EPISODE 351: Jim Hinckley inspires people to travel along Route 66

This week we talk about one of the most revered highways in America, Route 66, and why you should make plans to travel along America’s Highway from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif.

Today’s guest is Jim Hinckley, one of America’s foremost historians on Route 66, and the creator of Jim Hinckley’s America travel network. It is a multimedia project dedicated to “telling people where to go” by celebrating small-town life, vintage Americana and the joy of road trips across the United States.

He shares fascinating stories about the road’s origins, its many realignments, and the quirky landmarks that have made it a living time capsule of 20th-century Americana.

EPISODE 350: How Communication Between Employers and Workampers Improves Retention

In this week's conversation, Workamper News co-owner, Jody Duquette, shares valuable insights about why communication and relationship-building are so important between Workampers and employers.

That’s especially true in the weeks and months between hiring and the actual start date.

She explained that many Workampers line up jobs five to 12 months in advance, which leaves plenty of time for employers to strengthen connections before anyone arrives on site.

Strong communication before, during and after a season helps identify problems early, manage expectations and build the kind of loyalty that keeps Workampers coming back.

EPISODE 346: Workamper Connie explains how she uniquely supports her RV lifestyle at 75

Connie Waddell is a 75-year-old solo traveler who proves that adventure has no age limit. Born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, she grew up camping. But, three and a half years ago, she decided to jump into RV life full-time.

Connie started Roam Free Threads as a purposeful way to support herself while traveling.

What started as an idea for mugs and T-shirts has grown into an online store offering more than 225 designs. Many of the designs were inspired by her own experiences and those of her fellow nomads.

EPISODE 345: Garrett Syfrett talks about full-time RVing with children

This week, we are talking with a father of three who, along with his wife, enjoyed RVing full-time as a family for more than six years. He has lots of advice to share.

Garrett Syfrett is a husband, father of three, video production specialist, and former full-time RV traveler.

In 2018, Garrett and his wife made the bold decision to sell their home in Washington state and hit the road with their young family in search of a more connected, experience-rich lifestyle.

They had already been homeschooling their children, so when the opportunity came for Garrett’s wife to work as a traveling nurse, they decided to turn her frequently-traveling work opportunities into a full-time family adventure.

EPISODE 343: Workamping Jobs at Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation

Located in the gateway town of Medora, North Dakota, just east of the Montana border, the foundation operates many of the attractions, businesses and recreational experiences in the area.

The foundation hires about 350 seasonal workers each year, and Sara Sperling, the organization’s human resources generalist, said Workampers play a big part in making the summer season a success.

The typical Workamping season begins in April, hits its peak in early June and winds down in late October.

Positions are available in hospitality, retail, food service, lodging, entertainment support and even as lifeguards. The foundation has jobs for solos, couples and families, especially those with teenagers over 14.

EPISODE 342: Learn about opportunities with Idaho State Parks and Recreation

In this episode, we explore the wide range of volunteer roles available throughout Idaho’s 30-plus state parks and recreation areas.

Those include jobs as traditional campground hosts and visitor center support staff as well as trail maintenance, educational programming and even building bridges on backcountry trails.

Hosting between 380 and 400 volunteers each season, the agency offers positions across a diverse range of parks and landscapes. Those include quiet lakeside retreats to adventurous trail systems deep in the forest.

The standard expectation is just 20 hours of service per week in exchange for a full-hookup RV site. But, many volunteers choose to do more simply because they love the work and the community that comes with it.
