Prep · 25 Jul 2026
Building the home base
Site is live. Next: gather feedback, then start posting the prep, van, budget, and the fears that come with a trip this big.
Fears · 20 Jul 2026
The quiet fear
Not the roads. Not the borders. The fear that I start and then shrink back into a smaller life halfway through.
Budget · 10 Jul 2026
Money, roughly
Still shaping the budget. I want the numbers honest on the site, not polished. Spent so far: $0 of trip money.
