Just Roll With Us

Welcome to Just Roll With Us — formerly Van Life Voyages!

We're an interabled couple navigating disability, daily life, and everything in between — with grit, humor, and heart.
He Rolls: Derec is a spinal cord injury survivor and quadriplegic living his fullest life as a VFW Commander, accessible gardener, and co-owner of one of Southern California's only fully wheelchair-accessible Airbnbs.
She Rolls: A medically retired RN managing EDS and chronic illness — living the van life and showing that wheelchair life and mobile life can coexist in the same love story.
What you'll find here:
🦽 Wheelchair life — real, unfiltered, and often funny
🏠 Wheelchair accessible home design + our accessible Airbnb
✈️ Disabled travel tips + accessible travel inspiration
🎖️ Veteran life, VFW leadership, and what disability actually looks like in service
🐾 Hank & Sagie — our four-legged co-pilots

📍 Southern/Central California | 🔗 Also find us: @NurseTLC for chronic illness + van life content


Just Roll With Us

To our amazing Just Roll With Us family 💛

Our journey has always been about resilience — on wheels, in rain, through breakdowns, and through health challenges.

Because chronic illness is such a big part of my life, I created a separate channel called Nurse TLC (‪@nursetlc‬ ) where I share more vulnerably about living with EDS, POTS, chronic pain, and holistic healing while doing van life.

If you’re walking a similar road — or just want to support that part of my journey — I’d be honored to have you there.

Thank you for cheering us on in every chapter ~Tanya

♿️ We would like to welcome Hank to the family! He is a rescue and will be training as a physical assistance service dog for Derec. His calm demeanor and friendliness with both humans and other dogs make him a good candidate. Plus, he isn't afraid of the wheelchair. Video to come 😁
