Join us as Michele DeVries, a seasoned overland traveler, unveils her journey from settling into an unconventional lifestyle to thriving in it. Originally sparked by discomfort, Michele's transition into full-time nomadism has blossomed into a life filled with personal growth and inspiring perspectives. At 43, Michele finds herself reveling in the unexpected joys and challenges that living in a camper truck and RV brings, demonstrating that the road less traveled can lead to profound self-discovery.
Meet a couple who turned their conventional lives upside down by swapping homeownership for a truck camper, igniting a lifestyle of freedom and exploration.

A serendipitous trip to Ireland prompted a pivotal shift, inspiring them to redefine what it means to truly live life on their terms. Their story is a testament to the transformative power of stepping outside comfort zones and embracing a journey filled with new horizons.
Michele and her husband, Mark, continue to share the realities of life on the move, from managing resources to finding community among fellow travelers. They've upgraded to an RV for more comfort and space, which has allowed them to balance work and life more efficiently, especially on their winter trips to the breathtaking Baja landscapes. Their commitment to slow, intentional travel not only enriches their experiences but also inspires others to consider the possibilities of a life that prioritizes connection with nature and authentic storytelling. Tune in as we explore these captivating stories of adventure, resilience, and the enriching path of overland travel.
