Ellie Hamilton is obsessed with two questions: First, does van life feel as glamorous as it looks on the internet? And second, what would it be like to live in Alaska?
25-years-old, recently divorced, and now in the first year of her second marriage, Ellie decides that she's brave enough to seek the answers to these questions for herself. So, she packs up her Jeep (a Jeep is a little bit like a van!) and her new husband to leave behind the sprawl of southern suburbia. The plan? To be nomadic for a summer, winding their way toward a new life in Alaska.
Dealing with mental health challenges, healing from heartbreak while navigating a new love, and facing the financial reality of having taken such a big risk—this is Ellie's honest, daily account of her life on the road.
What happens when you upend life as you know it to go in search of that elusive new life? Is it possible to completely start over or is it true what they say: wherever you go, there you are?
