Story Chasing | An Absolute Disaster with the Van! (solo female van life) @storychasing | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
My stress was at an all time high with more van issues as I was headed to Baja Mexico for the remainder of the winter in our converted vans, finding as much free beach camping as we can and enjoying van life in Baja Mexico. First stop is San Felipe on the Gulf of California where we also rest and get some pesos from the ATM for our trip. My van issues before leaving the U.S.A. were stressful and I'm hoping that's all behind me right now so this trip is much needed. Beaches. Sand. Water. Tacos! This is exactly what I need! This solo van lifer is traveling to Baja with Shane and Holly from The Queen and Bob channel (link below) and it's their first time in Mexico and in the van. I'm excited to see what adventures we come up with and enjoy as we travel across Baja and explore this beautiful region.

![VAN LIFE “The Kanc” [Fall Foliage NH]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UEfLDmzRMeA/hqdefault.jpg "VAN LIFE “The Kanc” [Fall Foliage NH]
The Kancamagus Highway, or The Kanc as the locals call it, was one of the best scenic byways Ive been on in a long time. Theres so many places to pull off and enjoy the river that runs next to the Kancamagus Highway, hikes like the Sabbaday Falls hike (in the video), picnic tables, lower falls, upper falls, and breathtaking views around the White Mountains. Simply put - ITS BREATHTAKING! Its a must-see bucket list adventure.

★ My Story
Hi, Im Amber and in May 2017 I started full time RV living. I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of traveling full time in an RV and creating incredible memories.
After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B van on a Promaster 2500 chassis. Now in my 5th year of RVing in my camper van, Im still loving this RV lifestyle and being a digital nomad. I almost always boondock in nature and really enjoy that off grid living.

I moved out of my van and into my friends log cabin in the Catskill Mountains and loved it and all the room I had to cook and film!!! The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/storychasing09211. Im housesitting and petsitting for friends so Im staying in their log cabin in the Catskill Mountains while they are on vacation. Ive loved every minute of it with all the trees, nature, peace, and quiet. Its been truly an incredible experience and has given me perspective on possibly getting my own basecamp in the mountains one day. Ive been thinking of a basecamp home for a long time, but Im still looking and waiting for the best opportunity.

I have a fear of heights, especially when you can see down so crossing this swinging bridge in Columbus Junction, Iowa scared me to death. But Im all about facing fears and pushing through it. So I crossed the swinging bridge despite my fears. Thats what happens in my van life travel vlog - I sometimes will push myself and overcome in my explorations. I also headed over to Madison County, Iowa for...can you guess????
