I Live In My Truck With My Dog And Travel Across The Country
After realizing that I could work from almost anywhere, I decided to move into my truck with my dog and drive to Alaska. I look for dispersed (FREE) campsites in National Forests, go on long solo hikes, and explore the world around me. It’s not the most convenient way to live, but it’s certainly beautiful.
I’ve only made it to Wyoming. The country is so incredible, people are so friendly, and some places are just hard to leave. Beauty is everywhere if you know how to look. Sometimes you don’t have to look hard. I’m learning that the more you see, the more you realize, there is more to see.
All photos taken with iPhone.

What a fabulous adventure with the best travelling companion ever! I just subscribed to your blog.... I can't wait to see where we go :)
Superb photography! and with an I-Phone, yet. You have an eye and a talent that are wonderful. You could probably make a living on calendars and post cards. Thank you! I appreciate your posting to Bored Panda and sharing the beauty with all of us.
You live a beautiful life. I envy you! I wish I could have that big and brave heart like yours. Enjoy every moment!
These are your "rocking chair days." Those are the days you will remember when you are old and rocking on the porch. You will relieve one of those days, one of those moments of awe and peace, and your face will light up with a smile.
That's great. "Rocking Chair Days", I like that. I was just writing a post along those same lines...I think I might use that in there. :) Thanks so much.

Such an awesome thing to do !! But when it comes to safety you can actually not risk yourself.. I have booked rooms with HeyBnB and they always got the best accommodations.. visit http://www.heybnbworld.com/ for more such accommodations..
I Love your life, for me, how you live is more than enough for a complete and fully happy life, maybe one day i will have the courage to make the same as you. thanks for sharing... Good luck from mexico

I like that so many of the images are from Mr. Dog's viewpoint. I hope he accepts some of the driving responsibilities.
Beautiful photography. You'll find Alaska just as awesome, if not more so. Good luck.

Many jobs can be done from anywhere. I remember talking with my cable repair guy. He told me he just wanted to make a million dollars as fast as he could. When I asked him what he would do with that million dollars he replied that his passion was to go surfing every single day. A great little surfing city was about two hours away from where we were having this conversation. I asked him if he couldn't just get a transfer to that town with the same cable company he works for right now? The lightbulb went on. Sometimes it is just a matter of creatively weeding out what you really don't need/want in your life in order to get what it is you really do want.

Thanks, now I make up my mind that I don't need to buy some fancy camera, because it was me who don't have any skill or sense to take a good pic not my camera. Beautiful pics btw!
Thanks so much. It's amazing what a phone camera can do :)
