VANLIFE - the new American Dream?

 The American Dream;  The ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.

VANLIFE;  The continuous and everlasting voyage of living in a van, either traveling, down by a river, or partying at every bonfire you can find.
Off-roading is key and animals living in the van only adds to the overall van life. 

-Its no secret that more and more people are breaking down the walls of familiarity, and immersing themselves into a lifestyle less full of repetition and stuff, and more full of LIFE.
The easy way of doing this? VANLIFE.

Social media can easily promote this as a version of life so simple and true to yourself, but is it?
also, inhabiting a vehicle is becoming more socially acceptable every day,  but should it?
thoughts?

Vanlife with no plan. 4 years.

Y'all haven't heard from me in awhile...

        Ive began to document more on paper, and more in detail,
in hopes of one day releasing what can happen in a van with no plan, and what has.
-but when I get the chance, I catch you up :)

Things have definitely changed in 4 years, that's for sure, whew!,
but the fact that we're brothers and we live a traveling lifestyle are 2 things that never will.
👉🏻There's just a lot to catch you up on to say the least of what we've accomplished, who we've met, what's manifesting for the future for us and anything else ive neglected to share with my online friends. I made this blog a long time ago, and dedicated it to sharing my roaming stories that have been made possible by hoppin' in a van and hit the states with no plan, no money, a positive mindset and an able-and-willing work ethic.
-We were only 17 and 20 when we immersed ourselves into rambling randomness, and skateboarding was the only thing promised. Now that we're young adults (23 &25) who have been deeply impacted by the choice we made, that we are no longer the same people who left Sacramento and our sales jobs.
Did you know that we don't live in the same Vehicle anymore?
Did you even know that were brothers?
Did you know that we've traded our vehicles 6 times? Or that our most recent trade was our 2008 Ford diesel shuttle bus for 2 separate vans ?
Did you know that be both have girlfriends now? Or the fact that they both live on the road with us?
Did you know that we Skateboarded across the country from Los Angeles to New York with some dudes from England to make a film?
Did you know that we got hired by the State of New York to lay/tie rebar and assist in massive concrete pours to help build a dam?

I never got the people that say theres no work out there..
theres just too much that comes about.
Sharing our story in detail is in full effect for the future, and that's the plan
Other than that we're still living the same unplanned destination lifestyle.
see you out there
