Travel is often looked at as a way to find healing. But that’s a version of recovery that’s tied up neatly with a bow. The reality is that, in the face of grief, trauma (or in Lindsey Hall’s case, an eating disorder) there is usually a lot of healing that needs to happen first before getting on the road is even an option.
There’s no doubt that Sydney Ferbrache is busy. As a solo van traveler, successful online business owner, and dog mom to a small puppy, there’s always something to be focused on.

What happens when the road trip ends? Just like there are so many things that get us to say “yes” to a road trip, there’s also a wide range of reasons we say “yes” to staying put for a bit, which is why we enlisted the help of all you listeners out there to share your thoughts and stories of what life is like in transition to something more stationary.
