Van lifers are a special breed... or breeds! Modern van lifers are usually those who have woken up from the 9-5, work till you drop and do as society tells you paradigm. Most are environmentally aware, minimalists and prefer to see the world one journey at a time rather than how it's shown on a computer screen. And they are proud of their home on wheels and love to show off their latest build concepts.

A Road In The Wilderness
I believed for most of my life that I had been given a gift of creativity in the sense of written and performing arts. I would proudly own that label all the time, often identifying as dancer, writer, poet, singer. But scarcely would I explore visual arts.

25 Africa safari myths and misconceptions
25 Africa safari myths and misconceptions 1.

National Park Beauty
Zion National Park, like many national parks, holds a enormous amount of beauty and wonder. This Photo was captured on the only paved trail in the park that allows the walking of dogs. I had traveled from Wisconsin to the Rocky Mountains, Great Sand Dunes, multiple canyons, Arches, Great Basin, such varied and unique national parks with splendorous sights. Only to find my last national park to be that of Zion in Utah. Along with me for the ride was my, at the time, eleven month old Australian Shepherd puppy, Enzo. He was an amazing travel companion, despite a couple late-night accidents in the car, and had an awesome time visiting these national parks, typically leaning out the window as we drove on the scenic drives to catch all the sights. This photo may be of Zion, but the true beauty in it is the journey that Enzo and I had to reach that spot and for me to be able to take that particular photo.

Climbing the Great Divide
In August 2015, my parents and I flew over to visit my brother in Colorado. At the time he was living in place that was around 8500 feet in elevation, and since we come from a mere 800 feet above sea level, it took a little while to adjust to the thinner air. Our first night there I felt my heart beating super fast, and I was just trying to sleep!
