ABOUT ME
Hi I'm Loui! I am an adventurer at heart who loves to share every step of the way. My travels so far ,via camper van, jeep camper, and foot, have taken me all over North America. I started this channel in 2019 in hopes of inspiring other people like me who didn't exactly grow up living an adventurous lifestyle and who might be afraid to get started on their own adventures. Since then, it has turned into something that I very passionate about. So, stick around to see the journey unfold!

New Englander here, we were in that storm on the way to Palisades, main road was closed so we had a 3 hour drive on alternate road. Then a semi flipped and we stood still for 3 hours in 100 mile an hour winds. Glad we had a full tank. We made it to our chalet at 6:30am, chilled for a while then went skiing. The rest of the week was a blast with an exciting experience behind up. On the way to the back airport 6 days later we toured Lake Tahoe, so beautiful.

When I dumped it I did it at dump stations for a quarter of the price!😁 I'm going to build me a new Ford E to retire and travel in. I'm gonna do what Simon did and put in a wood stove. A fridge and solar panels and go that way. Im 69. Don't know how long I've got so I'm gonna travel!!!!! I enjoy your channel.
