Parklandia Trailer

A married couple packed up everything from their home in Chicago and bought an RV to travel the country full-time, with one goal: to visit as many national parks as possible along the way. With each stop in each park, Brad and Matt Kirouac immerse themselves and the listeners – and the Kirouac’s dog Finn! – in these beautiful, larger-than-life places and share our discoveries about what makes them truly special, from the intimidating wildlife of the Everglades to the cinematic lore of Redwood, all with a dash of what it’s really like to live in an RV full time.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
The National Park System is home to some of the
most beautiful land and wildlife you are ever going to see,
and they belong to everyone, including you. I'm Brand and
I'm Matt and on our show park Landia, we're bringing
you on the road with us as we explore the
wonders of the Everglades, Petrified Forest, yellow Stone and many more.
Join us as we go beyond your typical sightseeing guides
for conversations about ecology, climate change, life on the road,

(00:26):
and of course, the fun you can have as we
explore the culture in and around the parks. All from
the perspective of two former city dwellers who bought inn
r V and live on the road full time, just
the two of us and our dog Fin. Basically, South
Florida is the perfect place to go shop for Gucci
bags and then kayak with crociles. That classic one two
punch's quite comfortable if you're wearing like a light jacket

(00:46):
or a sweater like it's actually also really comfortable if
you're wearing a batsuit or whatever that's bandex thing that
Robin wears. You know, Oh yes, this is perfect superhero
spandex climate. You have this one aspect of our v
living that we've really come to an understanding and agreement
to is that spending quality time alone is also super important. Yeah.

(01:07):
I feel like we were relaxed and recharged in different ways.
I wish I could relax. I wish I was capable
of just like chilling out. Um doxins plus kayaks they
don't really go well together, but it would be cute
to see him in a life est. The terrain is
mostly dry sand and rocks, but it's all dotted with
small greenery like these spiky looking mescow plants. I love
me some my scale. That made things worse because while

(01:28):
I was out there suffering, it just made me thirsty
for mes cow cocktails. If you want to refreshing, relatable
look at the outdoors, listen to park Landia coming August seven,
