About the Author

I consider myself an outdoor enthusiast. I love to travel and go to places that most people don't get a chance to go. I want to see it all and live life to the fullest while I'm alive. My camper van is helping me to do just that. I write about my experiences to help inspire others to do the same.

Hey, I’m Dan

I'm an adventurous soul who longs to get away from the normal routine of life. After working in the RV & camping industry, I built my own custom Ram Promaster camper van and have been traveling around enjoying the journey. This website is where I share my experiences and other tips I've picked up along the way.
