🌟 Welcome to Sharing My Van Life
Hi there — I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Catherine, and I’ve been traveling across Canada and the U.S. in my van for the last few years, following sunshine, curiosity, and a desire to live more freely.
I started Sharing My Van Life to give honest insight into what this lifestyle is really like — the beautiful moments, the hard lessons, and all the surprises in between.
Whether you’re dreaming about van life, already on the road, or just curious about living a little differently — you’re in the right place.
