Winter in Canada can be really cold. Getting stuck in the snow is no fun. But having a cozy nap mobile can help.

Tiny silver cabin on wheels. I've been learning online, working, saving, and hustling towards that day I can set sail away from my full time job and work remotely. For now having a minivan camper takes the edge off the daily grind.

Great sleeping weather this evening. A bit cool but not freezing. It's just right.

So glad I added shore power to my van build. It was actually very easy to add. Basically a conduit or fancy connection from a power cord.

Winding down and watching The Mandalorian. I can easily go through GBs of data services in a few days. Just glad WIFI is free in most coffee shops. I'm in Canada a looking to travel from East to West one day. Any suggestions for internet on the go that doesn't kill my wallet?

Today I planned out all the things I wanted to accomplish this year. It's a big list. One of the items is finishing my van build this spring.

Anyone see anything unusual in the coffee pic? I'm on break and I escaped to my van. Poured myself a coffee and I saw this. 2021 here we go!
