We’re taking our first step – or rather, driving our first mile.

As corny as it may sound, we are hitting the road to discover America. We’ve packed our van with a lot of questions and very few answers. Where will we go and how will we get there? These are questions about our physical journey. We have maps, travel books and a myriad of phone apps to help us navigate. Yet, we can only say we will be pointing our van some direction on the compass and then seeing where it takes us.

A van is a tiny home. So, it is said, you live out of a van and not in one. With one hundred and twenty square feet of living space, our van can seem as cozy as the name we have given it: Hand•in•Hand. One upside to our small house is it has wheels. We can easily change the view out our window as often as we like. We will report to you on our second home’s path as it takes us through cities and towns, country sides and wildernesses.

This is one part of our journey we will share.
