Hola Numero 48!

“It is impossible to move forward while you are still looking backward.”

FORTY-EIGHT! The years have flown by because it seems like I was just in my 20s yesterday. Today as I celebrate my birthday and give thanks for the many blessings that I have been given in my short time of living, I am so excited for a new year. This year, I’m looking forward to completing the conversion of Selah and hitting the road to explore all of the amazing places that the USA has to offer. Nothing nourishes my soul or makes me feel closer to God than being in nature.

I am a continual student with a passion for learning new things and the challenge of learning how to convert a short bus solely by watching videos on Youtube and Instagram and Reddit is thrilling. So thank you to all of the pioneers that have gone before and have been so kind to post your successes and failures for all of us new nomadic dreamers to follow. This community has to be one of the most accepting and helpful that I have ever come across.

For those that may be looking to live the dream, here are a few links to resources that I have found helpful in getting started.
