She chose van life after suffering loss – finds pure happiness on the road

Sharing is caring!

Hi, I’m Sam, and this is my van. I call it “van DAF.” Sometimes it looks gray and sometimes white, depending on the time of year and where I am. In Colorado, it’s usually gray.

To be honest, I started traveling in my van because I went through a lot of tough times. I lost some important people and realized life is really short. I didn’t know about van life at first.

I was just looking for true happiness and trying to figure out who I really am, instead of trying to be who others expected me to be.

I started by camping in my car. Then, I realized I wanted something bigger. Everything changed when I discovered Sprinter conversions, and it opened up a whole new world for me.

They’re all under the name Sam van Sam. My name is Sam, I live in a van, and my last cat’s name was Zamboni, so that’s why it’s Sam van Sam. When you find me, please say hi. I’m really friendly, I promise! Tell me where you’re from, and I hope to see you on the road.
