Road trips in Juicy Lucy with Brett Beardslee are my favorite and always instill a deep sense of freedom and peace and joy. I’m Jesse Junko Beardslee and I love van livin! I also love sustainable style and female empowerment and truth seeking and mostly post about that here but one of the (tiny air cooled) engines that moves those passions through me is travel. My husband and I do it different. We do it slow, we go to remote places, we dally, we’re horrible planners, we get lost, sometimes we break down, sometimes we get ourselves into trouble but we do it our way. Juicy Lucy is our best mechanical friend and she was born in 1958! She’s a part of the family and she’s in serious need of serious work. We’ll address it, hopefully we’ll find just the right guy and all the money he needs for the vital rust work, BUT we wanted to take her out on one last spin before the cool winds blow her into a garage. Tiny bouquets, tiny stoves, tiny closets, big hearts, big skies, big dreams. It’s the best. Music by a campfire, tracking our mileage, spreading out and packing up, it’s what my soul needs. There are many more pictures I took of our mini road trip but two of the coolest things you won’t see in any of them are the bio luminescence we saw blinking on the ground in the middle of the night - mirroring the stars above… And the adolescent black bear we paced, unaware, contently coexisting, oblivious to our gentle excited observation. 506 miles roundtrip. Life is magic. ✌🏽 ❤️ 🚐 . . . #vanlife #juicylucy #volkswagen #1958panelvan #splitwindow #camping #roadtrip #travel #adventure #iloveny #vanlivin #gimbledcookstove #campfire #rosendaleny #windsorny #hectorny #poughkeepsieny #peacelovevibes #wereabull #lovemachine #shagginwagen #volkslife #artcar #vivalajuicy #volkswagenrust #makeyourownmagic #universaltruth #artist #designer #dreamer https://www.instagram.com/p/CT18oVkrYOw/?utm_medium=tumblr
