Believe it or not, there will be a video tomorrow morning 😌 Not my usual kind of video but something I wanted to get off my chest. Wrapping up editing now ❤️

Finally, we're back! https://youtu.be/r0i0cPAPZNk
Happy belated Thanksgiving! I recently got back from Spain, spent the holiday with my boy home from college, and received a progress pic of the new van! Here's a sneak peak, still lots more to do! What do you think so far?

If you watched the New York free camping montage, the last few minutes included a glimpse of the next places I'll be sharing more from soon! I tried to end the video that hints at what's coming next so if you missed the end, you might want to check it out.
Are there other states or cities on the east coast you've had luck finding some free gems? I'll always be spending some time out this way to be here for my son's college breaks so I'm always trying to find places I haven't seen yet!

The new video is up! It’s a look at all the places I camped for free across Upstate and Western New York, a mix of quiet wins, a few odd spots, and a couple of lessons learned (con't) https://youtu.be/F4QHtO2j5IM
Some of the locations may look familiar if you’ve watched my recent videos, but this one ties them all together and gives a glimpse of what’s coming next (including camping near this beautiful place!). I wanted to make it because when I first started van life, I could only find videos about free camping out west or parking lots. I couldn’t find much about the East Coast, especially in this region where I had to stay at first.
I hope it helps anyone trying to travel through New York on a budget (and still see something beautiful).

I'm currently putting a video together for this weekend about all of the free camping I did across NY, some highs, neutrals, and a low or 2. I'm hoping it is helpful for those looking to camp in NY and I'm (hopefully) making it scenic and interesting for those who aren't. Stay tuned!

Truly the best kind of morning. I had no idea upper and western NY has so many great forests for free camping.

Sunday video drop :) https://youtu.be/iUUiL7gaEFY?si=xvFwg...
This was a glorious time in a western New York forest. I know my publish time has been a little inconsistent, I've been playing around trying to find the best time for everyone, what is your preference? Saturday morning, Sunday morning, or Sunday evening, let me know! <3

Good morning! ! https://youtu.be/9GOA-riye5E?si=Pjqgz...
I prefer to show the ups and downs. If you only show the good you get accused of being fake. If you show too much of the real you’re being negative or complaining. I’m always trying to find the balance and even with the downs it’s 100% worth it. There are no perfect days living in a house either! But I always appreciate *constructive* feedback ❤️

Quick update: apologies this week’s video is a little late. My beloved special boy, Atticus, is unexpectedly sick with a life threatening illness. We will know more in the next couple of days. I hope you stick with me. Please send good thoughts!
