When we returned to the states in the summer of 2020, we were already thinking about converting a van. We had started to see camper vans all throughout Europe and the idea of living a minimalistic lifestyle intrigued both of us. In the fall, during the thick of the pandemic, we started to hash realistic plans and budgeting for our next adventure. At the end of January 2021, we bought a van! We really couldn’t get started on converting our new home oh wheels until closer to spring due to the frigid New England winter. But we worked in between our full time jobs every chance we got and by the beginning of June, we were ready to take off on a cross country road trip. We transitioned to travel managers within our company and we have been on the road ever since!
