There is a massive difference between traveling to escape your life and traveling to find out who you are when your old identity is gone. When you hit the highway as a young twenty-something, the road is about the future and endless possibilities. But when you take to the pavement as a “graybeard” with decades of history, court battles, and memories riding shotgun, the open road becomes a brutal, beautiful mirror. If you have ever wondered what it takes to completely reinvent yourself when society expects you to fade into the background, the view from the driver’s seat of a vintage camper van might surprise you.
