Joyful Rambler
I'm Joey and I vlog about backpacking, vanlife, and blazing your own path. Up for an adventure? Join me!
I reinvented myself later in life, embracing all the things I thought I could never do. From thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail to living in a camper van I converted myself, and now...renovating a '60s era home, I love a good challenge and sharing the fun (and pitfalls) with viewers like you.
