Hey guys, we're so excited to share our first week of van life with you! We've been living in a van for about one week and it's been great. Here's what this adventure has looked like so far…
- We drove our van across the country and made a stop in Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Bison, biking, and beautiful sunrises filled our time in this incredible state!
- From there we headed to one of our favorite places in the country: Montana! From getting our van lost in the mountains around Bozeman, Montana to filming our van tour and camping our van at a hot spring, our time here has been full of everything we love so much about this “big sky” state.
It’s so good to finally be back on the road living van life! More adventures to come. :)
