This Married Couple Revamped a Van, Hit the Road, and Is Traveling Across America

One magical yet surprising occurrence? When bad things happen in the van, we subconsciously take turns being the strong one. Unlucky things just happen in a mobile home: you blow a tire, accidentally light a small kitchen fire (what), take a wrong turn, or finally reach your destination that doesn't appear to have anywhere to sleep. After something like this happens, one of us will inevitably take it pretty hard and immediately upon realizing this, the other will pick up the positivity slack. It's easy to get bummed when things don't work out but the best part of adventuring with your partner is, well, just that. We know that we're on a once-in-a-lifetime journey together, and we're there to remind each other of that.
