    Great Advice and Good Guests
    Tons of great ideas, advice, and more on this podcast!

    @oneofthegrovegirls
    Love your podcast. I found it while building out my own van. I needed inspiration and y’all came through. I cracked up when Frankie was talking about the smoky mountains. I spend most weekends in the smokies and laughed out loud thinking I may be one of the “odd people” 😅

    Informative- Van life not for everyone
    They do good interviews. Notably was the 1 with Doom Adventures, Kelsey and Danny. Their story is hilarious. They both had jobs, but Kelsey wanted to sell it all & do van life. Danny declined but Kelsey cried so he gave in. Turns out. Kelsey cries a lot & she looks unstable. The fact that her crying is what made Danny give in is comedy gold. Then their name 'doom', not sounding too positive. So they separate. She is doing the attention hore tour on IG, living her best life, using pronouns in her bio and nose rings and more tattoos. Lots to learn from this couple. Guys, pay attention!
  • ELMPBO
    Freakin AWESOME!
    Frankie and Alex are legit sincere about everything they do and these podcasts are no exception! Dive in! Listen n learn about living the van life and the community of nomads and adventurers. These two, with their adorable dog, Paco are the most positive minded and caring individuals who put action and commitment in all that they do.
  • shleebeed
    I appreciate the insights!
    Thanks for all the info! I also love the banter

    First podcast review ever
    Thanks for having a great show—it’s truly the only one I look for each week, and listen to immediately. It’s the realness, for me.
  • WWSart
    Total FnA fan
    This is a brilliant podcast; honest, fun, entertaining, and insightful all at the same time. Have watched their YouTube channel for quite a while and have enjoyed that content as well. Both of these helped with a little truck camper build and adventure that I have just returned from. Thanks guys for all the great information.

  • Kabobit
    Fantastic Podcast
    Wow, this is one of the best podcast I’ve stumbled upon. I started to gain an interest in RVs, and then Vans that have been converted, so I found this gem of a show in my many searches for information. These 2 young kids are extremely entertaining. They have great guests be provide entertaining day to day commentary on just about anything related to their travels and adventures. It wouldn’t surprise me the History Channel or some similar channel picks them up as a show. There’s tremendous talent in these kids. Keep up the good work!
  • JK Builds
    Love your stories!
    Hey guys! Thanks for doing this podcast and shining both positive and realistic light on real van life. I got into the spirit of van life 2 years ago and converted my ford transit into a livable van. I took a week long trip from Maryland to Tennessee/Georgia and realized the mistakes and improvements I need to make. I’m working on a rebuild right now and eventually will be selling my house to experience van life full time. I own a small remodeling company and listening to you two definitely makes my days more fun :) Thanks and keep up the good work
  • okinawascubadiver
    A great and down to earth podcast!
    Hands down my favorite podcast! My wife and I are always eager to listen to the new episodes when they are released. The duration is usually perfect for driving. We have become a Patreon member and are happy to support any way we can. It’s just a little token of our appreciation and we are happy to help support and grow a well-deserving channel.
  • Ericamb22
    One of my favorite podcasts!
    I’ve been meaning to leave a review for months but I listen while getting ready for work and always forget, amidst my chronic tardiness. This podcast is not only helpful, but also entertaining. Frankie and Alex just feel like someone you would want to hang out with. I’ve enjoyed following their van builds and adventures. They offer great tips, funny stories, and encouragement. Oh, and if you’re just starting out, don’t worry, they dropped the background lullaby music after a few episodes. :) I look forward to new content every week!
  • Notxes84
    Great content and perspective
    I have really enjoyed Alex and Frankie content from their van life journey starting with their first van Lolo all the way to their new build from Florida to Alaska!! It’s definitely inspired me to start preparing for my future van life journey and trying to sell the wife on it as well!
  • Jeffsgs

    One word, AMAZING!!! Absolutely love your podcast!! I binge listened to your whole podcast (well up to the current episode) over the last 3 days and I now need more lol I patiently keep checking back for new episodes. My boyfriend and I just bought a van last month to build out and we are so excited!! Love listening to your experiences and all the stories your guests on the podcast have to tell.
  • mellarkable
    Awesome podcast!!
    I have been binging the podcast from the beginning and can’t wait for each episode! Frankie and Alex are so relatable and I love hearing all of their guests’ stories and tips for van life. Every episode inspires me to continue working towards my dream of van life! Keep the episodes coming!
