Can you believe we’ve been doing this now for 10 whole episodes!?! Thanks to everyone who’s tuned in for the ride so far. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have. On this week’s “A Dirtbag’s Guide to Life on the Road,” I talk to Alex Matus — artist, tattoo artist, and nearly 7-year full-time van resident.
Alex talks about how growing up in California and being a climber kind of set her up for her road-worn lifestyle and how the stakes are even higher for a person with an autoimmune condition living on the road during a pandemic. We talk about how she’s transitioned her work as a tattoo artist into a mobile business (spoiler alert: she does not give out tattoos in the back of her van). She’s insanely cool, so I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did having it.
