What’s it like living a day in the full time van life?
This day was filled with ups and downs as I travelled around Burlington, Vermont in search of a Montreal style bagel, and the world’s tallest… One major problem set me back a couple days. But that’s how it goes living in a van. You’ve got to take the good with the bad (and ugly). I’m on a mission to give 1 random act of kindness in all 50 states as I travel across America in my DIY camper van. How big can the acts of kindness get? Follow to find out.

Why am I giving these random acts of kindness?
Over the last decade I’ve walked across America on the Pacific Crest Trail and ridden a bicycle across America on the TransAmerica Trail. On both of those adventures many strangers have helped me in many ways: from hitchhiking, to feeding me and giving me a place to sleep. Those acts of kindness are now memories I will never forget.
Since that time a dream of mine has been to convert a van into a tiny home and travel in it across America. Originally I bought a Ford Transit cargo van back in 2016 with this dream in mind. I was ready and willing to get on the road right away. But life had other plans. Fortunately I was finally able to finish my van project in 2021 so now I live full time on the road. This is my way to travel the country and pay it forward. We can do small things with great love.
