Josiah had a successful career in Silicone Valley, but was ready for more! So about 6 years ago he decided to become a nomad, and was surprised at the stigma that accompanied his choice. Still, he regrets nothing and loves what he does outside his van more than his rig itself.
His 1982 Volkswagen Westfalia Vanagon is a super cool green machine, with a number of excellent after-market upgrades. He has some dreams to redo the kitchen and make the space even more livable. What do you think?
