Finding Balance Between Work and Adventure: Lindsey’s Mount Hood Story

Share

When your ideal life exists somewhere between the office and the summit, you need more than a vehicle. You need a way to bridge both worlds.

For Lindsey, her 2024 Geotrek van has become exactly that: a mobile basecamp that lets her work remotely while staying close to the adventures that matter most.

From Long Drives to Living the Dream

Before finding her van, Lindsey spent hours behind the wheel just to reach trailheads. The long drives ate into her time outdoors, and every trip required careful planning around lodging and logistics.

Her Geotrek changed that equation entirely. Now she can park at Mount Hood, one of her favorite locations, and wake up ready to hit the trails. No more long commutes. No more checking out of hotels at dawn. Just the flexibility to be where she wants, when she wants.

20,000 Miles in One Year

Lindsey recently celebrated her one-year anniversary with the van, and the odometer tells the story: 20,000 miles of exploring, adventuring, and making the most of every season.

Her favorite trip so far? A 3,200-mile loop using the Indy Pass, hitting six different ski resorts while catching up with out-of-state friends along the way. It was the kind of trip that’s only possible when your home can move with you — and when work can happen from anywhere with a view.

Safety and Freedom on Solo Adventures

Traveling solo with her dog, Lindsey has found something invaluable in the van: peace of mind. Whether she’s parked at a remote trailhead or spending the night between destinations, the van gives her a sense of safety and security that makes solo travel feel less daunting.

That confidence has opened new possibilities: the freedom to chase powder days, explore new trails, and say yes to spontaneous weekend plans without overthinking the logistics.

 

Why Geotrek?

Lindsey spent months researching van builders before landing on Geotrek. The clean, open floor plan and ability to customize the layout made it an easy choice.

What stood out most to her was how thoughtfully the space was designed — simple, versatile, and easy to make her own. It gave her the flexibility to create a setup that works for both work and play, a space that feels like home but keeps her closer to the mountains.

Work-Life Balance, Redefined

“If I had my way, I’d be outside all of the time,” Lindsey says. “Unfortunately, we have to work to afford those luxuries, so this gives us the best combination of both.”

It’s a sentiment that captures what makes van life so appealing for remote workers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Geotrek doesn’t just make adventures more accessible, it makes them sustainable. You don’t have to choose between career and passion when you can bring both along for the ride.

Built for the Life You Want to Live

From Mount Hood to ski resorts across the West, Lindsey’s Geotrek has proven itself as more than just a camper van. It’s a tool for building the life she wants — one that doesn’t compromise on work, adventure, or the freedom to explore.

Whether you’re a remote professional, a weekend warrior, or someone who just wants to spend more time in the places that inspire you, Geotrek Vans are built for flexibility. Premium craftsmanship, thoughtful layouts, and all-season capability mean you can live and work on your own terms.
