life on the road, the adventures unfolding before us and some of the regular questions we are asked. The last handful of episodes have been recorded from our home in South Portland, ME and this week, we’ve decided to replay our first episode which in our opinion really captures the whole purpose of what we were going through in the lead up to the departure.

So, here we are now two years later, moving into our final month off the road, preparing our house again to rent for who knows how long to support us on the road again. So as we come to a close on this micro chapter, we thought it would be a great opportunity to share our initial episode again for all of our new listeners. We are going to take a wee hiatus from the podcast for another six weeks and we will be back before the end of 2020 after we reunite with our van and commence the journey again in earnest.

Thank you again for your ongoing support and look forward to sharing new shows later this year.

Ep. 37 | Exploring Vancouver Island by Bike and Van Sep 18, 2020

This week we are heading to the exact opposite end of North America - not quite Alaska, but pretty darn close. Vancouver Island has been a place I’ve wanted to visit for years. After my first trip to Whistler, I dreamed of living in British Columbia with access to incredible mountains, plenty of snow and Vancouver Island just a jump across the channel.

Last August, we set aside a month to explore this magical island and instead of just doing it by van, we got support from some sponsors to document a bike/van family expedition. In this episode we are going to cover our journey and some of our favorite spots along the way.

Ep. 36 | Camping in Dry Tortugas National Park in the Florida Keys Sep 03, 2020

I refer to the Dry Tortugas as Americas most exotic National Park as it is 68 miles SW off of Key West - literally a pile of 7 islands and a massive historic brick fort in the middle of the turquoise Carribean waters and a halfway point to Cuba.

To be honest I had never even heard of the Dry Tortugas, so when we began researching what we could do for a week on the Florida Keys, it popped on my radar and we knew we had to go. However the high speed catamaran booking agent laughed at my request telling me that I bookings were available for 2020 (It was January 2019….)

Anyway, I wouldn’t give up when I saw what was possible - a 2 hour high speed catamaran, access to just 8 National Park Campsites, incredible snorkeling, an enormous fortress, sunken ships with gold and treasure and most importantly - an escape from the continental United States to a tropical paradise.

In this week’s episode we will talk about the planning process, making it happen in the face of repeated no’s and what we found in this tropical paradise. For more long form writing, check out this blog on the trip.

Ep. 35 | Nova Scotia | A 508D Shakedown Tour Aug 27, 2020

So the last three part series was so fun, we thought we’d dive into another micro series about some our favorite and most exotic destinations we’ve traveled to over the last two years. Literally two years ago, just about a month after we purchased the van, we took a two week test trip up to Nova Scotia and that is what this episode is going to be all about. White sand beaches, logging road adventures, epic surf break set ups and great people are just a few of the highlights.

There were so many reasons to go and we are so thankful that we did because it informed our design decisions in the van and provided a clear buffer between what life was like before and after the trip. We’ll also cover a few spots that we think shouldn’t be missed and why van life in the Eastern Canadian Provinces in the summer is the place to be.

Thanks for tuning into the Rewinding Parenthood Podcast. If you want to give back, please consider leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or share with your community. Thanks so much for tuning in this week - enjoy the episode on Nova Scotia.

Ep. 34 | Buying an Abandoned Jack Rabbit Cabin in Joshua Tree, CA | Part 3 Aug 20, 2020

So the final episode of this series covers our process navigating the legalities of owning an historic Jack Rabbit recreational cabin the Morongo Valley Basin. As a brief overview of what Jack Rabbit Cabins are and their history I will reference the Jack Rabbit Homestead Audio Project:

BEYOND THE PROLIFERATION of big box chains, car dealerships, fast food joints, and the nameless sprawl located along California State Highway 62 the desert opens up. Out there, where signs of familiar habitation seem to fade from view, a variance appears in the landscape in the form of small, dusty cabins—mostly abandoned and scattered across the landscape. The majority of the existing shacks, historically found throughout the larger region known as the Morongo Basin, lie east of Twentynine Palms in outlying Wonder Valley. The curious presence of these structures indicates that you are entering one of the remaining communities of “jackrabbit homesteads” left in the American West. The mostly derelict structures located among the occasional inhabited ones are the remaining physical evidence of former occupants who were some of the last to receive land from Uncle Sam for a nominal fee through the Small Tract Act of 1938.

While we were aware of the history, we didn’t understand how the county was going to attempt to “upgrade” the housing stock in the valley, specifically targeting Jack Rabbit Cabins with challenging rules and regulations. However, during the process of our build the law changed again and instead of making it more difficult it became easier to transition from a cabin to a Single Family Home and we are in the process of doing so while protecting the historic nature of the cabin.

The @afueravidacasita is available for rent for long and short term throughout the year and we expect to keep this magical place as part of our lifestyle for years to come. The desert provided us with so much to reflect and grow while learning from the pace of life seen in the desert seasons.

Ep. 33 | Buying an Abandoned Jack Rabbit Cabin in Joshua Tree, CA | Part 2 Aug 13, 2020

Welcome to episode two of the three part series - Buying an Abandoned Cabin in Joshua Tree, CA.

This Episode covers the first couple months on the property - from the moment we took the keys, to the moment we realized we may have made a terrible investment. There are way too many stories to pack into a 30 minute show, but this covers the highlights.

We really wanted to deliver a sense of what the days were like and how we approached the project as a family living off the grid. Over the first few months the only amenity was running water through a hose, which was a godsend, but everything else was through the van - solar power, compost toilet and a chilly solar shower.

However, with each day the project progressed on all fronts - landscaping, exterior, interior, shower house, outhouse, solar power, etc… Stay tuned for the final episode of this series and check out @AfueraVidaCasita to learn more of the project.

Ep. 32 | Buying an Abandoned Jack Rabbit Cabin in Joshua Tree, CA | Part 1 Aug 06, 2020

There are moments in life where massive decisions are made in an instant. This was one of them.

When we departed Maine our goal was to connect our cultures by driving to Argentina. What happened in between was left open to the push and pull of life leaving plenty of room for discovery and taking the trails that presented themselves.

In November of last year, weeks before we intended to cross the border to Mexico - Sofi came to me with a listing of an abandoned cabin in Joshua Tree, California. The price was right, but I had never in my mind ever considered living or buying property in the desert.

However, she is a woman with a strong intuition and that afternoon I found myself on the phone with the realtor scheduling a showing for the next afternoon. In this three part episode we talk about our process in finding the Joshua Tree House, why we made the decision to make an offer and our rough plan going into it.

This is part one of a three part series so do come back to learn how we approached the project.

Ep. 31 | How to Pull Through a Desert Storm with Kids in Moab, UT Jul 30, 2020

This storm was perhaps one of the most violent storms I’ve experienced in my 33 years on Earth - and to share the experience - exposed to the elements with my five and two year old sons - felt deserving of a podcast episode.

We recorded in Moab, Utah nestled between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. We share our plans to paddle the Green River, marching in the local Black Lives Matter protest, and of course the highlights of the last week.

One of those was the storm. It lasted under an hour. It was a blip in time. However it left an impact on all of us. It illustrated the strength of nature that surrounds us. It scared us. It showed that nothing should be taken for granted. And of course, it provided a good story to share on the Rewilding Parenthood Podcast.

Ep. 30 | Our First Multi-Day Paddling Expedition - Marble Canyon, Arizona Jul 22, 2020

This episode was recorded in the town of Blanding, Utah - a place we didn’t expect to stay longer than a playground pit stop. However it turned into a full blown week with the local pool opening and easy access to wifi, BLM camping and plenty of fun for all of us.

This episode is all about our maiden multi-day kayak expedition down Marble Canyon, the last section of the Colorado River before the infamous Grand Canyon leg of the journey. For us - it was the perfect trip to literally get our feet wet. It was short, super scenic and unique because the only way in is with a backhaul - meaning you get shuttled to the top of the river deep in the canyon and float back at your leisure. There is also a secret path in - so listen to the show if you’d like the details. We share our process of preparing for multi-day journeys, the experience and what it takes to pull it off.

Please visit our site below to see some photos of the trip or a blog on OverlandX4.com.

Ep. 29 | Surviving Your First Vanlife Breakdown Jul 09, 2020

We recorded this episode in the stunning location of Page, AZ - a place where the Lake Powell is held back by the Glen Canyon dam, birthing the start of the Grand Canyon paddling trip in the Colorado River below. This week we will cover our journey from waking up for sunrise at the Grand Canyon the week it re-opened after the Coronavirus lock down, our travels with our dear friends @SimplyUsAndABus and then drop into the theme of the week - surviving breakdowns while living on the road.

Breakdowns are inevitable. And having a proactive approach/ roll with it attitude will ensure positive outcomes. In this particular breakdown we were grounded for five days because of an issue with our starter. This was the second starter repair in about a month, which initially felt frustrating, however it was a blessing in disguise because it meant I was capable of handling the repair because I had already been mentored through the first one prior to leaving Maine. We ordered a new one, upgraded a number of other parts of the van needing our attention and then dropped in the new part the day it arrived. What could have been a negative experience felt like a vacation for us as we had been none stop for months on end.

Ep. 28 | How to Outfit Your Family for Paddling on Multi-Day River Expeditions Jun 30, 2020

This week we are checking in from the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona where we share stories of climbing, and river exploration in Flagstaff and Sedona, Arizona. Then we’ll pivot and cover our theme of the week - how we outfitted our family for river expeditions.

A major part of our journey has been to learn which sports we can do together as a family of four with a two and five year old. We biked last year including some bikepacking trips, but found our bikes were just getting abused by dirt and sun on the back of the van - basically a liability. We left our surfboards behind this summer knowing we would unlikely see the Pacific for months and opted to take a gamble and find some form of river craft on our journey - opening up our options to explore some of the West’s great waterways in the form of multi-day expeditions. While we have experience on the water and overnight expedition experience as a family of four, river expeditions have been an entirely new sport for us. In this episode we cover our process, journey and philosophy to get into it.

Ep. 27 | The Pros and Cons of Overlanding as a Family Jun 23, 2020

This week we are checking in from Sedona, Arizona where we’ve rafted up with our dear friends @SimplyUsAndaBus to shelter in place together. We’ll share some stories of our trip from the Mojave to the Sonoran Desert and then dive in for our theme of the week - week - our opinion of the pros and cons of living on the road.

We’ve boiled the themes down to four main categories - Freedom, Time, Security and Education. For each theme we will discuss the pros and cons of this lifestyle vs living a life with a typical home.

Ep. 26 | Finding Balance While Living Full Time on the Road Jun 16, 2020

We’ve spent the last week in what feels like Mars. There are hardly any cars on the road. Any signs of life are closed and we are far from water, fuel, grocery stores and cell signal. As much as the silence has been eery, its been welcome to get away from the noise and the daily coronavirus updates and settle into our new normal - back on the road.

This week we will be sharing our journey from the southern Sierras of CA to one of our favorite destinations, the Mojave Trails National Preserve. Next we’ll dive into the main segment of our show - finding balance between community and loneliness on the road.

For us, we enjoy the solitude and the extended time together as a family, but we talk about what hardships are faced alone and how community is formed in unforeseen places.

Each week we’ll update you all on where we are at and highlights from the past week along with a deep dive into subjects ranging from pros and cons of overlanding, travel advice, raising kids on the road, homeschool and any other topics that come up.

So instead of answering everyone one by one, we decided to make a podcast about Orange Crush - our iron stead faithfully whisking us from place to place.

Rediscovery On a European RV Sabbatical with @ADreamWorthChasing Apr 29, 2020

The pressure to live in a certain way can feel oppressive. Many can cope, but for people like Emma and Richard - at some point it has to give. The expectation to have a certain career, status and path through life all felt like too much, especially as they’re young children were looking to them for guidance in an ever more complicated world.

So Richard and Emma crafted a plan to step away for as long as they could. A year sabbatical in an RV granted them the freedom they desired without having to commit to an entire new approach to life. Whlle the decision may have been swift, the planning was meticulous, including their capacity to work throughout the year ahead of them, ensuring their ability to earn a living while living the lifestyle they wanted.

They drove north through Sweden in the winter, skiing and pushing their little RV through conditions few vehicles or families would want to endure. They share stories of the heater freezing and staying wrapped in sleeping bags to stay warm. Right out of the gates they got a taste of what life on the road could deliver, but didn’t let the unavoidable problems step in the way of the experience they were living together.

Emma and Richard have since sold their RV and returned to Sweden after fully embodying a lifestyle that they always dreamed about. They return changed, not knowing what will await them, but with a capacity to choose the direction they seek to head.

Check out some of the photos from their trip @ADreamWorthChasing.

Family Life Aboard a 28 Foot Skoolie with @NumberJuanBus Apr 23, 2020

Three years ago Will and Kaitlin were looking at rising home costs and a growing family. When Kaitlin through out the idea of a skoolie, Will was unsure but Kaitlin didn’t back down from the concept. They researched, youtube’d and began a country wide search for their bus of choice - a flat nose bluebird. They found it in UT and Will and his old man flew out to buy it.

Their wild journey started from the moment they picked it up rush shipping FL plates out, doing an on the fly electrical repair and flying high above Park City, UT with old family friends - all a taste of what was to come. Over the next year, they patiently built out each step of their bus, planning everything they would need for their soon to be family of three. They meticulously filmed each step building a loyal Youtube audience through their educational videos.

Will and Kaitlin spent their first six months on the road touring the East Coast all the way up to Nova Scotia and are now in the desert Southwest. They run their own marketing company, produce incredible Youtube content and Will is often on a plane shooting a gig for one of their many clients while Kaitlin man’s home base and looks after their daughter Roam.

A Family Approach to Overlanding the Earth with @AkelaWorld Apr 14, 2020

A photograph of an eight year old boy snorkeling above radiant coral in a tropical seas was my first glimpse into Akela World’s life. With a few scrolls of my finger on their instagram feed, an incredible visual lifestyle emerged along with a kindred connection through the live hate relationship that comes with a 1970’s Mercedes vehicle capable of multi-year overloading journeys.

It just so happened that Leander, Maria and Lennox were heading to the Southwest corner of the states to commence the Americas leg of their journey and I invited them to join us in Joshua Tree, CA where we swapped tales from the road while they awaited their truck and outfitted for the road ahead.

Collectively they wore a similar spirit - grateful for the hospitality, weary from years of travel and change, peaceful with whatever came with the present, cautious because of their vast experience yet full of vigor for any kind of excitement and action. It’s a balance that I feel can only be struck on such a journey after deeply experiencing constant change from epic highs to disbarring lows.

The family of three has been on the road for over three years now leaving Austria traveling through Eastern Europe parts of the Middle East, Central Asia, Indonesia, a full circumnavigation of Australia and now the Americas before shipping to South Africa and ruling back to Europe. It’s an audacious journey and they have the war stripes to swap tales with the best of them.

A Deliberate Lifestyle Featuring @DeliberateLifeBus Apr 07, 2020

The 40 foot purple Thomas skoolie with a roof raise and 1,000 + watts of solar stands steady on the ever-changing horizon. Inside lives Adam and Elizabeth along with their daughters Sadie and Wren - oh and their new corn snake Cali. They deliberately unplugged from normality about eighteen months ago opting for a lifestyle that put them in control of their destiny. Their choice was deliberate. It was intentional - rooted in a desire for abundance and freedom.

For two years they toiled over their build out - referencing YouTube on the regular while putting in countless hours into their new home on wheels. In short - their space is perfect. It’s thoughtful and has everything they need to operate sufficiently off grid. In the rearview they left a steady paycheck, a home attached to a foundation and a community that was doubtful about their decisions.

On the road they travel in two vehicles - the house-bus and the run around. They will park for a few weeks at a time while exploring the area then move on when the time comes. While it may sound like a vacation, it’s anything but. Adam and Elizabeth are on it around the clock working multiple gigs including running their own business on top of homeschooling their two girls. You’ll find them parked within striking distance of the best climbing in America or bustling along the most scenic trails happy to be deliberately free of the confines that the world defines as normal.

Season IV features five families who have selected a life on the road over the comforts of raising a family in a home. In the face of the Coronavirus, affecting us all, some may look at these families as suicidal while others would do anything to switch their NYC apartment for one of their mobile off grid vehicles. While all the episodes were recorded before the Coronavirus pandemic, we hope the episodes shed a light on alternative living styles and encourage you to take the next steps in your journey to become a more self reliant family - whatever that means to you.

Cinco Integrantes de una Familia Apuestan a un Velero como Forma de Vida Feb 05, 2020

Jorgelina y German, eligieron un estilo de vida, que no es fácil pero es liberador.

Su historia comienza en Villa La Angostura, Argentina, donde ellos tenían dos cabañas y ofrecían paseos de pesca en el lago Nahuel Huapi.

En solo 6 meses decidieron alquilar su casa y sus cabañas con el objetivo de partir en una caravana a recorrer latinoamérica . Hacer todo esto en 6 meses nos es fácil y requiere de muchísimo esfuerzo, especialmente cuando tienes hijos.

El 5 de Marzo de 2016 partieron para cruzar la frontera hacia Chile y seguir ruta hacia Colombia.

Su segundo sueño era recorrer el caribe. El plan era que una vez llegados a Cartagena, Colombia se iban a subir a un velero pero desafortunadamente tuvieron dificultades para concretar ese sueño y decidieron empezar a bajar nuevamente .

Hoy , con una tercera hija nacida en Brasil, Jorgelina y su familia están viviendo en un velero en Buzios donde Educan a sus hijos en el velero y además ofrecen experiencias en Airbnb de navegación y merienda.

Jorgelina, supermujer, hace todo desde el velero, cocina enseña y nos inspira a vivir de una manera más simple.

Pioneering a Rafting Company in Hokkaido, Japan with Toshi and Mari Jan 28, 2020

Toshi and Mari have lived, traveled and worked around the world, most recently in New Zealand where they started a family. As a river guide and snow guide, Toshi is in the business of guiding people through their most memorable moments together with their friends and family. Mari has also been in the guiding business often as the first touch point working with clients to get their bookings straight to ensure they can have the best days possible.

With the birth of their son Kouji, they had a desire to move back to Japan and Toshi’s deep affection for Central Hokkaido, specifically the Daisetsu Mountains and Rivers became the biggest draw. They had worked in tourism their entire lives, but never had started a business. Together they moved to Kamikawa Town in Central Hokkaido at the foot of Daisetsuzan National Park to begin this project together. At the time, their son had just turn three and they have now been operating Alpine River Guides for their first season.

I personally worked together with Toshi and Mari almost ten years ago as a snowboard guide in Japan and know deeply why they’ve settled here to build a business on the Ishikari River. The place is magic and when I dream of snowboarding, I dream of days back in Daisetsuzan. I also know that this visiting Toshi and Mari will create a memory you will never forget.

Sailing Across the Pacific with A Family Afloat Jan 21, 2020

Imagine living aboard a 40 foot sailboat discovering the Pacific for five years. That is exactly what Josie, Christian and their three children have done since 2015.

I spoke to Josie while they were docked in New Zealand having already crossed the Pacific together. The thought of it alone gave me cause for pause, yet her description of what it is like to see, or rather smell land, as she puts it, after three weeks at sea peaked my curiosity.

In this episode, Josie discusses her partner’s background growing up on boats and sailing the Pacific circle twice by his young teenage years. When Josie met Christian, she sensed his steadfast commitment to a life at sea and dove in. They melded their family, both having daughters of their own and decided to bring a third into the world - Taj who was living afloat at 29 hours old.

Josie also dives into the mechanics of how this trip was made possible and the sacrifices required. For example for the handful of months leading up to their departure, they left their slip in Sausalito, opting to save the money and moor out in the Bay. This seems like a frugal decision, however Josie would then have to commute 13 miles to and from work three days a week often in the dark which involved a kayak paddle and 13 cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge. Meanwhile - Christian would be homeschooling the three children along with preparing their vessel for an around the world adventure - talk about super hero parents!

Chasing Waterfalls with Famagogo Jan 14, 2020

On the way back from a photo shoot nearly ten years ago Peter and Kathy Holcombe realized that they were nearly coming home to mow the grass, pick up the mail, attend to a few other errands and then head out again to the next spot for their photo work. It dawned on them that if they downsized everything and moved into a life on the road, they would always have their home with them negating the need to return anywhere.

So they did it. They deliberated and planned for well over a year and when the decision was made, they mapped out their itinerary and work along the way. They sold off their brick and mortar photo studio and dove in head first for the best decision of their life. Their largest hesitation was how they would educate their daughter Abby and they initially had her in a digital classroom where she would check in each day for a set number of hours. Yet after the first year, this felt more like handcuffs and they were unable to take on the opportunities that would allow Abby to thrive. So they tested out a number of other alternative forms of homeschooling until they found the right fit.

Meanwhile, the Holcombes as a whole passionately pursue the adventures that make them feel most alive. They are all paddlers and Abby has literally grown up with a boat since she could fit the smallest commercially made kayak. On this trip and at the age of 12, she paddled the entire Grand Canyon in her own kayak, a feat perhaps nobody this young has ever done. While watching abby progress, Kathy also pursued her own outdoor challenges vowing to do 1,000 miles of self propelled adventure in 2019, learning so much about herself taking on these challenges mostly alone.

The Holcombes are a true inspiration and are pioneers in their field. They are amazing photographers with a vivid portfolio, are accomplished world travelers and Abby is part of the Junior Olympic White Water paddling team. They are currently back in the US after spending the last six months touring Europe and they will soon be shipping their rig to South America to take on the next leg of their around the world tour.

Life on a Catamaran with Nina & Flo Orley Jan 09, 2020

Flo and Nina Orley shared a dream that they put on pause with the birth of their first child - to sail around the world. At the time, the Austrian couple had already sailed halfway learning the ropes as they went intoxicated by the riches the sea offered. But with their family growing, they headed back to Innsbruck, Austria - Flo to continue competing on the Freeride World Tour and developing his career as a professional extreme snowboarder while Nina worked and took care of the children.

With their kids (Momo and Keano) approaching an age that they would be comfortable at sea again, the Orley’s began planning their second attempt. From the Alps they began searching for a boat to house their family for potentially years at sea traveling the world. They would make many sacrifices to afford what was coming next and to also leave the comforts and security of their home.

However when we recorded this podcast, Flo and Nina were hitting their stride having just done a multiway passage to Venezuela aboard a 40 foot catamaran. In this episode they discuss why they left, how their kids grew on the adventure and why making sacrifices are worth it to fulfill a lifelong dream. From their photos alone, you can see that their time at sea was truly intoxicating.

After two years at sea sailing primarily through the Caribbean the Orley’s reluctantly returned to Austria after an unexpected illness in their family. They sold their catamaran, Snowflake and are now home, living the life they once did, a little bit older, wiser, blonder and more inspired in the world in which we live!

In this season, Rewinding Parenthood shares stories of five families deeply connected to the water.

For most of us, it is something we drink, swim in during the summer months and typically take fro granted. Yet for these families, without the water, their existence would be utterly altered.

Three of our guests, SailAwayFamily, AFamilyAfloat and Boatsweethomee are or have lived on sailboats in different continents, Famagogo has been chasing whitewater adventures around the world and finally, Mari and Toshi have just opened up the first commercial rafting operation in central Hokkaido, Japan. Collectively, these families offer a unique perspective on how water is the defining force in their lives. We’re stoked to bring you another very international line up with our guests dialing in from Austria, Brazil, the States, New Zealand and Japan.

Season three will roll out weekly in January/February of 2020 wherever you podcast. Stay tuned and please leave us a review!

Balancing Mortgages, Careers, Family and Renovations in Sydney, Australia Oct 10, 2019

The Fazio’s lived in New Jersey overlooking the Hudson River and the skyline of New York City where Ryan worked 60-80 hours a week to pay for their seemingly never-ending expenses. With one child already and another on the way, a change was necessary and his partner through out the idea of living in a school bus while living inside the burrows of New York City. Ryan needed some convincing, but she didn’t quit, doing all the research, budgeting and showing what would be possible with this new life. So like all good men, Ryan committed to the dream and soon they were the proud owners of a school bus and after a quick and dirty outfitting of the rig, they were soon living on the bus on the street.

In this episode, Ryan shares stories from his adventures learning the ways of bus life inside of one of the world’s busiest cities. For example how they never received a single parking ticket, how he eventually learned to take water from the hydrants and power straight off the poles and most importantly how the community embraced their family in all parts of the city.

The Fazio’s now live in Boulder, CO but if you’re interested in what their journey was like, check out Gypscity on Instagram.

From Hamburg to the Sahara with Jan & Renata Pasel Sep 16, 2019

When we started recording the Alternative Urban season we thought we’d need to find guests through stalking interesting Instagram profiles. Not the case with Jan & Renata as we bumped into them deep in the South Western desert of the United States and from the moment Jan introduced himself, I knew he was a friend for life.

As we spent more time together, their story unfolded in chapters from an adventurous love story. Jan, originally German fell in love with Renata, originally Croatian in Southern Spain. Within months they were married touring Europe in their retro Mercedes van. Discovering they were pregnant, they returned to Hamburg to build their city lives - Jan finishing medical school and Renata just commencing art school - a five year full time commitment. Over the next five years they had twin boys and a daughter and the pace of their life increased to a frenetic pace. However travel remained a staple in their lives.

Eventually they decided to take a year off and travel all of Africa as a family but getting there nearly broke them. Fortunately it didn’t and the trip to Africa set the tone of their family lifestyle forthwith. Both Jan and Renata are driven, talented and are willing to take on projects that would scare most away making them an absolute inspiration.

Learn more about Renata’s Art on her website or instagram.

SEASON II | Alternative Urban Families | Teaser Sep 03, 2019

When we set out to produce this podcast, we wanted to be very careful so as to not solely highlight those who have just wildly alternative lifestyles. We wanted a season early on that was close to what many of us live; a 9-5 (ish) lifestyle, a long term career, school and community - while creating the rules of life we desire to live by. In this season we have five families who have done and are doing this in their lifestyle. From living in a school bus in New York City as a family of four, to balancing full time career and education while raising three kids and how and WHY to take a break from it all to rediscover what’s important. Our guests are all similar in that they or have lived in some of the largest cities in the world, but with stories from Germany, Australia, Argentina and the states, we have a lot of diversity. Tune in next week for episode one of Alternative Urban Families.

De Alpedrete, España a Boulder, Colorado | Una historia sobre dejar todo y comenzar de nuevo. Jul 26, 2019

María Cebran y Diego Dominguez son de España y hace un año se mudaron a Boulder, Colorado. Conocimos a María y a Diego en Santa Fe, New Mexico, en un parque, cuando estaban de vacaciones con sus dos hijos Bruno y Leo. Inmediatamente conectamos compartiendo historias de viaje, sobre la crianza de los hijos, lo difícil que es dejar todo y comenzar de nuevo en un nuevo lugar.

Pasando por Boulder, tuvimos la suerte de volver a encontrarnos con ellos y hoy nos cuentan cómo fue el proceso de dejar una comunidad tan linda que habían formado en Alpedrete, un pueblo de España a las afuera de Madrid, para venirse a vivir a los Estados Unidos, un país con otro idioma donde no conocían prácticamente a nadie. La oportunidad para María de crecer profesionalmente era importante pero también le pesaba dejar la familia que habían formado en España.

Airstream Lifestyle with Nicholas & Laura Pritchett Jul 19, 2019

Nicholas and Laura Pritchett came up with the decision to purchase and renovate an Airstream with a dream of traveling the country in search of a new home. Upon acquiring their Airstream, they spent every night and weekend renovating and rebuilding it after also constructing a home together from the ground up while managing full time careers and raising their daughter - super humans. Eventually it came time to depart and they learned the ways of the road through experience, discovering their travel rhythm, workflow and unearthing new potential places to live. Laura and Nicholas are humble beyond their words, yet their photography, meticulous airstream and rich lifestyle show the depth of their vision and values. Laura is an incredible painter and both are amazing photographers and can be followed on Instagram @bythebrush and @nicholasjared or on their websites Laura Pritchett and Nicholas Pritchett.

Bikepacking from Houston to Miami | A French Family Voyage Jul 11, 2019

While lounging at the beach in Stuart, Florida, a couple arrived on bikes, towing a carrier of two children. They were clearly tired - having biked some miles through the sun, but remained in good spirits while laughing over baguette sandwiches. Upon hearing more about their 1,200+ mile journey bike-packing across the Southern US, I invited Adrien into the Affuera Vida production studio to record a podcast. He shares the story of how his family of four (Marlene, Robin (5) and Paola (3)) jumped at the opportunity to move from France to Mexico as part of his mechanical engineering career, how bike packing has always been a part of his life and how he made this a family passion.

Simply Us and a Bus Jul 02, 2019

Driving north from Key West, I spotted a vivid blue school bus and as I neared, humans of all sizes were on the roof top deck, lashing down boats of all colors. Foolishly, I pressed on, tooting my horn, leaving Key West behind in search of a beach in solace. Almost two months later, the opposite version of this story was told to me by Aaron Tokarz as we swapped bus war stories the first night of the United Tiny Living Festival in Macon, Georgia. Over the next three days, are families united together seamlessly and on our final day together we recorded this podcast.

Aaron and Philan were motivated and sought a substantial change in their lives and when she brought up the idea of a school bus, they had one parked in their backyard within a couple weeks. This is kind of how they roll, and now they roll full time as a family of five on board a beautiful International flat-nose 30’ School Bus. They have been following the unschooling philosophy for the first year on the road, letting each of their kids practice self-directed learning. In three short days, we saw each of their personalities come alive through a multitude of situations at the tiny house festival.

In this episode we cover the reasons why they left their home of Rockford, Illinois, the immediate challenges of life on the road, unschooling, relationship challenges and why their life on the road is exactly what their family needed at that moment.

Homeschooling in French with Stay-At-Home Dad, Gavin Noble Jun 22, 2019

Gavin Noble is the kind of guy that will send you a message on instagram after seeing your van driving through Alachua County, Florida, the place he and his family call home. This is how we connected with Gavin and both his sincerity and openness from the outset drew us into the retreat he is shaping for his family.

As a stay-at-home dad, Gavin already doesn't fit in with the way our society expects him to. Yet seeing him in his element carving flutes out of bamboo, towing a wagon of kids picking citrus from the neighbors or just conversing with his children in French, he seems to be doing exactly what he is meant to do - be a kick ass dad. With chickens running around the food forest he's creating from the earth up, Gavin is a true renaissance man that is the redefinition of masculinity in this day and age.

In this episode we'll cover how Gavin and his wife Beth arrived in Alachua County and how they've set up a lifestyle that values time together over financial gain and how they are building the life they want to live.

Hit the Road with Hosts Colin Boyd & Sofi Aldinio Jun 12, 2019

Hosts, Colin Boyd & Sofi Aldinio launch their first podcast episode describing what rewilding parenthood means and why documenting inspiring stories of other families emboldens them on their current overlanding journey from Maine to Argentina as a family of four.

Sofi and Colin had an adventurous lifestyle before settling in Portland, Maine. The pair lived in NewZealand for five years while also traveling and working independently overseas. As Colin was wrapping up his years competing on the Freeride World Tour, they moved to the US and their first child was on its way unexpectedly. As they quickly prepared for their new child, they felt their lives changing and over the course of four years, two houses, full time jobs, mortgages, airbnb's daycares, life insurance, etc... they lost themselves and each other as many other young parents do.

Their current #overlanding journey from Maine to Argentina, Sofi's home, is a reclamation of the adventurous lives they seek to live and the experiences they want for their family. While they admit, vanlife has been more challenging than expected, they feel more connected now than in their traditional lives living the american dream and they hope to inspire others to pursue their passions.
