One Month
Today officially marks one month of van living. At some point last week, I felt like I really rounded a corner. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but sometime between when I was lost in the middle of a cow field (like literally in a farmer’s field fenced in amongst the cows) in WestContinue reading “One Month”
Leaf Peeper
Growing up in New England, I was spoiled by fall foliage. It wasn’t anything special to me. The summer came to a close, school started, the air got cooler, the leaves changed color. It just happened and young Annie thought nothing of it. It wasn’t until I went to highschool in the Pioneer Valley ofContinue reading “Leaf Peeper”
Day by Day
Today marks my first official week of living in the van. And, what a week it has been. I must admit the first few days were kind of cheating. I was with friends in two of my favorite places.

They were often at loggerheads over who chopped more wood. So one day, they decided to hold a competitionContinue reading “Phase 3: The Grind”
Shoebox
This Fall, for the first time since I can remember I won’t be going back to school. And, for the first time in eight years I won’t be moving into a dorm room. One of my favorite parts about going back to school has always been decorating my room. I loved creating a little oasisContinue reading “Shoebox”
