A few weeks ago we came to eastern North Carolina, where my parents live, to spend a little time living indoors. Long, cold nights in the van were beginning to wear on our bodies and minds; honestly, more so than I expected. * As I enjoy the luxuries of living in a house for a month, I can’t help but feel a little guilty. A little bit like we’re failing at vanlife. Are we somehow less committed to the adventure for needing to take a short break? * Yesterday I was thinking about leading wilderness trips. About how you start with a detailed itinerary and plan to stay on track, but the outcome is ultimately determined by the group of people sharing the adventure. As a leader (and participant, too), the best thing to be is flexible. * We aren’t vanlife failures, I know that. And yes, we are 100% committed to the adventure. So much so that we understand the need to take care of ourselves. To be flexible. To rest and spend time with family. To take a few hot showers. * And when we return home to the van at the end of the month, we’ll be ready. . . . #thenanvan #vanlife #vanlifediaries #womenontheroad #sheexplores #thegroundskeepers #optoutside #tarptent #modernoutdoors #camping #altrarunning #recoverbrands
“Yes we live uncertainty And disappointments have to be And every day we might be facing more And yes we live in desperate times With fading words and shaking rhymes There's only one thing here worth hoping for With Lucifer beneath you and God above If either one of them asks you what you’re living of Say love.” . . . #thenanvan #vanlife #avettbrothers #avettnation #thegroundskeepers #womenontheroad #sheexplores #saltlife #optoutside #sunrise #whereseameetssky #ncoutdoors
We’re on the coast of North Carolina for the month, living indoors and exploring beaches by bike. We’re picking up a little money working in what feels like Santa’s workshop, where we’re making Christmas trees out of crab pots. And we thought getting paid to pull dandelions was weird...🎄 . . . #thenanvan #vanlife #saltlife #optoutside #womenontheroad #sheexplores #ridebikesbehappy #womenwhoride #thegroundskeepers #recoverbrands #beachbike #browinterwarriors
Most surprising place we’ve visited? Southwest Texas. Think deep canyons, rugged mountains, and blue rivers. Getting there takes a little effort, but we can assure you: it’s worth it. . . . #thenanvan #vanlife #chisosmountains #bigbendnationalpark #choosemountains #womenontheroad #sheexplores #thegroundskeepers #leaveitbetter #hike #optoutside #forceofnature #texas
“Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”✨Mary Oliver . . . #thenanvan #vanlife #vanlifediaries #labsofinstagram #vandog #modernadventurer #optoutside #womenontheroad #sheexplores #thegroundskeepers #recoverinthewild #pisgahbear
It’s Giving Tuesday! Rachel and I both worked in the nonprofit world before shifting to full-time travel. We’ve seen firsthand the impact personal donations have in helping organizations reach their missions. * If you are in a place to give, we hope you’ll consider donating to an organization whose mission you’d like to support. Check out our story today to learn more about the ones that are near and dear to our hearts: @eaglesnestcampnc @kwalliance @appalachiantrail @transformative_freedom_fund @avlgreenworks . . . #givingtuesday #thenanvan #vanlife #leaveitbetter #thegroundskeepers #womenontheroad #sheexplores #optoutside #nonprofit #hike #adventureon
