#vanlife

With the diesel prices as they are in Australia, it's no wonder I'm seeing VW electric vans around. I want one. But I don't have 80k plus for a new van let alone an electric car, and my 2006 VW Transporter

After 17 years of trying to schedule doctors appointments and having to cancel every time and the refusal to seek treatment a any hospital for serious health issues cause they can't find the issue with

Well, I have hit the 100 day mark of life on the road. Just over three months ago, I hastily and painfully moved almost everything from my apartment in Seattle into a storage unit and just threw up my

”Squid, you home!?” I wonder how many times Jonnie has screamed this at my van when it’s empty. The only reason I heard him today is that he happened to still be yelling right as my headphones died and

Another day in paradise Alright, who am I kidding, it’s not paradise. Life is tough; who is anyone to deny that. But we push through and try to make of it what we can. Therefore, I’m calling it “paradise”,

The past couple of days my hands have straight up been too cold to type by the time I get back to Mark the van. Yesterday being my day off, I was excited to go up for another hike to the snow and get some

Aw RATS, I missed a day. I mean who cares, but I was hyped on my streak. Whatever; in all honesty i mainly just didn’t make an Actifit post because I felt like I had made a bajillion posts in the last

Spontaneity. All the best days I have are born from complete spontaneity. It’s becoming a very key component of my life.. well, let’s be honest; I’ve always been this way. Something feels different these

Yesterday was a big one for me. Not physically, but mentally. And in a positive sense. I think I was starting to feel a little cooped up after the rainy week. I was so wet and cold every night that once

The return of the screeching scooter girl! Despite this being the closest skatepark to where I generally sleep, I’ve only gotten here a handful of times. Almost every one of these times, there’s been this

Dear lord, I love this place. I have a lot of moments of doubt, but days like today remind me of how I have ended up here for the meantime. Sure, it is lonely. Sure it is isolated. Sure, the most a grocery

Oh man, I can’t remember the last time I was glad that it is sunny and warm. I much prefer the dreary weather the Pacific Northwest is known for(kind of a myth let’s be honest guys); but damn, it’s fucking

WET!!! Yesterday was god damn WET!!! All in all, pretty inactive day for me.. we were pretty slammed at work due to the event going on, which meant for me a whole lot of standing at the counter to thin

One of my favorite parts about working retail is the amount of grown ass adults who outright refuse to learn how to use their credit cards. It is beyond belief the attitudes people give off, because they

Are y’all getting sick of this god damn view yet? Well, I’m not! I find myself taking so many pictures of this mountain.. it feels a little silly but it’s hard not to when it’s all you see each and every

Well, it snowed up on Mount Hood! In September! It is not entirely unusual, but it’s certainly not something that I am used to. A week ago, it was in the 80s(Fahrenheit) down in town; but my workplace

About a month ago, I walked past a camper and got the strongest whiff of dirty socks. At the time, I thought to myself damn.. is that entire trailer just used for laundry? I doubted that was the case,

Ah man, I broke my (small, fresh, and new) Actifit streak. I had planned to write Wednesday’s post last night; but I somehow fell asleep much earlier than I had planned to; entirely accidentally! I’m not

The. Drought. Is. Over. Other than a light sprinkle a few weeks ago, we haven’t seen rain here since June. Some might think hey, that sounds really nice; but the dryness of the climate has been pretty

What’s poppin’ everyone! Today wasn’t the most active day on paper, but god damn were those 17k steps tough ones! I think I was a bit dehydrated, perhaps a little malnourished; either way I was absolutely
