Vic & Max Are Living in a Sprinter Van for a 2.5 Week Road Trip!

About this episode

Vic shares her spontaneous decision to live in a sprinter van for a road trip, exploring themes of freedom and self-discovery.

Vic is doing something wildly out of character… and that’s the point! In this life update, she shares why she and her husband, Max, are packing up and living in a sprinter van for a spontaneous three-week road trip across California. After a season of burnout, routine, and always chasing the next goal, Vic opens up about craving more freedom, curiosity, and space to figure out who she is becoming in this next chapter. She breaks down how the trip came together, how Max reacted to her out-of-the-blue idea, what van life will actually look like, and why this journey is about more than just the views. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overplanned, or disconnected from your sense of adventure, this episode might be the nudge you need. Tune in to hear why Vic is choosing spontaneity, simplicity, and the journey inward this season.
