Help Us Hit the Road: Support Our Journey Toward Van Life 🛻🌎

Hey everyone,

We’re Hunter and Brittany, and we’re on a mission to simplify our lives, explore the beauty of the world around us, and eventually call the open road our home.

Over the past few months, we’ve been planning, downsizing, and dreaming big. Our ultimate goal? To build out a van and live full-time on the road, documenting every step of our journey on this blog, Traveling Willoughby’s. We'll be sharing everything from the highs and lows of van life to the incredible people and places we meet along the way.

But we can’t do it alone.

We’ve started a GoFundMe to help us get the essentials we need to get started—like a reliable van, basic build-out materials, and gear for remote living and content creation. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us move one step closer to freedom, adventure, and sharing stories from all over the country.

If you’ve ever dreamed of breaking free from the 9-to-5, chasing sunsets, or living life on your own terms—this journey is for you, too. We want to bring you along for every mile.

We truly appreciate every share, every word of encouragement, and every dollar you can spare. Thank you for believing in us.

Let’s make this dream happen—together.

With love and gratitude,
Hunter & Brittany
Traveling Willoughby’s
