Journals of a Wannabe Van-Lifer
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all of our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
T.S. Eliot
My Story
My Background
2022 has been a year of big changes for me. I started a new job with a new company in a new state 900 miles to the East. I'm back in Logistics/Distribution where I belong in an industry with tremendous growth potential. I traded in the old DIY van for a commercial Class B and have begun exploring my new region. It's the cradle of American democracy and culturally significant in many ways.
How I Got Started
It all started, really, before I even knew what was happening. When I was 8 weeks old my parents loaded 5 kids into the VW bus and drove from St. Louis to Washington, D.C. Later, we would spend long weekends in Chicago. As I look back on even older photos I realize travel is embedded in my DNA.
Top Destinations
I love Chicago!! From my youthful excursions with family to later trips with friends and on my own I have always loved visiting the Windy City. I also enjoy trips anywhere I can get away and enjoy the outdoors.
