Program Description

Event Details

Most travel slideshows capture a single adventure. This one captures a lifestyle.  Anna and Dustin Farrenkopf converted a Transit van and lived on the road for nearly three years. In this presentation, they’ll share the highs, the hiccups, and the hard-earned lessons of van life.   

Whether you’re dreaming of nomadic living, planning a short-term rental adventure, considering a DIY build, or simply looking for some adventure tales, this slideshow has something for you
