Last time I posted, we were heading down to Costa Rica to work at the Envision Festival, which was an amazing time. After our month in Costa Rica, … Continue reading The Zero-Waste Homestead Begins!

It was back in the spring 2015 when I first started considering downsizing my life and living in a van.

It was sometime in late May 2015 that my life’s path was changed drastically.
