After almost two years of living full-time in my van, I’m finally opening up a bit more about myself and the lessons this journey has taught me. In this video, I share the things that genuinely surprised me—and the things that didn’t—as I adapted to life on the road.

It’s been an amazing and completely unexpected adventure, and it still blows my mind that I haven’t missed living in a traditional home even once.

Van life has reshaped how I see myself, my role in the world, and the way I participate in society. I’ve never felt freer. Whether you’re curious about van life, dreaming of hitting the road yourself, or just here to find out what two years in a van does to a person, I hope you enjoy the ride. 🚐✨
