UbutheVan

My partner and I decided to make a bold move away from the ease and predictability of our suburban lives. We sold everything we had and poured our hearts into transforming a Sprinter van into our new home on wheels. Over the span of three unforgettable years, we traveled extensively across North America, enriching our lives in ways we never thought possible.

To get a taste of our journey, feel free to check out our website at https://ubuthevan.com. Keep in mind, though, that it hasn't been updated in a while - we've been too caught up in living the adventure! But it will give you a good idea of our story and the lifestyle we've grown to love.
