Synopsis:
Get inspired and come along on the adventure of a lifetime. Learn what it takes to step outside of your comfort zone in order to live a life fueled by passion. Join a 22-year-old professional mountain bike racer and his girlfriend as they enter into the world of entrepreneurship in order to keep their dreams and passions alive while they transition from "college life" into the real world. Following their hearts, these two dreamers set out to chase the largest professional mountain bike series in North America during the summer of 2014. The epic journey has them living out of a used van for 90 days as they drive over 15,000 miles on an almost inexistent budget. All the while, they struggle to run several business and philanthropic endeavors from their rolling office in order to fulfill the vision they see for their lives. This book illustrates the devastating heartbreak of defeat and the heavenly thrill of triumph only available to those who dedicate their lives to a purpose greater than themselves. Let these young adventurers motivate you as they lay it all on the line to prove, firsthand, what VanLife is all about.
"Project VanLife isn't just a book; it's an entire movement we have launched to help young people and anyone else with a dream challenge life to achieve it. We're advocating taking life's rocky unconventional path, before a career binds you to the grind, to do what you have always wanted to," explains DeRuisé, Founder of Reno-Tahoe Junior Cycling. "The norm will tell you it's time to select a career, put your suit on for forty hours a week and pay the bills. We're instead helping you get out there and actually live life."
Continuing, "Entrepreneurship, creativity and bone-crunching hard work prove that you can not only survive off your dreams, but you can thrive off them. Sierra and I achieved the seemingly impossible on no budget and with no plan. We literally started with a passion and a tank of gas. Follow in our footsteps; you'll feel more alive than you could have ever imagined."

These 2 have such a great story to tell, from epic mountain bike races, narrowly escaping tornadoes on the road to raccoon's stealing shoes, their summer adventure will inspire you to get out there and do something that matters to you!"
Another adds, "Can I just say how much I loved this book? It was very inspiring to me that we have young people in todays world that have so much going for them. I would recommend this book to any age, and especially people in the 18-30 year range. I love a positive, can do outlook."
