Zoom and Zoomies
Two lesbians, three cats, and one very needy dog decided to trade square footage for freedom. Zoom and Zoomies is our behind-the-scenes look at camper life, remote work, and the chaos of full-time travel with pets.
Each week, we share stories, tips, and “what were we thinking?” moments as we figure out life on the road—Starlink hiccups, packing fails, and all.
Whether you’re dreaming of RV life, already a digital nomad, or just here for the pet drama, join us for honest conversations, helpful hacks, and plenty of laughter.

S2:EP2 How We Prep for a Big Trip (Plus Recapping Our Grand Adventure!)
This week on Zoom and Zoomies, Britt and Vy hit the road (again!) and dive into how they actually decide where to travel next in their full-time camper life. 🚐💨 From planning around marathons, birthdays, and Bigfoot festivals 👣 to navigating border crossings, cell service struggles, and Starlink confidence levels — the crew breaks down their process for choosing destinations while balancing remote work, weather, and their sanity. Plus: camper maintenance chaos, pet drama updates, and why Vy might be turning into a pyromaniac 🔥.
