Andrew Singer Bio:
Andrew Singer is an author, minimalist, and full-time nomad. Originally from Houston, Andrew shares his passion for travel, addiction recovery, and mental health awareness through his writing, which swings from hilarious to heartfelt. A lover of nature, adventure, and the open road, Andrew spends most of the year living out of a self-built campervan, exploring public lands and engaging with the interesting people he meets along the way. When he is not living in a van (which is somehow still holding up), he can be found backpacking abroad, immersed in other cultures, and dancing until sunrise. He is married to fellow vagabond and the author of She Journeys, Sarah May. Now Is the Time is his debut travel memoir.
Now Is the Time: A Van Life Road Trip
Description:
Lovestruck and newly unemployed, Andrew Singer cashes in his savings to investigate a key question: Is #vanlife as awesome as it looks? After all, what could go wrong when two millennials—who have never used a saw before—attempt to convert a plumber’s van into a tiny home-on-wheels?
On this 13,000-mile road trip across the vast American West, Andrew and his partner Sarah battle pest infestations, escape wildfires, and have a portable toilet test every relationship boundary imaginable. Meanwhile, exploring national parks and run-ins with colorful characters make for a transformative journey. Yet, to live the life he’s always dreamed of, Andrew needs to shed more than his belongings—he has to unpack the baggage of a complicated past.
Buckle up for this hilarious and inspirational travel memoir that takes us inside the soul of a man who finds love and home through minimalism and healing. Featuring America’s most stunning natural marvels, Now Is the Time reminds us to stop scrolling and start living.
Sarah May Bio:
Sarah May is a yoga instructor, Reiki healer, and intuitive. She provides her clients with powerful practices and healing insights from the studio to private sessions, retreats, and women’s circles. Sarah received her Master of Science in Conflict Analysis and Resolution and previously managed a non-profit. She Journeys is her debut memoir. In 2020, she and her husband—fellow author Andrew Singer—converted a cargo van and hit the road. They spend their time exploring and writing across America’s public lands. When not on wheels, Houston and San Diego are home base.
She Journeys: A Memoir of Heartbreak and Homecoming
Description:
Few things can shatter our hearts like expectations. Sarah expected to live happily ever after. She expected her husband to honor his vows. She expected his military helicopter to land safely. But when the unimaginable occurred and her world unraveled so magnificently, the undoing of her expectations left her on her knees, fighting for her life. When everything we “expect” crumbles like ash after a fire, how do we reconcile what was lost?
One courageous step at a time.
Sarah packed her car, then set out to hike and camp across the country. But pain, codependence, and trauma challenged her as she moved forward. From a sailboat to a yoga studio, a therapist’s couch to a shaman’s ceremony, from selling everything and moving into a van—on the ashes of her former expectations, Sarah rebuilt, from the inside out.
She Journeys is a testament to the transformative power of healing. From darkness to light, from a marriage ended to a life reclaimed, we are reminded that it never matters how we begin. Only that we do. From wounds to wisdom, She is every woman who must find her way from heartbreak to homecoming.
