Rachel and James left their life and jobs behind in San Diego almost three years ago to give life on the road a try.
They soon fell in love with the lifestyle and decided to make their Volkswagen bus — Sunshine — their permanent home.
The couple carries everything they own in the van; they have nothing in storage, and they like it that way.
"I think that there's an extreme freedom in having nothing to lose," Rachel said in an interview published on the "When the Road is Home" project by Daniel Volland and Ben Schuyler.
They document their journey on their Instagram account (@idletheorybus) and on their website.
Their photos might just inspire you to hop in the car and take a road trip of your own.
