Hey guys, welcome to my solo road, I'm going to my solo road. I'm Sydney and this is my podcast. Or welcome back, I guess, if you listen to last week's

week's, I'm coming to you from South Lake Tahoe.

I just drove from Indiana all the way to Lake Tahoe

and yeah, so in a completely different climate it's a lot better here

the weather is perfect there's tons of hiking Ella absolutely loves it we've been

spending a lot of time with Lee from the Asher House and he has nine dogs of his own, so now, and a foster, so now together we have 11 dogs, which Ella absolutely loves. So yeah, anyways, I'm sitting in his closet actually right now trying to find

the most silent place possible in a house with 11 dogs. This week I figured I would share all of my favorite stories with you from the road, so not so much like logistics or anything just yet, but I briefly mentioned last week that I hit a hotel and I got a lot of people asking about that

story so I figured this would be a good week for me to go ahead and share that

amongst a few others one of which just happened yesterday so I'm really excited to talk about that and actually tell someone that story as well, because I haven't yet.

Before I jump into all of that, though, I want to touch on a few things.

First of all, oh my my god I had no idea that people were

going to like listen to this I really didn't know what the response would be to my first

episode of the podcast I definitely planned on it starting really small and like maybe a few people would you know come on over and like want to hear the things that I had to say but I had no idea and the response that I got was just

absolutely insane totally unexpected and I just want to say thank you so much to

everybody for listening you really blew my mind.

And yeah, it's just like a huge confidence builder

to know that anybody cares about the things

that you have learned and that you've experienced in.

Yeah, just, it's really really cool so

thank you thank you I really do appreciate it second of all I've been asked since I

moved into the van if I would ever have my van dimensions for sale so I

finally took all the measurements in the van. So just in case you are building a van or you're planning to build a van and you want to kind of model any piece of your build from mine or if you want to do something similar
