Hi, I’m Angela—dog mama, bus dweller, and believer in taking the scenic route.
In 2023, I was diagnosed with stage four cancer. That moment flipped everything upside down—but it also brought my priorities into sharp focus. I realized that life wasn’t something I wanted to wait for or plan around anymore. I wanted to live it. Fully, honestly, and on my own terms.
So I made a choice: to trade in the noise for the open road. With my two pups by my side, I moved into a converted school bus and set out to explore all the hidden gems this country has to offer.
This blog is where I share my detours—some planned, some unexpected. You’ll find reflections, road stories, a little humor (yes, even about llamas), and a lot of heart.
Thanks for being here. I hope you find something in these posts that makes you pause, breathe deep, and maybe even chase a detour of your own.
