Garret stopped by Yosemite Falls, which is the tallest waterfall in North America at 2,425 feet. Also hiked around Mirror Lake, which only has water in the spring and early summer, but the views are still worth it.
In June 2024, Garret sold everything he owned and set off to live full-time on the road in his Storyteller van. It’s a converted Sprinter built for functionality and off-grid living — fully ready for whatever adventures come his way. He loves hiking, exploring the outdoors, and discovering new places, and my goal is to show you what his van-life journey is really like. No cleaning up for the camera — what you see from Garret is the real deal, with all the mess and all the awesomeness that come with life on the road.
