Chasing the Sun with Casey Elmore
On this episode of the Fast Lane with Sara Jayne podcast, Sara Jayne talks to Casey Elmore about health and wellness, living life in a camper named Alpie with three kids and a dog, what it means to be “chasing the sun,” and more.
Episode Highlights:
- Casey mentions that she has given birth to all of her children completely naturally.
- She and her husband and three children live in their camper and are traveling around the United States.
- Casey and her husband have an online wellness business that allows them to live the lifestyle they do.
- Even in their larger house, they noticed that they were all often in the same room anyway and it made sense to them to downsize.
- Casey says that they’ve had to be super intentional about their clothes and style, and it’s made her specifically really consider her sense of style and fashion and what it means to her.
- Casey and her family don’t carry health insurance because they decided that the cost of regular doctor’s visits and prescriptions for their healthy family was less than what they were paying in premiums.
- They decided to homeschool their oldest kid for kindergarten and then kept going with it now that they’re on the road.
- Casey and her husband opened a gym together before they had their first child, but decided that a brick and mortar business was not for them.
- One of the main things that Casey focuses on with their lifestyle is carving out time to spend with her husband as well as with each of their children individually, as well as making time to have access to wifi so they can conduct business.
- Since they’ve been on the road for a long time, they have to be very intentional about eating out at restaurants that are healthy and have food that is organic, vegan, etc.
- Casey and her husband were both athletes growing up but they struggled with chronic injuries and other health conditions, and when they moved to Austin 9 years ago they visited a Whole Foods for the first time and were inspired to make the switch to a plant-based diet.
- In the fall, they will be spending time in the midwest and will then be migrating down south toward the beach.
- They have a storage unit with mostly sentimental/family items.
- After COVID, they are planning to travel internationally.
- Their camper is named Alpie.
3 Key Points:
- Earlier this year, Casey and her husband sold their home and began living out of a camper with their three young children and the family dog.
- Structuring time and being intentional about time and material possessions are key to living this lifestyle successfully.
- Casey believes in “chasing the sun,” and that is what guides them on where to travel next.
