    Outdoor Miles Podcast | Full-Time RV Living, Digital Connection, and the OhHi App Story

    What happens when you leave the sea behind and set your sights on the open road? For Alex and Jackie, it meant embracing a new kind of freedom — one shaped by wide landscapes, constant motion, and the need to stay connected with the people who matter most.

    In this episode of the Outdoor Miles Podcast, we sit down with this adventurous couple to hear how they transitioned from living full-time on a sailboat to traveling the country in an RV. After years of navigating the ocean and calling their boat home, they shifted gears to explore life on land — not just changing their mode of travel, but rethinking how they wanted to live.

    Alex and Jackie share what surprised them most about the switch, what each lifestyle taught them, and how they’ve adapted to the challenges of living small and moving often. They also reflect on the emotional journey behind the logistics — what it feels like to start over, what they miss from their sailing days, and how they've stayed grounded through it all.

    One of the biggest lessons they’ve learned? Staying connected matters. And that insight led them to become part of the team behind OhHi — a mobile app designed to help people on the move keep in touch with loved ones. Whether you're boondocking, traveling off-grid, or just tired of social media overload, OhHi makes it easy to share updates privately and meaningfully — even if your friends and family aren’t using the app.

    Built with RVers and vanlifers in mind, OhHi is made for life with limited signal and unpredictable service. It’s about making connection simple, even when your lifestyle is anything but.

    🎧 In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why Alex and Jackie left the sailing lifestyle behind

    • How they made the leap into RV life (and what surprised them most)

    • The emotional side of nomadic living and staying connected with loved ones

    • How technology like the OhHi app helps bridge the distance

    • Their favorite places, lessons from the road, and what’s next in their journey

    • What they’d do differently — and what they wouldn’t change for the world
