In autumn 2020, filmmaker Nick Neumann and his companion Thais from Brazil, embarked on an unforgettable roadtrip across the United States in their trusty van. During the five month journey from California to Florida and back, as the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election converged, they encountered people from all walks of life eager to share their stories and perspectives on a changing America. As the miles rolled on, the cultural and political divides between urban and rural America became more pronounced. The cities were changing, while the countryside offered a slower, more rooted existence. Yet, amidst these differences, the travelers' focus on human connections revealed common threads that unite us all. In this book you'll find not just a travelogue filled with stories, photos and maps, but a guide to embracing curiosity and exploring places off the beaten path, beyond the typical #vanlife photo ops. With useful tips and insights from their van dwelling experience, this book will inspire you to hit the open road and discover the incredible beauty and variety of America's landscapes, cultures, and people. Join them on this extraordinary journey and let it ignite your spirit of adventure.
