How Do You Actually Move Abroad? (11 Ideas & Personal Experience)

When you visit France, sit on the dock in the town of Annecy and watch a pink and blue sunset like this one, and contemplate why all the flowery, pink French toilet paper has a matching motif. ©KettiWilhelm2019

Who knew how many layers go into a van?! Some peop Who knew how many layers go into a van?! Some people made sourdough in 2020; we made a road trip wagon.  We're getting close to DONE now, and as I rewatch these videos that my darling husband @theaviaoexperience made, and look back on all of the steps that went into this project, it's amazing to realize how many hours we spent and how much effort it all was... And how much free time we had for it in 2020.  Here’s hoping we’ll be able to actually USE it in 2021! And maybe be a little busier with travel and even… a social life? 😳
New recipe, fresh on the blog — Italian Pasta Wi New recipe, fresh on the blog — Italian Pasta With Broccoli! For your #veganuary needs, or just for learning to love veggies more.  The recipe is vegetarian, but can easily be vegan or, at its most meaty, you can add about a gram of fish. 🌾🐟  Because remember, you don't have to go 100% vegan 100% of the time to make a climate & environmental & health impact with your diet.  IT DOESN'T MATTER that you "could just never give up cheese." (I won't.)  Don't get hung up on it. I'm not a purist and I'll never believe you have to perfect to make a difference. Small improvements make waves. 🌊  👉👉 All versions of the recipe are easy + delicious, and all are at the link in my bio. Let me know if you try it!  Otherwise, feel free to argue with me about veganism & that one anchovy in the recipe. 😂
Van Part 7 - Flooring! Damn, it's hard to make thi Van Part 7 - Flooring! Damn, it's hard to make this sexy. 😂  As you can tell from the video, it was a pretty slow, tedious, precision type of job. (Which, frankly, my nerd heart loves. ❤)  But that doesn’t explain why I’m acting like an insane person who hasn’t slept. It’s not drugs. It was the Saturday after election day, and I was feeling all those hope-y, change-y feelings. Anyone else remember that?  I still believe in it. The best is yet to come. And someday I’ll be able to get a haircut, too. 💇 ✌
Continuing the van building distraction: Part 6, T Continuing the van building distraction: Part 6, The Wood Ceiling! 🌲  Made from leftover Blue Pine boards piled in my dad's shop, stained by yours truly, and painstakingly wedged into place on an uneven, curved ceiling.  Definitely a square peg / round hole kind of job, but it makes this old Chevy feel like a cabin in the woods! 💚
My mind has been far away from our van project lat My mind has been far away from our van project lately, so I'm a few steps behind in sharing this story. But here we go – Part 5: climbing around on top of a car like a '50s pin-up model, but with more '90s grunge vibes. 🔧 💃  🎬 Video of course by @theaviaoexperience
