Everywhere with Claire – Solo Female Vanlife Adventures
My guest this week on the podcast is Claire Fleming. Claire travels solo in her van with her cute dog Oscar. We talked all about her solo female vanlife adventures–about her van build, the one thing you need to know when crossing the border into Canada with a dog, (and it’s probably not what you think), and how she has fun and keeps Oscar safe when she’s away from the van. Claire and I had a great conversation and I feel like I just added a new person to my community of solo women travelers. Listen in!
Solo Female Vanlife Key Take-Aways
1. Building out a van always takes longer than you think.
2. Harvest Hosts is a great free option for solo travelers
3. When crossing the US border, be aware of what produce you have with you.
4. Once you start making friends and community, it becomes easier to meet more people. They introduce you to their friends and so on.
5. Having a pet on the road can be great to break loneliness, but you do have to consider their needs as well.
6. Claire uses the Simplisafe system to monitor for safety and to ensure her dog is ok
