  • Slowing down 🚐 

The whole appeal of van life and many alternative living options is the freedom to take a go at your own speed.

But sometimes it feels like you just want to see it all.
And we’ve seen SO much in the past twenty months. 

Especially in the past six.

As Canadian travellers, I find that our slow season is the opposite of others. We escape the cold weather and have been abroad for many Christmases and snowfalls. During those times, we’re cliff jumping, waterfall hopping, cruising, skatepark hunting, friendship building…

Then, when lake season rolls around we’re ready to take on a more conventional work schedule, to save up to do it all again.

But we have to tell ourselves to relax, to enjoy the downtime, to take in the peaceful moments just as much as the epic ones. To soak up the sun, to drink water, to slow down.

It’s a constant learning process.

  • But how do you SHOWER? 😅

This photo is from the most ridiculous YouTube thumbnail we’ve had to date. We took so many funny photos this day, we couldn’t NOT share. Or maybe we could. Oh well.

But let’s answer the question while we’re at it.

🚿 We primarily go to Anytime Fitness which is a little pricier than Planet Fitness. In our opinion, however, the equipment is way nicer, there are usually less people, they’re all over Canada & the US, it’s open 24/7, and the showers are private.

🚿 When we’re not near an Anytime Fitness (this has only happened one time when we were in Quartzsite), we find a truck stop shower to go to.

🚿 And that’s about it. We bought a camping shower at the beginning of van living and only used it one miserable time.

Do you think a shower is necessary in a van build?

  • We have been doing so much stealth city camping lately that we felt like we needed a break. When we first moved into our van, we set off to Vancouver Island, where we were constantly surrounded by nature - and even though we had no idea what we were doing, it was just easy to be outside.

As you guys know, we’ve lived all sorts of van life. From brick & mortar jobs, to off-grid living, to city dwelling, to full-time travelling. Lately, we’ve seen A LOT of cities and while we’re grateful to have covered so much ground, we knew we needed nature. 

So we nestled ourselves into Starved Rock State Park and reset.

  • “The life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have” – Anna Quindlen

I can’t imagine committing to being the person I was 5 years ago for the rest of my life. I can’t imagine committing to one mindset or one way of life. 

It would be impossible to put into words how much we’ve changed through travel and meeting people. And as we start to hype ourselves up for our next big journey, we’re excited to dive head first with an open mind. 

Whether you’re building a van, starting a new job, buying a plane ticket, or even walking out of the house every morning - you have no fucking idea what’s in store.

Travel has a special way of changing you. 
And the best thing you can do is allow it.

  • Our time in Albuquerque was…needed. We originally drove into New Mexico thinking we were ready to seize the f’king DAY but ended up doing a lot of… sleeping. 

Here are the budget friendly, low energy things we ended up doing:

☼ Vegos: By far, some of the best vegan food we’ve had in the USA. Once just a small food truck and now a full-blown brick and mortar business, Vegos is an all-vegan restaurant serving classic New Mexican dishes. We grabbed a $5 breakfast burrito and were tempted to stay all day. 
 
☼ Albuquerque Museum: The Albuquerque Museum has admission-free days each Sunday morning and the first Wednesday of every month. We spent the day exploring the exhibits that are dedicated to art in New Mexico and the history of Albuquerque.

☼ Old Town Plaza: Albuquerque’s Old Town is filled with little museums, art galleries, restaurants and sweet little gems. We wandered around for hours and experienced the charm of the “heart of Albuquerque”. 

☼ El Cottoro: We stopped for $3 craft tacos at this taqueria and heladeria. Mimosas were also on special for $3 😏 so you know that was on the agenda as well. 
*also serves meat and vegetarian options 

& that’s about it! The rest of our days were spent lazing around in the van until we felt ready for our next adventure.

  • This little, imperfect home we built together has carried us through so many places. 

We often try to go into travel with no expectations - just a few bucketlist places on the list and the desire to learn, connect, and have a good time. 

This van has been the vessel to do all of those things, while simultaneously being our shelter and place we call home. 

Van life is quite honestly nothing like I thought it’d be - but instead, this way of life has brought us to the right people, and the right place at the right time.
