VanLife. It is a life that involves exquisite bedroom window views, with side of the road front porch hangs, all revolving around one and one only, multi-purpose room that serves as the center of my universe. Downsizing is inevitable and most contents that remain must be durable and a dual-purpose. The exception to that rule? My coffee set-up. See how I prioritize specialty coffee while on the road and in a van.

I love the mountains for all the unforgiving peace they exude. Out here, you have to learn to be tough. Out here, you have to learn how to mold to Mother Nature's rules. Out here, you learn to trust yourself and revel in the solitude.
