During a work trip to China in the summer of 2016, I resolved to pursue something that I had been dreaming of doing for some time - leading a nomadic lifestyle in a camper van of my own design. I was hoping to push myself out of my comfort zone, challenge my notions of normal, and see what an alternative lifestyle had to offer.
Over the following months I took steps to make that dream a reality. I bought a van on Halloween, and gave notice to my employer on the first workday of 2017. Between January and and April 1 of 2017, I worked on the van and was fortunate enough to spend 3 weeks in India, where I attended a wedding in Hyderabad, visited friends in Delhi, and explored Sikkim, Dharamshala, and Goa. I came back from India energized to complete the build, and with a huge amount of help from my dad we got the van livable by April 1st.
Since then I have been traveling around the country. This blog captures my travels.
