Solo Van Life DOCUMENTARY: Road Trip in a Converted Minivan

From May 2021 to October 2022, I was on a mission to go on an outdoor adventure and drink a local beer in each state, while living in my converted minivan. Now that I have completed the Lower 48, I'd love to tell you how it started, a highlight or two from each state (good OR bad!), and what I learned about this lifestyle, nature, myself, and my country.

What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I'm Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!

Looking for more? I have videos on pretty much everything I talked about in this!
