Buckle up 🚐💨

It’s the end of full time Vanlife for me. It’s been an incredible journey & I can’t thank everyone enough for supporting me along the way; from living in my Subaru with barely any money to living in a van, building businesses & communities, hosting group trips, becoming a full time creator, & now buying a home.

A soft, loving, kind & peaceful life is all I’ve ever dreamed of & after years in survival mode I feel like I’m finally settling into what I consider “safe”. Having a space to return to & a home to heal for chandler & I is so important right now. It’s been hard to navigate as I share my life on social media & it’s scary to think I could lose people who have supported this journey because it isn’t over yet.

Now, I’m off to surgery & hopefully some relief 🥼🩺

I’ve been travelling fulltime for two years, then decided to move into an apartment close to home, but this weekend my beloved cat died suddenly and now I’m questioning everything. I have no idea what’s next and where to go next. It’s such a grey area when something like this happens. I hope your dog gets well and you’ve got some beautiful years with them ❤️ thank u for sharing this journey, it makes me feel a little less scared for what’s ahead.
