Every so often, we hit a wall and need to reset. Things feel stagnant, or too routine, or not in alignment with our values any longer. Maybe we stayed still too long, or maybe we got off track. But resets just need to happen sometimes. And Lianna Lee knew she needed one this summer, which is why she quit her job, changed her apartment, and hit the road for a month all at the same time. Without a back-up plan or a financial safety net. Some might call is scary. Others might call it irresponsible. But for Lianna-- and probably for you at some point, too-- it was completely necessary.
Come see us in Taos at our first Women On The Road Gathering with Vanlife Diaries!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How Lianna made her month-long road trip work
What she would do differently if she were to do the trip again
The freedom of social pressures while traveling on the road,
especially physical appearance

something new
The logistical challenges Lianna encountered as she prepared for this
big life reset
What it means to Lianna to be a Chinese American adoptee, especially
in the outdoors
How Lianna’s experience as an adoptee and a person of color shows up
in the outdoors as well as on the road
