The Boomer Woman’s Podcast, episode 236
Discovering Self Via a Nomadic Life with Gila Melamed
Gila Melamed is my first real follow-up conversation. We chatted last Summer about a road trip she was taking in a camperized car – her carpartment – and I knew at that time she was returning home to “up-size” – to a mini van.
Now, many months into Phase 2, Gila tells us about:
- her journey of self-discovery and healing. (Gila’s explanation makes so much sense and is, perhaps, food for thought for many of us.)
- as with other nomads, there were clues from childhood that this lifestyle would be what fed her soul
- the process of converting a mini-van to permanent accommodation
- tips about listening to your gut, with a discussion about fear
- learning from other like-minded, more experienced women
- her growth in so many facets of her life
Gila is so candid about every facet of her journey, both physical and spiritual… and how that journey helps her to be the person she wants to be and raises her up to be the person she is.

I recently found the FB group WOMEN only SUV/Car Living & Camping 🚙🚗 and just today saw my first post from Gila. In going back to the beginning of her story as I’ve done with several other women whose stories have spoken to me, I found this podcast and so glad I did. I am in the beginning stages of taking on this lifestyle. I have a dog so when i leave my four walls, i will at first be staying in hotels/motels and hope to eventually get her used to camping outdoors. Thank you Gila for sharing your strength, wisdom, story with all of us. I hope to one day meet you while on my journey to soul and self.
Dear Kim,
It is so wonderful to see another woman willing to take on this lifestyle as her path to soul and self.
It is far from easy, but it will provide you with the path to self-growth.
It will be my pleasure to cross paths with you.
