Next month, Amanda and Matt are organizing an amazing vanlife gathering in one of my favorite places, the Teton Valley in Victor, Idaho. We're stoked to bring this community to a location that has incredible rock climbing, fishing, biking, rafting, horseback riding, and just phenomenal views. Before the event took place, I wanted to introduce you to these two. Here's the story of how Amanda & Matt met, their unique adventure mobile and why they choose to travel even when it gets difficult to continue.

I see a lot of myself in Lisa and her van journey. For that reason, I wanted her to write about her experiences solo traveling. Like Lisa, I get asked if traveling as a woman is scary. It can be an uncomfortable question to answer simply because I wish it didn't need to be asked in the first place. Lisa reflects on this past year living in a van by herself and the lessons she's learned along the way.
