Where do you shower?

Most of the time I will shower at campgrounds if they have a shower available, or I will shower at a friend’s house. Showers have become much more infrequent for me on the road though. I have a shower in my van, but never use it.

How do you balance work and living in a small space?

Before I decided to take this venture, the biggest stress on my mind was how I was going to afford this life. I knew that working as a veterinary technician, I would have to quit my job to be able to travel like I wanted to. I saved every penny I could before I quit my job in May. Affording life on the road isn’t always the easiest. There have been times when I have had to stay put until I find the means to hit the road again. I am lucky enough to have worked for a great veterinary hospital, and when I come back in town, I am able to do relief work there.

What are your hobbies on and off the road?

I try to be as active as I can. Since I travel with my dogs, we try to find a new, fun hike to go on everyday. I also love to read, so in the down times on the road, you can usually find me reading a new book. Also, being on the road has given me the amazing opportunity to go see a bunch of live music.

Off the road I still try to stay as active as I can. I love to hike, go to the lake and snowshoe with my dogs, as well as snowboard, skateboard, see live music and read.

Favorite Travel Destination: Zion National Park, Utah

I dragged my best friend along with me, and we had an amazing time. We hiked 14 miles through the Narrows, and that was a magical experience!
