This essential guidebook for anyone looking to hit the road, from the weekend warriors to the full-time nomads, combines practical information, inspirational photography, and engaging stories of travel and adventure. It helps the reader transition past the 9-5 to the nomadic lifestyle, and then guide them to the best vistas, hikes, and adventures in the country. Interspersed stories of nomads (and their beautiful photographs) sharing their struggles and triumphs from the road show every side to #vanlife from families to solo female travelers to older couples and minorities on the road. While it' s certainly rewarding, living full time on the road is challenging. There are many harsh realities that prospective vanlifers don' t think of before diving in headfirst. This book covers everything from safety tips and concerns, how-to tips for building out a van, strategies for finding free and legal camping spots, and how to live a Leave No Trace nomadic life. Trip reports for the modern nomad include sample road trip itineraries and some of the best camping areas, paired with adventures in National Parks and other public lands.
In the early spring of 2017, fueled by the same sense of adventure that drives most modern nomads, Roxy and Ben quit their full-time office jobs to hit the road. Their work as outdoor writers, photographers, and videographers has taken them from the rolling and peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains, through the tranquil and rugged peaks of the Canadian Rockies, and right up to the Pacific Ocean, parking on moody overlooks and below towering redwoods. Through the course of their work, they have had a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the modern nomadic culture. Ben and Roxy hold van life talks and info sessions all over the country. Ben and Roxy share their adventures on social media, their personal website BenThereRoxyThat. com, and through partnerships with Elevation Outdoors and Blue Ridge Outdoors.
