Travel Australia Podcast by The Feel Good Family

By: Paul Guerin & Katie Guerin
  • Summary

  • G’day! We’re Katie, Paul and Jasper Guerin from Queensland’s Gold Coast.

    We’ve been traveling full time around Australia as a family for over 5 years in our Toyota Landcruiser 79 series and Zone RV Sojourn off road caravan.

    In September 2019 we packed up our lives and hit the road for full time travel around Australia. After a 4 year IVF journey to create our family and long hours spent working our corporate roles we started to wonder if there was a better way. After Jasper was born our perception of what really mattered changed and we realised our most precious commodity was time. We wanted to create more time together as a family, and spend our days sharing experiences and making memories to last a lifetime.

    What seemed like a crazy idea at the time set in motion a 2 year plan to pack up our lives, downsize our ‘stuff’ and explore this great country of ours traveling Australia full time in a caravan.

    It is the best decision we ever made, and over 5 years and over 180,000km later we are still loving traveling this incredible country and living in our tiny home on wheels.

    Each week we produce an episode of our Travel Australia series for our YouTube Channel and free to air television (Channel 31 Melbourne and Channel 44 Adelaide and new in 2025 SKY TV New Zealand), as well as a weekly Podcast that showcases destinations, experiences, RV Industry News and Special Guests that share their journey around Australia!

    If you are planning on road tripping Australia, are dreaming of tackling your own ‘Big Lap’ or are just looking for inspiration to get out there on weekends or school holidays, we’d love you to travel with us and experience the best this country has to offer!

  • SPECIAL EDITION! - Off Road Off Grid AUSTRALIA - what you need to know before you go!
    Feb 14 2025

    Send us a text

    Uncover the joys and challenges of off-road, off-grid living in Australia. We discuss essential preparations, such as education, water management, power systems, communication devices, and relationship dynamics during travel.

    • The importance of education before embarking on off-road adventures
    • Key considerations for water management in remote areas
    • Importance of reliable power sources while camping off-grid
    • Essential communication tools for safety and coordination
    • Relationship dynamics and strategies for travelling couples
    • Resources available for further learning, including a free audiobook
    • Free tickets for Australia’s largest Caravan and Camping Super Show

    Before we sold up our life on the Gold Coast, we had never even owned a tent. Fast forward 180,000km, three different vans, two vehicles, and a few “well, that was a bad idea” purchasing decisions—we’ve learned a thing or two.

    From the highs of remote sunsets and campfire cook-ups to the lows of vehicle rollovers, split heads, broken ankles, ribs, and the occasional tyre blowout, we’ve lived to tell the tale. As the saying goes, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” … or at least a whole lot wiser!

    The first couple of years we cruised the blacktop, but for the last three years, we’ve gone full send into the off-road life. Cape York, Oodnadatta, Meerenie Loop, Plenty Highway—if it’s remote and rugged, chances are we’ve driven it. In fact, our first year with our ZONE RV and Toyota Landcruiser 79 was spent entirely off-grid—unplugged, self-sufficient, and loving it!

    If you’re planning on heading off road and off grid, survival is great, but thriving is even better! Here’s what you need to master:

    1. Water
    2. Power
    3. Communications
    4. Waste
    5. Food & Beverage
    6. Essential Gear
    7. Emergency Plan

    Plus, for our Victorian listeners, we’ll be presenting at the upcoming Caravan and Camping Supershow from the 19th-23rd February 2025, and have a fantastic BUY ONE GET ONE FREE ticket offer for you!

  • NEW CARAVAN SHAKEDOWN + SUBSIDISED TOWING COURSE!
    Feb 8 2025

    Send us a text

    How do you choose the perfect vehicle to tow your caravan across the vast Australian landscape? Join us, Paul, Katie, and Jasper from the Feel Good family, as we tackle this ever-popular debate. We weigh the merits of the trusted Toyota Land Cruiser against the rising trend of American trucks, spiced up with lively feedback from our audience on social media. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the numerous acronyms in the towing world, we’ll help you make sense of it all. Plus, we share our excitement about the latest addition to the travel family—the new Zone RV Sojourn Family Bunk Van 2025.

    Taking a nostalgic detour, we reflect on the life lessons and cherished memories formed during family road trips. Imagine nine of us crammed into a vehicle, journeying from Melbourne to Queensland, or traversing 33 American states in a trusty old Winnebago. These experiences were more than just travels—they were a testament to our parents' resilience and creativity, shaping our values and outlook on life. From the solitude of South Stradbroke Island to the challenges of an IVF journey, our favorite destinations and stories highlight the importance of gratitude and treasuring moments with loved ones. We also touch on a family-authored book inspired by these adventures, illustrating the power of storytelling to capture and create lasting memories.
