In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Scott & Parm from Coasting Outback, who have been travelling full-time around Australia in their incredible Toyota Coaster bus conversion alongside their cat, Bia.We dive into what life on the road really looks like — from building and living in a bus, to the realities of full-time travel, relationship dynamics in tight spaces, and the unexpected challenges that come with chasing a life on the road.Scott and Parm also open up about the shift from travelling full-time using savings, to slowing down and picking up work in along the way to continue funding their journey. It’s a raw and honest conversation about the highs, the lows, and what happens when the dream lifestyle starts to evolve into something different.If you’re interested in:Van life / bus life in AustraliaToyota Coaster conversionsFull-time travel around AustraliaCouple travel dynamicsBudgeting life on the roadReal stories behind travel content…you’ll love this one.We also get into the deeper side of travel life — how constant movement affects relationships, the lack of space and privacy, and what it’s really like living and working out of a bus long-term.Scott & Parm:Instagram: @coastingoutback https://www.instagram.com/coastingoutback/🎧 Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episodeWatch us on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@UCTzB9kcDQfFBSi0EBdDGLpw Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesoloexperiencepodcastJoin us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesoloexperiencepodcastHosted by Sarah Rose Foster#buslife #vanlifeaustralia #toyotacoaster #australiatravel #vanlife

In this episode, I sit down with Lucas from Fulcrum Suspension to chat about how he got into 4WDing, and how that passion eventually turned into a career in the industry.

We talk through his journey from early trips and learning the ropes, to now working in the 4WD space, what that actually looks like day-to-day, and the reality of turning something you love into your job.

Lucas also shares what it was like crossing the Simpson Desert in a Jeep Cherokee, the challenges that come with a trip like that, and what you really learn about yourself (and your setup) when you’re that remote.

We also get into a more real conversation around mateship, the kind of trips he does with his group, why they’re not just about partying, and how important it is to have genuine people around you. We touch on men’s mental health, connection, and why getting away on trips like this can mean a lot more than people realise.

If you’re into 4WDing, travel, or just figuring out how to build a lifestyle around what you enjoy, this one’s for you.

Full-time travel looks dreamy online… but no one’s posting about the dirty feet, lack of showers, dodgy toilets, or foot fungus.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the not-so-glam side of life on the road - from hygiene struggles to money stress and the reality of feeling lonely while living what’s meant to be the “dream."
