What if “home” wasn’t a place, but a way of being?

In this episode of Relocurious, we’re joined by Kristy Halvorsen, whose life challenges conventional ideas of relocation, relationships, and purpose.

After serious health wake-up calls as a firefighter-paramedic, Kristy let go of most of her belongings, hitched up an Airstream, and just got on the road. What began as an experiment in freedom became a way of life she calls coddiwompling — wandering with no destination.

Living off-grid and migrating with the seasons, Kristy carries her sense of home with her. She speaks candidly about loneliness, trust, saying goodbye, and staying open when nothing feels certain.

Kristy is the author of Perfect Unfolding, a reflective adventure memoir about a year that “broke her open” and reshaped how she lives. This conversation invites us to rethink what home can mean, and whether it might be something we carry, rather than somewhere we arrive.

This week we’re joined by Kristy Halvorsen, author of the book “Perfect Unfolding” and a full-time solo Airstreamer on an eight-year modern-day walkabout! Kristy shares how coddlewompling — traveling with purpose, without a plan — shaped her life on the road, her boondocking style, and the memoir born from those miles.

From meaningful detours to moments that cracked her wide open, this conversation is a reminder of how an Airstream can change your life when you loosen the itinerary and trust the unfolding.

Watch the Releasing Mental Tension Podcast to go along for a ride. Kristy and I discuss letting go, opening to love, and exploring life with curiosity.

If “normal” is a way of being, Kristy is not this. She is the Author of Perfect Unfolding, an inspiring adventure memoir about her journey of letting go to discover love, meaning, and acceptance. Back in 2017, she sold her stuff and hit the road. She migrates with the seasons while living off-grid in her Airstream trailer. Work and fun have intermingled. A common thread is helping people realize their true nature and live their dreams without sacrificing happiness along the way.

What happens when we stop trying to control our lives and begin listening to the quiet nudges within? What becomes possible when we’re willing to step into the space where the known ends and life begins?

In this conversation, author and world traveler Kristy Halvorsen joins me from inside her Airstream, the home she’s lived in for the past eight years while following what she calls the “tickles of her soul.”

Kristy’s book, Perfect Unfolding, chronicles not just a physical journey across North America but an inner journey of awakening, surrender, and discovering a deeper connection to life.

We explore how aloneness began to fall away, what it means to trust the unknown, how to live from inner guidance rather than fear, and the quiet courage it takes to follow the path that calls to us, even when it makes no logical sense.

If you’ve been feeling a tug toward something new, a shift, a desire, or a possibility you can’t quite explain, this episode is an invitation to listen more closely. To trust the nudges. To take the next step without knowing the whole map. And to discover, as Kristy has, that life often leads us somewhere far more beautiful than anything we could have planned.

Here’s my conversation with Kristy Halvorsen.

What if life wasn’t something to control… but something to explore? In this episode of Get Your Happy Back, I sit down with the remarkable Kristy Halvorsen — a woman who has spent seven years on the road, living by curiosity, inner guidance, and what she calls “the tickles of your soul.” Our conversation opened my heart in the best way. We talk about letting go of “shoulds,” trusting the unknown, and discovering that you truly can’t get life wrong. Kristy’s way of moving through the world is a beautiful reminder that happiness isn’t found in certainty… it’s found in being willing to take the next step without knowing the one after.
