What happens
when you
stop waiting?

A little more curiosity. A little more adventure.
A next chapter I get to figure out as I go.

THE NEXT CHAPTERStill unfolding

A little more room for adventure.A little more “why not?”Here’s where I’m starting

01 / My Story

I didn’t have it all figured out.

At 53, I found myself wondering what the heck came next.

I had left a man I still loved, because sometimes love, by itself, isn't enough.

For as long as I can remember, before I made a decision, I thought about everyone else. How would it affect them? Would they be okay? What would they think?

Somewhere along the way, I stopped asking myself one simple question: What do I want?

My first instinct was to sell everything, buy a van, and hit the road. Maybe I still will.

But I realized I didn't have to figure out the rest of my life all at once. It wasn't really about buying a van. It was about changing how I was living.

So I'm starting now.

Miles to Me is about exploring places I've never been, doing things that scare me a little, meeting people I never would have met, and finding out what happens when I stop waiting and start living.

I don't have it all figured out.

That's kind of the point.

02 / A starting point

What’s Happening Now

As I started looking around, I realized how many things I had collected that I no longer used, needed or enjoyed. They were taking up space, and some of them were taking up energy too.

So I had an idea: What if I could turn the things that no longer bring me joy into something that does?

My current goal is to trade my way toward a camper van or a small Class C motorhome. I want to experience this lifestyle in smaller chapters, whether that means a month somewhere beautiful, a road trip in a camper van, or whatever opportunity comes next.

If something unexpected comes along that creates more adventure, freedom or a new experience, I’m open to seeing where it leads.

This is not about running away from my life. It is about building a life that has more room for adventure.

03 / One trade at a time

Current Trades

A few things ready for their next chapter.
Let’s see where they take us.

Trades don’t have to be one-for-one.

Two of yours for one of mine? Two of mine for one of yours? Something completely different? Creative trades are welcome. Make an offer and let’s see where it leads.

Not local? Don’t let that stop you. If an item can reasonably be shipped, I’m open to trades from farther away too. If the trade makes sense, we’ll figure out how to get the items where they need to go.

Needs a little work? Don’t count it out.
If you have something you think could make an interesting trade but it needs repairs, maintenance, mechanical work or a little bringing back to life, I may still be interested. Tell me what you’ve got and what you know about it.

04 / Something to work toward

The Goal

Nothing fancy. Used, well-loved, road-ready and capable of taking me toward the next adventure.

An older camper van or a small Class C motorhome, around 22–24 feet. A little space to try life on the road, one chapter at a time.

Goal inspiration: an older small Class C motorhome and an older camper van, showing the modest size and style I have in mind — A sense of the size and style — these aren’t specific vehicles I’m trying to obtain.

05 / There’s room for you, too
