Washington is the last place I called home before moving into my SUV full-time, and it was on these mountain trails and forest roads that I fell in love with living out of my vehicle and backpacking every other night until the rain or snow forced me south to warmer weather. Lately, I’ve been based around Mount Baker. Camping, hiking, and getting lost on mountain trails. If you’ve ever wondered what the Washington backcountry is like, here’s a glimpse into that world. Thanks for being here ♡

Hey :) I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road full-time since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. As a semi-minimalist, I eventually decided to donate/sell most of my belongings and move into my 4x4 Nissan Xterra. After 14 months of SUV living and falling madly in love with the open road - I bought a van and hired a team to build it out. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world on a whole new level, all while having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road 🚐
*My van is a 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 High Roof, 136" WB with 31K miles*
