Wings and Wheels Alaska's video: Broken Van Life Alaska

Broken. Interpreting metaphors as facts is a dangerous game. We are burnt out and broken and today we show you what it takes to push through when everything and anything seems to go wrong with vanlife in Alaska. It's Spring, which means our brains have been in a dark hibernation and when we begin to see the light again, Alaskans start to go a little crazy. I have a friend who told me writers block isn't real, but I've been struggling to create, so I will keep pushing forward and keep creating, even when I don't feel creative. All these world events on our mind like pandemics and Ukraine, inflation and gas prices, we haven't been putting on many miles. Our 4x4 Sprinter started having problems with the breaking system after days of freezing rain and storms. We don't want to highlight negativity, just show you it exists. We are blessed because we have each other and a strong support system, but creativity gets blocked when our brains get tired and our lives begin to break down. We keep pushing forward to bigger and better things in our lives, and we've been excited to tell you, we're waiting to break through these blues and return to exploring and pushing ourselves on to our next adventure. Winter in Alaska, hasn't been easy, but we have great things to look forward to this summer! Meeting up with all of you, and considering the solitude of full-time cabin life without Youtube.
