About Bikini, Bodybuilding & Dietetics

Tyarra Nelson is a 29-year-old girl from Australia who quit her job, sold her house, and moved across the world to buy a van and start over. After more than a decade of chasing excellence, earning two degrees, building a business, competing in bodybuilding, and never taking a break, she reached a point where everything looked right on paper… but it all felt completely wrong. Burnt out, disconnected, and craving something real, Tyarra walked away from the “dream” life she had meticulously architected to create one that actually feels meaningful. This podcast is a raw, honest, and unfiltered documentation of that transition - from structure to spontaneity, from routine to adventure, and from climbing ladders of success to finding genuine fulfilment. It’s a space for fun, real-life storytelling from the road, sharing the highs, the lows, and the true realities of van life that aren’t always shown online. Along the way, Tyarra will sit down with other van lifers to explore their stories, lessons, and insights into this unconventional lifestyle - making the podcast both an entertaining listen and a valuable resource for anyone curious about or considering van life. Now based in Canada and travelling across North America, she is choosing memories over materials - seeking real human connection, new environments, life skills, uncomfortable challenges, and epic stories worth telling. For anyone who has ever felt stuck in a life that no longer fits, this is your reminder: it’s okay to start again. Strap in and buckle up - because we’re going on an adventure!

   #3 Border Security, Getting Hit By A Car, Self-Defence & Broken Doors

   In this episode of Gone On An Adventure, Tyarra shares a bunch of funny stories from what is was like to venture across the Canadian–U.S. border from Vancouver to San Juan Island, where she spent several weeks decking-out her van, exploring, visiting family, and unexpectedly making plenty of new friends! She talks about unique work opportunities, cruising on boats, kayaking through islands, navigating border security, and how she dealt with various curveballs including a broken van door and getting hit by a car… all before she stumbled across an opportunity to attend a carpentry school back in Canada, which spontaneously lead her to taking a long mountain drive through to Vernon, BC, where she plans to begin a new chapter and learn how to be a builder while living on a goat farm!

   #2 Van Tour, Dating On The Road, Mice In The Bed, Toilet Mishaps & What You NEED To Know Before Starting Van Life

   Welcome back for episode two of Gone On An Adventure! In this episode Tyarra shares how her van life journey really began - going from zero experience to fully committing to travelling North America and living in a vehicle. She breaks down how she taught herself everything from scratch, the key decisions that shaped her van choice, and the story behind how she found the van that would become her new home! She shares a full tour of her van, including all the specs, setup, and the little details that make it her special house on wheels. She also talks about her first introduction to van life - living in a friend’s ambulance in Canada, figuring things out as she went, and what it was like stepping into this lifestyle for the very first time. Tyarra also opens up about the unfiltered side of van life… from dating on the road, to sleeping with mice in her bed, dealing with malfunctioning toilets, and going days without a shower. There are plenty of funny, chaotic moments that no one really talks about when living in a van… but she’s here to laugh at herself and tell those stories! This episode is a little bit unhinged… enjoy!! Instagram: @tyarranelson @vanlife.adventurepodcast
