After I retired from my business, I wanted to travel and enjoy this great country from an RV (recreational vehicle). I purchased a motor home and made several trips in it before deciding that it was just too big for my needs. Since I’m a solo traveler, I decided that something smaller would be more to my liking. I began researching other types of vehicles and finally decided that a van would suit my needs well.
I purchased a van and converted it to make it comfortable for living and traveling. My van now is fully self-contained and very comfortable for my travels.

Living and traveling in a van is an alternative lifestyle that has become increasingly popular in recent years.
A van can get into areas where larger motor homes cannot go, such as the desert around Sedona, Arizona where you can view spectacular skies at night.

Van Life involves exchanging the norms of society for a life of freedom, adventure, and minimalism by living in a campervan. Some prefer living in a motorhome, caravan, RV, truck camper, or similar vehicle. Van dwellers prioritize experiences over material objects and often travel on a budget. The van life movement is popular among digital nomads, minimalists, and outdoor lovers. Living in a van allows people to control their destiny and choose to do things their own way while also meeting new people and experiencing different ways of life. While it may not appeal to everyone and comes with its own challenges, living in a van can be seen as a resistance to societal norms and a way to create one’s path.
