VanlifeAdventure TravelDIY and Van Conversion

Before life on the road, I was juggling classes, part-time jobs, and a creative itch that college just wasn’t scratching. I was supposed to be finishing my junior year, but instead I found myself spending long nights editing videos for fun and daydreaming about a life that didn’t involve lecture halls or group projects. I felt restless, stuck, and honestly a little lost - like I was doing everything “right” but nothing that felt right for me.

One night, while spiraling through creator videos online, I stumbled into a world of women traveling solo, building businesses from their laptops, and sharing stories that felt way more real than anything happening in my textbooks. Something clicked. I realized I didn’t want to wait until graduation to start living the life I kept imagining.

A few months later, I bought a used van with the little savings I had and teamed up with a couple of friends who knew their way around tools. We turned it into my tiny home on wheels, piece by piece. That van became my classroom, my creative studio, and my freedom all at once.

Today, I travel full-time, create content about solo living and adventure travel, and share everything I’ve learned through Instagram and my podcast, “Brave Enough.” Leaving college early was scary - but choosing myself was the best decision I ever made.
