We're most of the way done building a DIY camper van on a 2018 Ford Transit 148WB high roof body.


== A B O U T U S ==
Hi! We're Jeff & Patti & Mrs. McCormick, a husband, wife and 19-yr old cat traveling trio exploring in our DIY Ford Transit Camper Van. We're traveling mostly full-time now that we're officially retired. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and on March 1st of 2020, we took the leap and started that life! By March 17th we made a harrowing escape out of lockdown in Peru (see our video recounting this experience), and the one-way ticket dream came to a screeching halt. But we managed to keep to ourselves and stay on the road while visiting mostly empty national parks. Today we're balancing van building work, Elliptigo riding, hiking, and fun everywhere we can. From hiking and cycling to photo taking and video making, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! We're ready to move into our DIY Transit van 1/3 of the year, and our travels will take us all around the world another 1/3 of the year living the Airbnb lifestyle, and we will maintain a physical residence in a loft over a garage behind our 1876 storefront commercial property - at least for a while. You could say we already live in a van down by the river, literally.

We also set an intention to ride our Elliptigo bikes in all 50 states in pursuit of a 100-mile ride in each. So far we have completed nine states.
