HONDA ELEMENT
After returning from my Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2012 I felt the deep need to own less. Eventually I moved out of my apartment, lived on friend’s couches, and gave away or donated most of my possessions.
In the summer of 2014 I moved into my first home on wheels, a custom built camper in a Honda Element I called The Silver Bullet. It had a closet, 3 clothes drawers, lots of storage, a kitchen on the tailgate, and all wheel drive to get me out of the city in into new adVANtures!
