Every story in this edition of ROVA shares some insight into the lives of adventurers—why they hit the road, what they find, who they meet, and the lessons they learn.

Regular contributors Erin McGrady and Caroline Whatley share the story of their brief but passionate relationship with a vintage camper; Rachel Hirsch embarks on her first ever cross-country road trip to shake herself out of an overly structured life; Brian Collins-Friedrichs stumbles upon the best-kept secret in camping—the private camping club; and we talk to some avid snow bunnies about camper life in the coldest parts of the country.

Also in this issue, learn about trying to find romance as a single van lifer; come face to face with a moose in Grand Teton National Park; find the silver lining in a cloud of bugs in Canada; and take a trip on the northeast coast that caters to a dog’s sense of adventure.
