I've been living on the road in a 30-year-old VW Vanagon Syncro named 'Otis' for the past four years, exploring the many challenges, rewards and lessons of a life of perpetual motion.

From setting out with three friends on a year long drive down to South America, to an engine failure that kept me and my companions holed up in an Ecuadorian mechanic's shop for five months, to going on and working as a creative for companies like Backpacker Magazine, Subaru, BMW and Adidas and spending nine months camping in and documenting the United States' National Parks, to many, many more breakdowns and subsequent adventures--I've been fortunate enough to witness all sorts of walks of life, and I'm here to share my findings and hopefully motivate others to travel, get outside, and to appreciate all the beauty in the world around us.

Steemit seems like an incredible platform for creatives and creators alike, and I'm so excited to be a part of this new and rapidly growing community.

Follow along as I share my stories, images, and videos of what it's like to sell all your stuff, move into a van, and prioritize experiences over possessions.
