As someone with family abroad, international travel has always been a big part of my life. When international travel was taken off the table in 2020, I realized how much there was to explore in my own country. I had taken a few cross country trips in my trusty Subaru but my intention with the van was to be able to savor the journey just as much as the destination This build was a much longer project than I had initially anticipated, starting in 2020, and sometimes it feels that there is a never ending list of upgrades to make. But a lot of intention and care has been put into this little home on wheels, with the loving hands of many friends and family members too. Being in a closer relationship to Mother Earth brings me a deep sense of peace, and I hope that Zia can inspire new adventures, new experiences and feelings for others too 🫶
