Episode 56-Shruthi & Peter Lapp (Holiday at See)
A decade ago, the idea of a young couple choosing to live out of their van and travel North and South America would have seemed outlandish. In 2020 it's not only more common, but also romanticized and monetized. In a world of pretenders and attention seekers Shruthi & Peter Lapp (Holiday at See) are a breath of fresh air. They've been on the road for over four years, but their adventure started long before that. In this episode they discuss being transplants in Mississippi, their unconventional courtship, and what lead them to life on the road.
