Nowhere for Very Long: The Unexpected Road to an Unconventional Life
(eAudiobook)
In this beautifully written, vividly detailed memoir, a young woman chronicles her adventures traveling across the deserts of the American West in an orange van named Bertha and reflects on an unconventional approach to life. A woman defined by motion, Brianna Madia bought a beat-up bright orange van, filled it with her two dogs Bucket and Dagwood, and headed into the canyons of Utah with her husband. Nowhere for Very Long is her story of exploration-of the world outside and the spirit within. Brianna knew her road would be the one less traveled from an early age. Rejecting the competitive and capitalistic path set out before her, she chose to seek a different version of happiness, a road scary, uncertain, and entirely her own. But pursing a life of intention isn't always what it seems. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, and even desperate-when the van overheated and she was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of South Dakota highway, when the weather was bitterly cold and her water jugs froze beneath her as she slept in the parking lot of her office, when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future. But, she was living a life true to herself, come what may, and that made all the difference. Nowhere for Very Long isn't about extreme minimalism or tiny house living or #VanLife. It is the chronicle of a woman learning and unlearning, from backroads to breakdowns, married to solo, and finally, from lost to found.
