A new kind of van life: $180 to camp for seven months  and a real taste of freedom
"Derek Hansler, known as D Rock, travels 3,300 miles to the southwest after spending summers in New Hampshire with family, volunteering in communities he revisits each year."
"Stephanie Scruggs and Gustavo Costo, after three years on the road, decided to move in together, trading their two vans for a half-finished bus named Magpie."
"Theresa Webster makes a final pass through the Oregon campground where she volunteers each year, marking the end of her seasonal migration."
Every autumn, a human migration occurs across North America, involving nomads, snowbirds, and van dwellers. This migration is motivated by the search for warmth, freedom, and community. Individuals like Derek Hansler, a chef, travel to visit family and volunteer in communities. Others, such as Stephanie Scruggs and Gustavo Costo, adapt their nomadic lifestyle by moving into a bus together. The migration is not just seasonal for many; it has become an economic necessity, reflecting changing lifestyles and priorities.
