For many of us when we get out of relationships we end up sitting around and moping, but for Sydney Ferbarche that’s exactly what she didn’t do. After she dumped her boyfriend, the 24-year-old decided to travel all over America. Ferbarche quit her 3 jobs and now works full-time on the road with her laptop.

Ferbarche is originally from Indianapolis, Indiana and her mission is to show women that they can travel on the road by themselves or in her case with a cute companion animal.

This morning we went for a long walk through the neighborhood I grew up in. We walked down the court where I played kick ball with all the other kids, showed Ella the trailhead that leads to my secret hideout, and passed the park where I kissed my first love. My whole life I was so desperate to leave this place. I wanted to escape so badly and would dream of all the places I’d get to explore some day. But it’s funny now that I get to do exactly what I always dreamed of, I drive thousands of miles across the country to get back here. To see the place I deemed mundane and boring. To type this from the kitchen table where I ate breakfast every day before school and had to endure way too many “family talks”. Traveling for me is exciting, intoxicating, and constantly teaches me new things that I would probably never learn otherwise. But being home is familiar, comforting, and re-teaches me all the things I’ve already known but forgot somewhere along the way. – So many of us are desperate to escape. To get out there and leave it all behind. But I wish I would’ve seen this place for what it was all along. Don’t be like me and wait until you return to find the magic where you are now. There’s a kind of beauty in the boring that you won’t find in the excitement.

The van lifestyle wasn’t a spur of the moment thing for Febarche, she worked three jobs for two months to save up enough money to buy a van. Along the way, she got an adorable Golden Retriever, Ella, and the two have kept busy, traveling to over 20 states!

“I’ve never woken up once in the last year and not felt like this isn’t exactly what I should be doing. I don’t foresee anywhere in the near future where I want to stop, but I also don’t want to hold myself to this idea that I have to be on the road,” she told Insider.

I know I don’t post as often as I probably should. The truth is that it’s easy for me to get caught up on here for hours on the days I post. I try to answer every question and I always read each comment. I go through my messages and end up staring at my screen for way too long. So please, please don’t worry about me when I’m not posting. Everything is okay. Actually if I’ve been gone awhile, it’s probably because everything is more than okay. I love sharing with you, and the connections that I make in this space are more than I ever imagined. But I love sharing special moments with this girl even more. No camera. No validation. Just the two of us running around somewhere and enjoying every minute of it. – I’m so grateful for each one of you who chooses to follow along with us. Please don’t ever doubt that. I just like taking time to get lost and then finding my way back here.
