The Boondachshunds

Welcome to the Boondachshunds Podcast. Since 2019, we (Ava and Dylan, plus our 2 “boondachshunds”) have been traveling all around the United States by RV, working from remote locations, powering our professional lives off solar, boondocking in the most beautiful spots in nature, and living lightly.

We have a baby on board! 
He's due in summer of 2022. 

It might seem overwhelming to be pregnant on the road, but this is how we're planning to transition into parenthood while still traveling.

Since 2019, we've been traveling and working all over the United States in set-ups as small as a rooftop tent on the back of our pick-up truck, all the way to our current semi-truck sized diesel RV.
