About this podcast
Embark on a journey with Jake and Whitney, a married duo traveling the country with their dog, Sandy, in an RV and camper van. Whitney is a travel nurse, and Jake is a stay-at-home husband, and together they’re turning every destination into an adventure.
On The Audacious Coddiwomplers, we dive into the highs and lows of life on the road, sharing favorite finds, delicious eats (donuts and smash burgers, anyone?), and helpful tips for fellow wanderers. Whether it’s discovering new places or revisiting old favorites, Jake and Whitney bring a unique perspective, a sense of humor, and plenty of heart to every episode.
Join us for stories, insights, and inspiration to fuel your next adventure—wherever the road may lead.
