VAN LIFE
After hiking the Appalachian Trail I was looking for a way to minimize my stuff and maximize my life and #VanLife seemed like the ideal solution. In 2014 I moved into a self-built Honda Element home and lived on the streets of Santa Barbara, California while holding down a regular job and serving as the youngest Club President of the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara. In 2015 I upgraded to a 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia campervan, secured a Digital Nomad income stream, quit my job, and hit the road to travel full-time. For 3 years I crisscrossed North Ameican in Tantor the VW van visiting friends and family and having adventures including driving the Trans-Canada Highway, camping in the Florida Keys, and getting to know a few tow truck drivers due to breakdowns along the way.
