Where We Wander
Krys Wanders
Formerly the "Life + Van" Podcast, Taylor and Krys are part-time vanlifers holding up a permanent residence on the West Coast of British Columbia. After moving into their van in 2019 and the world shutting down quickly after, the couple spent the next year travelling locally in Canada, meeting incredible people within the nomad community. Seeing an opportunity to highlight these traveller's stories and to share insight into their own journey, Krys and Taylor started the podcast. Now, after almost 2 years, the duo is continuing to host guests, share adventures and answer your Q's on their show
#25: Why We Left Vanlife Behind, 3 Month Vancouver Island Recap + Why You Shouldn't Monetize Your Hobbies
New year, new Where We Wander episode (new podcast name, woohoo!) Lot's of fresh starts going into 2023 and we're so excited to take you on the journey with us! In this episode, we revisit our 50hr+ drive from Ontario to British Columbia with our van, our 3 cats and everything we own crammed into it. I share my successes and failures as a content creator and I think made podcast history on our show by crying for the first time?! Things really got THAT emotional. We discuss the realities of turning your hobbies into full-time gigs and why that may not actually be a good thing... We cover it all this week.

#19: Content Creator Coach Shares How She Got Paid To Travel With 3k Followers | Interview w/ @through.the.llyns
Meet Chas, a traveling content creator turned content creator coach, who Krys had the pleasure of sitting down with to ask her where it all began. Chas dives into her love for travel and how she managed to turn it into a full-time gig, allowing not only her but also her husband to quit his job to work alongside her. Her community consists of over 61k followers that are constantly learning from her stories, reels and posts. She explains how life-changing it was to go from a job she could no longer stand to helping creators with as little as 300 followers land major brand deals. This chat left us feeling so beyond inspired and we think you'll feel similarly after tuning in.

#17: Try Out Vanlife By Renting First | Interview w/ Outdoorsy
This week, Krys had the unique pleasure of chatting with April, who works with the incredible team at Outdoorsy, a tiny home on wheels rental company. Like airbnb for those that crave the open road, Outdoorsy aims to reconnect people to their love for adventure by giving people easy and economical access to experience the great outdoors by taking their lodging with them. I’ve received countless messages from followers asking where they can start when looking to take the next steps into vanlife and honestly, I’d seriously recommend renting a rig from Outdoorsy first before going ahead and putting all your life savings into an expensive vehicle.  Host: @kryswanders @lifeandvanpodcast Guest: April from @Outdoorsy Cover Art: @sunchasermedia.co Theme Song: The Kickback - Caines
