Guest Post: Car Life

Since I started my guest post series on those living small, I have always wanted to find someone who could tap into a lifestyle that everyone can relate to: Car Life. Most of us own one, yet when we go on road trips, we don't always use our vehicles to their fullest potential.

In June 2015, Kate left New York City and traveled 20,000 miles in five months. She spent most of her nights sleeping in a tent or in the car's reclined seats, taking in the sounds of nature around her.

Kate's car acted as her tiny home, but also her adventure mobile. It gives us a comfort knowing we don't necessarily have to go out and buy a van or camper to live on the road.

Music to Fuel your Road Trip Soul

Music can sometimes make or break a road trip. It's almost as crucial as having a good road trip partner.

The first few moments in the car can be some of the best. But you may also have thoughts like:

  • 'We're really doing this thing, huh?'
  • 'I can't believe we fit everything into this car.'
  • 'Are we there, yet?'
  • 'These are the only snacks you brought?'

Nevertheless, you're still pretty jazzed because you're done with the work week and all you have ahead of you is open road and some sort of adventure. Who even cares what that adventure is because you're there and you're doing it and that's all that matters.

We've got the perfect playlist of songs—some classics, some current and maybe some you've never heard before. Give it a listen and add your own favorites to the mix.

Buckle up and let's jam.
