Hello there fellow vanlifers!

[myamericandreamtour]

My name is Dylan and i'm new here! I bought my van earlier this year and will be living in it full time coming this January. I took a year off from work (or longer) to travel the states, and started a blog and instagram account showing my progress and preparation for the upcoming trip. Follow a long if you would like! I hope to chat, meet, and learn from as many of you as I can!&nbsp;<br><br>www.thessimplelife.tumblr.com<br><br>@myamericandreamtour<br><br>Dylan.

Wagoneer, im in Dallas. The plan is to head south to Big Bend National Park, then west from there. No real plans, just go where the wind takes me. The_Vantasy, sounds amazing! I also plan to see as many National Parks as possible.&nbsp;
