Thanks to Chris Kalaboukis for inviting us to be on his podcast. We had a great time chatting with him about our RV nomad lifestyle. We talked about how we got started, what we’ve learned along the way, and tips for others considering jumping into the lifestyle.
Chris also asked a loaded question about one piece of advice we would give to people looking into this lifestyle. Our answers were very different, but both were valid and important to consider!

From the Nomads 50+ show notes:
“In this episode of Nomads 50+, host Chris Kalaboukis sits down with Ari and Jessi, a couple who gradually transitioned into full-time nomad life after a career shift created an unexpected opening.
Their story isn’t about impulsive escape. It’s about intentional adaptation. Ari and Jessi walk through what it actually takes to make nomad life sustainable as a couple:
- Evolving from weekend travel to full-time mobility
- Solving internet challenges with hotspots and eventually Starlink
- Budgeting for fuel, campsites, and maintenance while eliminating traditional housing costs
- Navigating healthcare and dental logistics on the road
- Building a relationship strong enough to handle constant proximity and shifting plans
This episode is a practical, unfiltered look at what RV-based digital nomad life really requires—and why it’s more doable than most people think.”
