Staying Online From a Van: How We Keep Remote Work Running When the Signal Doesn’t
We both work 9-to-5 office jobs in advertising, remotely, from a van. Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern, we’re usually working from inside it, wherever we’ve parked that week. Here’s what keeps that running. Starlink is our main connection. When Starlink can’t connect, we switch to the hotspot on a phone. Behind that sits a […]
Our Real Work Week in a Self-Built Van: Workdays, Travel Days and Everything in Between
Our week starts the same way wherever we park: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern, working from inside the van. We’ve traveled full-time in our self-built camper van since April 2026, and we both work remotely. If you’re planning to do the same, this is the part the photos tend to leave out: how […]
Vanlife 101: Defrosting Our Freezer
Living in a van comes with its fair share of little chores, and defrosting the freezer is definitely one of them. Our fridge was starting to look pretty empty, which meant it was the perfect time to take care of something we’d been putting off: the growing collection of ice inside our freezer. And when […]
The Meadows, Lakes and Summit of Mount Revelstoke
Mount Revelstoke National Park: Everything Between the Bottom and the Top When we started up Mount Revelstoke, the summit felt like the destination. Sixteen miles of road climbed ahead of us, winding from the forest near Revelstoke toward the subalpine meadows at the top. We expected the views to get better as we climbed, maybe […]

Our First Time Camping on Private Land This was our first time staying on private land, not a campground with spots and hookups, just a river bank and general rules. When you head in you will see a box to leave the cash, which is $5/night. It is the honor system, so honor it and […]
Getting Back On The Road
July In The Van As I write this, we are somewhere between Colorado and Montana, watching the road stretch farther north in front of us. For the past several weeks, we had been moving through Texas, Mississippi, and Florida, spending time with family and stepping away from our usual travel routine. It was good to be […]
Arches National Park in One Day
We visited Arches National Park in May with blue skies and 70-degree weather, one of the reasons spring is a great time to visit. If you’re planning to explore Arches in one day, getting there early makes a big difference, even though there was a line when we arrived, it moved quickly.
After entering the park, we stopped at the visitor center for a quick look around before heading up the scenic, winding road toward our first viewpoint, Courthouse Towers.
