Buckle up and join husband-wife duo Andrew Singer and Sarah May at The Bookworm of Edwards on Thursday for an unfiltered conversation about what van life is really like and tour their tiny home-on-wheels. From America\u2019s glorious public lands to Walmart parking lots, and boundless freedom to uproarious mishaps, expect an intimate, behind-the-scenes conversation that intertwines the love of the road, the written word, and the power of following your dreams.<\/p>\n
Van tours and book signings are available before and after the event, which starts at 5 p.m., with the author talk set for 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
Van life has been a part of Singer and May\u2019s relationship since the very beginning.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn our first date, Sarah asked me if I saw myself staying in San Diego long term,\u201d Singer remembered. \u201cMy response was, \u2018I love it here, but I\u2019d much rather put my money towards a campervan than a house.\u2019 Turns out van life was on Sarah\u2019s vision board. While we have both been avid lovers of the road, living out of vehicles before, it wasn\u2019t until the pandemic\u2019s rug pull when we both found ourselves unemployed and took the leap to buy a van. With no construction experience, we built it out ourselves, watching YouTube videos and reading blogs, somehow, five years in, it\u2019s still holding up and we still love van life.\u201d<\/p>\n
After five years of travelling the country together in a small campervan, Singer and May have found a love for the freedom of nomadic life. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn choosing experiences over things, we\u2019ve not only gotten the most beautiful backyards in our country, we\u2019ve been gifted the space to create,\u201d Singer said. \u201cWriting our books while camped out in our public lands was truly a bucket list life experience for both of us. The ability to wake up and go anywhere is a gift we both try not to take for granted, but using that freedom to complete these projects has brought a sense of fulfillment that general tourism wouldn\u2019t have.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was through this freedom to write and life on the road that both Singer and May were able to write their newly released books. <\/p>\n
\u201cVan life has been healing in terms of connection to nature, time and space to write my book, and experiencing personal freedom, adventure, and love for life,\u201d May said. \u201cTrauma can feel incredibly disempowering, so having experiences that empower me have helped me heal and see what I\u2019m capable of. But one of the biggest factors of healing on the road is who I\u2019ve shared the journey with. Andrew has encouraged my writing from the very beginning and our relationship has provided a safe, supportive space of deep healing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWriting a book is the creative equivalent of doing an Ironman,\u201d Singer said. \u201cIt\u2019s taken over four years of writing and editing, and now we\u2019re realizing just how much goes into the promotional aspect of it. Plus, doing this as a couple provides the space to marvel at each other\u2019s work. Getting vulnerable in memoir isn\u2019t for the faint of heart, and I know we both carry a lot of pride for the stories we\u2019ve chosen to share.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, their life on wheels hasn\u2019t been without some challenges. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhile my book chronicles a few debacles \u2014 a flea infestation, escaping a wildfire, portable toilet mishaps \u2014 our biggest struggle with nomadic living has actually been community, or the absence of it,\u201d Singer said. \u201cIn our stationary lives, we were both really socially involved, with many dedicated friendships. Losing the proximity and in-person component was a challenge and has taken us a few years to figure out how to properly supplement something so crucial to living a full life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Singer and May hope that readers of their books feel a connection and companionship. <\/p>\n
\u201cI hope \u2018She Journeys\u2019 resonates with women who have experienced significant loss and have had to rebuild from the inside out,\u201d May said. \u201cI hope there is something in my journey for their journey and that it inspires deeper healing, authenticity, and freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMore than anything, I hope this book is a worthy travel companion,\u201d Singer said. \u201cWhether you read it from a plush recliner in a six-figure RV, or nestled in your tiny tent, that you feel inspired to keep exploring within and about; that the road too transforms you for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Singer and Sarah May will speak about life on the road and their new books on Thursday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[288,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-65754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-books","tag-books","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
