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.
