Stories from the road, lessons from healing, and the courage it takes to build a life that finally feels like yours.
If you're new here, welcome. This page collects the road trips, stories, and turning points that shaped my path into vanlife. Whether you're considering your own journey or simply love watching people rebuild their lives, this is where it all begins.
Where it all began.
Before the desert sunsets and cross-country trips, there was a beginning — a messy, honest, vulnerable first step.
This playlist shares the story of how I walked away from the life that was breaking me, sold everything, built my van piece by piece, and chose a different kind of freedom.
From the early fears to the first nights on the road, this is where the journey truly began.
Forests, fires, and finding clarity.
One of my favorite loops — forests, mountains, hard moments, and big breakthroughs.
This playlist travels through some of the most beautiful parts of the Pacific Northwest, and captures the lessons that changed me along the way.
Storms, sun, and the road to freedom.
A journey that started in storms and ended in sun.
This playlist follows my very first long-distance trip — from rainy mornings in the Pacific Northwest to the red rock deserts that felt like home.
It’s a story of learning on the road, finding my rhythm, and discovering a kind of freedom I didn’t know I needed until I was living it.
This journey isn’t about miles or campsites.
It’s about healing.
It’s about choosing courage over comfort.
It’s about letting go of a life that hurt and building one that feels true.
On this road, I’m learning that the smallest choices — quitting smoking, cooking a simple meal, choosing peace — are the ones that change everything.
