A nomad Artist, living and creating in a self-converted van, I paint in a jubilant riot of color to harness the splendor of landscapes through which I travel.
Thank you for all of the birthday wishes yesterday! π It was a wonderful celebration filled with hikes, dogs, lots of cupcakes, delicious food, and friends.
Here`s to another trip around the sun and many more adventures ahead! π₯°π₯³πΆπππΌ

Much needed rain blew in last week and more is in the forecast for the next few days, so I procrastinated on van tasks and got out to enjoy sunny trails between rain showers - and snow in the mountains!

Miscellaneous photos from the past week.
Many wonderful hikes and bike rides. Unscheduled whirlwind reunions with multiple friends. I`ve been making small changes to the van, like sanding down both bumpers to give her a fresh clean look. Paco always loves when I reach the end of a jar of peanut butter....and the delights just keep rolling in.

Taking advantage of this gorgeous sunshiney weather by getting out for (almost) daily hikes.
Completed a 15 mile trail this weekend that took us through beautiful desert terrain and along the ridge lines in these photos.
Here`s hoping we get more in before temps start to climb!

More hiking adventures with friends!
My apologies to those of you experiencing bitter, icy temperatures right now. Hopefully, these photos will make you feel a little warmer inside. π

You all have submitted so many wonderful questions to my last "Ask Me Anything" post!
I`ve compiled them and started typing up responses and hope to share the first one this week.
Paco has been helping and adding insight from a dog`s perspective, too. π₯°πΆπΎ

Next month marks the start of my sixth year living in a van. SIX years!
As a follower of my journey, you no doubt have questions or curiosities.
I want you to submit as many questions as you have - don`t be shy - and then, I`ll answer every single one as a separate blog post. This is as beneficial for me as it is for you. It forces me to step up and get more active on my mostly neglected website, it makes me sit down and pause to reflect on my answers - all of which will be long-winded and thoughtful, and it will remind me just how far I have come.
You can send questions as a comment or direct message. I`ll compile a list, and get to work cranking out posts.
Despite six years of experience, I by no means consider myself a "Vanlife Expert." I have, however, learned a LOT, and hopefully, my experiences will help some of you.

A perk to being back in Scottsdale is spending time with friends I made while building my van here last year.
I had my very first road bike adventure this morning. A friend lent me a great bike, then led me through fancy neighborhoods and along busy streets. I`m used to mountain bikes and rough terrain, but road biking is equally as enjoyable and I got to see so many more areas I hadn`t yet explored. Also, I`m proud of knocking out a 36+ mile ride! ππΌ
Thanks, Bill - let`s do it again! ππ΄πΌββοΈ
