Listen "Slow & Wild: Van Life, RV Living, and Choosing More Intentional Travel"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Busy Gallivanting, I’m joined by Fiorella Yriberry — the creator behind @growingslowandwild — to talk about what a slow and wild nomadic lifestyle really looks like. After five years of full-time RV living, she’s learned how van life can offer freedom, comfort, and a deep connection to nature, all while navigating remote work, community, and the emotional ups and downs of life on the road.We dive into how she and her husband went from college graduates to RV builders, what they learned from designing their own rolling tiny home, and why national parks, quiet campsites, and long drives have become the backdrop to some of their most meaningful travel experiences. If you’ve ever been curious about van life, building an RV, or embracing a more flexible way of traveling, this episode is full of practical insight and personal reflection.Fiorella also shares the real side of nomadic living — the loneliness, the freedom, the people you meet along the way — and offers tips for anyone considering renting an RV, trying a road trip, or setting up remote work from the wild.🎙️ Plus: how community shapes life on the road, finding joy in simple moments, and why slowing down might be the most transformative travel tip of all.✨ Featured in this episode:• What it’s really like to live as a full-time nomad• The journey from traditional life to RV living• How building an RV from scratch taught her the value of intentional design• Flexibility and planning for remote work while traveling• The emotional reality of van life — freedom, loneliness, and everything in between• National parks and nature-forward travel experiences• Why renting an RV is the best way to try van life before committing• How slowing down can transform even the simplest travel days🕯️ Check out my candles and merch at busygallivantingpodcast.com/shop — designed to bring the cozy, intentional vibe of Busy Gallivanting into your everyday space.✨ Use code BUSYGALLIVANTINGPODCAST for 10% off your first order at Local Eclectic — for unique, high-quality jewelry that fits wherever life takes you.🎧 Related Episodes:• Maine Character Energy: Portland and Acadia National Park• Pretty Girls Walk Like This: Costa Rica📍 WHERE TO FIND FIORELLA:📸 Instagram: @growingslowandwild🎵 TikTok: @growingslowandwild📺 YouTube: Growing Slow and Wild🌍 Website: Rent an RV at RVshare.com📍 WHERE TO FIND LESLIE:📸 Instagram: @busygallivantingpodcast | @lesliemaclang🎵 TikTok: @lesliemaclang📺 YouTube: Busy Gallivanting Podcast📩 Email: [email protected]🌍 Website: busygallivantingpodcast.com
