We had no idea exactly how much, how wonderfully; how it would take us to right here, right now. #VanLife is, of course, bigger than just us and our travels. And so, I reached out to some of our fellow roadtrippers to see how life on the road has changed them and their perspective on America. And, just like with any great roadtrip, some music for the ride.
