I grew up in the country with forty acres as my playground, which is probably why I prefer wide-open spaces. I drink copious amounts of black coffee, top my pancakes with peanut butter, and find chips and guacamole impossible to resist. I stride forward into the unknown with unflinching optimism and often leap without looking. Easily awed by nature, I believe there is magic to be found in everything.

I bought my van in July 2018, and in February 2020, it became my full-time home. I sold my house, all belongings, quit my job, and intentionally stepped away from the comfortable life I’d created.

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” – Rumi
