The Workamper Show Podcast

Brandon’s story is a reminder that the RV lifestyle isn’t just for retirees or couples. It can also be a way for single parents to deepen family bonds, create lasting memories and show children how to live with courage and curiosity.

The Catskill Mountains Gilboa KOA is more than a workplace, it’s a campground where Workampers can enjoy nature, connect with travelers from around the world, and create memories that last long after the season ends.

The key takeaway is that before starting any job, ask your employer whether they carry workers’ compensation insurance and whether you are covered under it.

Route 66 is America’s longest small town. And there’s no better way to experience its history than behind the wheel of your own great adventure.

Strong communication before, during and after a season helps identify problems early, manage expectations and build the kind of loyalty that keeps Workampers coming back.

Whether you're a weekend RVer or full-time Workamper, chances are you’ve captured thousands of photos during your travels. But, what happens if your phone gets lost or your hard drive fails? Unfortunately, many RVers have faced that exact heartbreak, losing years of irreplaceable memories in an instant. Today, I am speaking with someone who has an ideal solution to preserve and protect digital images. Angela Andrieux, she is a photographer herself, and a “customer evangelist” with Mylio Photos. The company developed a unique photo organization platform tailor-made for people who want complete control over their digital memories. Mylio is especially valuable for Workampers and RVers who capture thousands of images on their journeys across the country, but often struggle with organizing and preserving them. Instead of uploading all your photos to a remote server, Mylio allows users to store images on their own devices, such as computers, external hard drives and even mobile phones. The software uses a peer-to-peer connection, meaning your devices talk to each other directly, giving you full control over privacy and data storage. Mylio uses facial recognition, GPS coordinates and embedded metadata to automatically organize photos by people, places and dates. That means you can easily find a specific photo of your grandchild at a national park, even if it’s buried in a library of 50,000 images. Angela also shared how Mylio supports a 3-2-1 backup strategy by creating three copies of your media on two different types of devices, with one offsite to safeguard your memories. She shared a sobering reminder: don’t keep all your photos in one place. With hard drives prone to failure and internet connections often unreliable on the road, it’s essential to have a smart backup plan. That’s where Mylio Photos can be a game-changer. The software allows you to centralize your photo library from multiple devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, SD cards and even cloud services like Google Photos or Apple Photos. Once everything is in one place, Mylio helps you organize, search and retrieve images. Its powerful AI capabilities even read text within images and recognize faces and landmarks. That makes it incredibly easy to find the photo you need, when you need it. Perhaps most importantly, Mylio doesn’t require an internet connection for day-to-day use. Yet, if you choose to use cloud storage, then Mylio offers encrypted backup options with providers like Backblaze, or you can connect your own services like Amazon S3 or Google Drive. For just $240 per year, users get access to Mylio’s full suite of tools, with additional cloud storage available, if desired. There’s also a seven-day free trial, plus the opportunity to schedule a one-on-one setup call with an expert to walk you through importing and organizing your digital media.
