Overview

• Sara Dungo has lived in a self-converted van since 2019, investing over a year and $10,000 to transform it into a mobile home.
• She shares this minimalist lifestyle with her three pets: Chi Chi, a Calico cat; Chester, a black tomcat; and Max, a puppy.
• Using positive reinforcement and routines, she acclimated her animals to van life, ensuring their safety and comfort on the road.
• Over time, she transitioned from frequent travel to a 'slow travel' approach, staying longer in rural areas to connect with nature and experience seasonal rhythms.
• Dungo avoids urban centers, prioritizing rural locations to provide a safe, pet-friendly environment and embrace a simpler, more deliberate way of living.
