Episode Details

What if homesteading isn’t about where you live, but how you live? In this episode of Traveling Towards Wealth, host Sarah Jones invites you into her 400 sq ft fifth wheel RV - her “homestead on wheels”- to bust the myth that you need land and a barn to live self-sufficiently. Sarah shares her real-life journey of intentional living, showing that homesteading is a mindset rooted in the choices you make every day: what you grow, what you consume, and how you spend your money.

Sarah dives deep into the practicalities of food preservation, comparing canning, freeze drying, and her personal favorite - dehydrating. She explains why dehydrating is the perfect fit for small spaces and RV life, and how it empowers her to buy in bulk, reduce waste, and always have nutritious food on hand. Beyond food, Sarah explores how to simplify your home products, whether you’re into DIY cleaning solutions or prefer to shop with brands that align with your values. She encourages listeners to start slow, avoid overwhelm, and redefine what “bulk” means for their unique lifestyle. Plus, she teases her next adventure: experimenting with a hydroponic system to grow herbs and greens on the road.

This episode is a warm, supportive reminder that you have more control over your health, home, and happiness than you think - no matter your square footage. Sarah’s unfiltered advice and practical tips will inspire you to take one small step toward intentional, value-led living today.
