Great read Liz

A very in-depth tale of your journey to getting into van life.

Van life is something I’ve always wanted to give a go as well.

Thanks Michael! What kind of van are you interested in?

At the moment it’s very much a dream more than anything else, but the classic Ford sprinter Vans looks good.

The Sprinters seem to be the gold standard these days!

Yeah they seem to be the go-to

And since, for me, it’s a dream at this point, I’d love to design and renovate the van how I’d like it.

It would also be cool to get an older van than already has a bunch of personality.

Thanks Liz

If you’re someone who enjoys a project, that sounds like a lot of fun!

I think most of us dream of van life a long time before we can make it happen. Keep dreaming! You will get there!

We will see if a 24-year-old van gets me where I want to go! 🤞

Oh that is awesome, Satya! So you saw the website on my van? What town were we in? Was it you who waved at me when I was going through the drive-thru with my dogs? 😃

What a great story! This could be a new chapter in your life.

It was a pleasure meeting you and your 2 canine companions. Looking forward to more of your adventures.

What a great story! I’m so glad you found your Dream Catcher and get to experience the road and coming back to yourself in her. I think this is the perfect way to start healing. Also I love that you listen to Indigo Girls! Haven’t heard them in forever. Take care!

I feel so lucky to have this van! The healing journey is about as bumpy as the Alaskan roads, but at least I’m on my way.
