Hi there! Kara here!
Born and raised in Texas, van living caught my attention in my early 20s, but I got swept away in the wild world of event production and quickly pushed this dream to the back burner. Though my career allowed me to travel over 60-70% of the year for nearly 11 years, I never felt āhomeā when I would land back in Texas.
When my lease in Austin, TX was nearing its end in late 2019, I switched gears and decided to finally make my van-living dreams come true!
I moved into my 2018 Sprinter 2500 (named Donde, Spanish for āwhereā) in Jan 2020, and though Iāve spent a decent chunk of time in Texas since, I oftentimes hit the road with my seven-year-old toy labradoodle named Pants for long stretches to explore National Parks and all of natureās offerings in between! Pants, Donde and I will actually be embarking on our first WWOOFing experience during Spring/Summer 2021 in Michigan!
As a vegan, nature-loving wanderer and wonderer with a deep enthusiasm for untapped experiences and obtainment of new knowledge/skills, Iām always seeking hands-on education in the wonderful world of nature; I also love discovering new connections with likeminded humans whom I may learn and grow from.
Iām also an avid meditator and a wannabe yogi who cut out about 98% of my alcohol consumption in September 2020, but a glass of red every here and again isnāt out of the question.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read a snippet about me, and I wish you all the successes in your van living!
Cheers!
