In May 2018, I moved out of my apartment in the city and into my SUV. Fourteen months later, I bought a van and hired a team to build my dream tiny home on wheels. Fulltime road life has been a wild ride of highs and lows, endless adventure and steep learning curves. This kind of lifestyle is not for everyone but if you’re considering van life, living in a vehicle, traveling fulltime or even simply pursuing a more minimalistic lifestyle…here are ten tips to help you get started. Thanks for being here, and happy new year!

Hey :) I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road fulltime since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. As a semiminimalist, I eventually decided to donate/sell most of my belongings and move into my 4x4 Nissan Xterra. After 14 months of SUV living and falling madly in love with the open road I bought a van and hired a team to build it out. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world on a whole new level, all while having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road

*My van is a 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 High Roof, 136" WB with 24K miles*
