    Living full-time in my rolling tiny home has been the best decision of my life. Off-Grid living offers a peace and connection to life that you just can't explain. When i first started van life i build a stealth camper van with the mindset the you had to live a stealth van life and i soon discovered that you can just live the city van life and boondock in the countryside and as long as you are respectful of the backcountry and cities you live in. Stealth van life in not necessary. Be proud of the life you choose to live, Share this van life journey with everyone. Remember Tiny Homes and The whole tiny house lifestyle is very popular and #vanlife is no different. When you don't hide it people will come say hi and ask you questions. The world is more curious than hateful. Well......Welcome to my everyday van life adventures. My name is Chrome Valdez and i travel full-time with Cruz the bulldog. Stay weird everyone and thank you for being here.

    Don’t be too disappointed about not making that steep grade, I blew out my rear axle in my van trying to make it up one. Rear end started bouncing and when it came down, blew out the gears. Get an air compressor on board so you can air down on bumpy roads...

    The deerski"s actually spent the night eating and watering and were heading back to their bedding area in the morning to spend the daylight hours out of sight. Btw be careful if you head up some logging roads with a radio frequency sign posted, you don't want to get run over by a loaded logging truck coming out doing 90kmh.

      I don't know what it is but here by the St Lawrence river there used to be some at sunset but only near the shore. The other day i was ON THE SIDEWALK BY THE STREET dozens of feet away from the shore and the bug cloud was so thick i had to turn around & wait for it to be dark so i could walk to my home! And i am not scared easily!
