Jennifer lost her beloved dog, her father, her job and a serious relationship all within 6 months in the middle of the pandemic outbreak. While plenty of people would sink into despair (and rightfully so!), Jennifer used the tragedy as a launching pad to set out on the #vanlife she always dreamed of living.
The time alone forced her to sit with her feelings and process the heaviness of the grief she endured — and she’s come out better on the other side. In the interview below, she offers tips for staying safe while traveling alone — and conquering fears. Enjoy!

I so applaud Jennifer for her new lifestyle — new adventures are available to her in her van travels and the people she will meet. Her van is great! She seems to have provided for everything she needs — all so compact and smart! All her storage options are excellent — everything very appealing. (Love the mini bookcase on the wall as well). Very impressed with her choices after a tumultuous time in her life!!! Bravo to Jennifer!!!
