Ideally I want to sell my car and BUY a van-life style conversion van. I don’t necessarily need to accomplish the van life but I do want to be able to travel without an airplane, hotel, rental car, and so on. Whether that’s a road trip to the crand canyon, alaska, or the closest state park.

Unfortunately making the switch in the middle of an active car lease is not financialy practical and buying a 3rd vehicle is also not ideal. However, I did watch a DIY video that was interesting. It was functional and well organized.
