Cora and Tyler were looking for a more cost-effective way to travel and ended up stumbling upon a 1986 Volkswagen Westfalia in excellent condition. It saved them the trouble of doing a whole conversion, and while Cora didn’t love the Westy at first, it grew on her.

Having a van has allowed Cora, who has muscular dystrophy, more access to nature. They do hope to convert something larger in the future that would give them space to cook standing up and have a bathroom. Enjoy the tour!
