Stories of full time vanlife in Arizona – How to cook a great, simple Italian meal in a van, the night I stayed in a haunted hotel, meeting up with my love and touring Horseshoe Bend, and finding my favorite campsite of all time. It was an incredible week, and I am so excited to bring you all along with me!
❗️Please note: The drone footage shown here was taken by taking off and landing in Kaibab National Forest land, where our camp was located, and I kept it far above the rim, where the Grand Canyon NP starts in this particular area and where wildlife may be present. Droning is NOT allowed if you take off or land within a National Park, and I always respect those rules.
✨ Wayfinder Tip of the Week: There is no reason to fear failure – because there is always the opportunity to renew and resurrect yourself from the ashes. Failure only teaches us what to do better next time. There can be no success without missteps. So know that you are powerful! You can always stand back up. Remember… without fire, a phoenix is just a bird standing up 😉 (-Schmidt, New Girl)
