With the rise of working remotely and the sense of freedom that comes with it, more people than ever are taking the road less traveled and are choosing to explore the world off-grid in a van. Join today’s podcast guests Alex Welsh and Pat Bruns of Yama Vans as we discuss all things van life, from part-time adventuring to full-time living and everything in between.
