S2 : Ep 1 : Chris and Noel | Lessons From The Road

LGBT+ Outdoors Podcast

Chris and Noel, a retired couple, share their journey of selling all their possessions and traveling full-time in an RV. They discuss their teaching careers, coming out experiences, and the challenges they faced in a different time. They also talk about the impact of COVID-19 on their travels and the unexpected surprises they encountered along the way. Noel and Chris share their experiences of embracing the unexpected, learning to be flexible, and finding joy in the beauty and messiness of travel. They discuss the value of summiting difficult hikes and the diversity of geography and national parks. As a same-sex couple, they reflect on their positive experiences on the road and the inclusivity of the RVing community. They also discuss their role as Winnebago ambassadors and the importance of community in the RVing lifestyle. Their advice to potential RVers is to take the leap and start exploring, no matter how small the first step may be.
