Meet Boscha

Boscha belongs to Corey and Emily from Where’s My Office Now?  We connected with them through email thanks to GoWesty’s blog list, but were even more fortune to meet them in person while they were passing though on their way to Sedona.  Along for the ride and some VANtastic documenting was their friend John from Reel Groovy Films.  We met up in the evening and got to watch the first episode of the web series along with them... how cool!!!  We have been enjoying their adventures online, but to personally get to watch an episode with the team was such a memorable experience.

As a van owner it’s fun to see the little nuances of having a van… setting up the bed, having the produce holder sway during the drive, encouraging the van to make it up the hill, fixing the wires, putting away clothes in a shoebox sized closet, and something as simple as showing the condensation on the window.

You can jump in and watch any of their episodes, but it’s also fun to see older videos connect with newer material.  Those who follow their posts often will be able to make deeper connections, but it’s not necessary to have that background to have it make sense.  For example, when John is at the airport a comment is made about using the PA system to call him over.  Following this is an episode that further explains why there is a PA in the van; which is a neat story and involves cows. :)

The episodes are put together beautifully and flow between music, dialogue, interactions, and scenery.  Each one tells a story and I think that those who aren’t as comfortable with the idea of living and traveling around in a van can appreciate the footage of the destinations.  The images are so clear and vibrant during the episodes and so artistic and beautiful as well… surfing, spinning around, climbing a rock, capturing shadows, and the zooming in of wire.  The simplest actions and objects are some of the most stunning additions.

Those who have experienced this lifestyle or who want to will really appreciate the content being produced because it’s relatable, but everyone can feel as if they were on the journey too because this team really reaches out to people and brings them in.  So “Get in the Van” already and take the adventure alongside Where’s My Office Now?

We had a BLAST sharing stories with Corey, Emily, and John and know that the other people who meet them along the way will have just as good a time.  This is what it’s all about... Van Life!
