Ashley was lucky to be raised in a family that prioritized travel. As an adult, she continued to live nomadically and feed her curiosity. A few years ago she went through a huge, painful transition. Recovering from a severe eating disorder allowed her to shift away from the rebellious life she was living and move into one that was more intentional. Now, she’s learning to find her own way and build a life she loves.

This conversation has come up more and more frequently lately and I think the pandemic may have something to do with it. Because we’re all questioning how to stay connected while keeping our distance, living in a van seems to put another wrench in the Building a Community and Maintaining Friendships side of things.

I’m going to share my tips for finding, building, and maintaining connections while living in a van in hopes that some of ya’ll will find it useful and inspiring.

Christine Reed wanted to be a Rugged Outdoors Woman so she became one.

2020 was anything but expected. I'm glad that I already had a year of living in the van under my belt before this madness showed up. All-in-all, it was a good year with plenty of lessons and new things learned.

Ed turned her 1995 Chevy G20 into a mobile artist’s retreat and has been living and traveling in it for the last two years. Having grown up on a homesteading farm in Indiana, she’s no stranger to self-sufficiency and life on the road has helped her heal, express herself, and live authentically.

Dani’s first foray into nomadic, intentional living began when she was 23/24 and decided to reset her life by buying a one-way ticket to South America. Since then, she’s traveled by car and van, she’s found her voice, a growing passion for the outdoors and adventure sports, and her true, authentic, identity.
