107. Sustainable RV Living: Renovations, Gear, and Community with Kristen Sara and Siya Zarrabi

In episode 107, we discuss a part of the outdoor industry that we don’t usually discuss: RV living and travel. There have been a few episodes about vanlife and overlanding, and since so many people choose RVs, trailers, and vans as their mode of transit or even as a full-time home, it only makes sense to explore how to do it sustainably.

I have never lived in a camper trailer or an RV, so when I discovered Kristen Sara and Siya Zarrabi’s Hopscotch the Globe brand, I knew I wanted to hear their insights into low waste and minimalist living while traveling and living out of their airstream.

Kristen and Siya are an adventure-seeking, world-traveling, tiny home-living couple behind the Hopscotch the Globe brand. They have one of the top travel channels on YouTube dedicated to travel and adventure. They showcase everything from travel tips and advice, destination guides, tiny house living, beauty and fashion, food adventures, bizarre travel, reviews, and more!

In today’s episode, they’ll share what they’ve learned in over a decade of travel and how we all can integrate a minimalist mindset, whether on holiday or choosing to live on the road full-time.
