Issue #224: A Realistic Day in the Life in My Van

🎥 Watch a “typical” day in Sedona!

It’s true that no two days in the van are exactly the same, but over my last few months traveling primarily across the southwest, I’ve been able to settle into a loose rhythm that balances work, self-care, errands, and adventures. On a recent trip to Sedona, I filmed a fairly typical (but still extraordinary) day in the van, beginning with a sunrise hike and ending with an “imagination class.” You can watch the vlog below and read on for details, including:

  • A realistic look at a day living and working full-time in a van!

  • My grocery haul, and a simple weeknight meal

  • A misadventure involving a shower…

  • How I wind down for the evening
