We’re two retired first responders who sold everything, grabbed our dog Django, and set out to live our dream. Nomads and Nimble Shadow is our journey — the highs, lows, and life lessons of living full-time in a 27-foot Airstream and finding a slower, more intentional way to live.

<p>In this episode, we take on the wild beauty of British Columbia, where the scenery is stunning, the AirBnBs are questionable, and Mother Nature clearly has a sense of humor. From close encounters with a protective bear and her cubs to an elk cow guarding her calf, a flat tire, a barebones shelter, and dinner at a gas station, this leg of the journey delivered equal parts adventure, chaos, and comedy. PS, Bear Spray is an acquired taste....</p>

<p>We catch up with an old colleague who shows us how retirement, road trips, Teslas, and AI can all collide in the best way. From a 10,000-mile cross-country journey using full self-driving to discovering quirky roadside stops with ChatGPT and Grok, his story is about embracing technology, staying curious, and finding freedom in the unexpected. Self-driven is about moving ever forward and finding your way. </p><p><br></p>

<p>In this episode, Kendra and Shawn recap their chaotic, funny, and sometimes sketchy journey through the Midwest, Canada, and back toward the Rockies. From visiting their daughter at a communal workaway farm to losing their truck Val near Mount Rushmore, meeting “Rusty,” surviving Midwest roadkill and construction, and enduring a bizarre late-night confrontation at a Budget Inn, the trip delivers plenty of road-warrior drama. The episode ends on a high note at Glacier National Park, where stunning scenery, a grizzly sighting, and dark humor about wilderness survival remind them why they keep choosing life on the road.</p><p><br></p><p>Apologies from the staff: the microphone receiver disconnected midway through the recording, and we lost the best sound quality. Please be patient, and thanks so much for listening!</p><p><br></p>
