Welcome to Travels With Clarity
We're Matt and Kristina, and we're sharing our van life adventures in our DIY customized 2022 Mercedes Sprinter van that Matt built for us.
Our van, Clarity II, has all the comforts of home, allowing us to travel, film, and work from the road for extended periods or indefinitely if we choose. We craft our videos while on the road, blending beautiful natural visuals with personal storytelling and adventures.
If you desire a moment to disconnect from the craziness of the world and focus your attention on the magic and beauty, you've come to the right place.
Thanks for joining us on our journey as we explore this beautiful world together.
XO Matt & Kristina

Springtime in Utah
With unexpected 70-degree weather in Moab, we’re exploring Canyonlands National Park's Island in the Sky and Dead Horse Point SP. The National Park is home to Mesa Arch, Shafer Viewpoint, and a view of the White Rim from Buck Canyon Overlook. Getting to Mesa Arch is an easy hike, and getting a fantastic photograph does not require risking life and limb. All of these viewpoints are accessible from the overlook pullouts and parking lots. Join us on the springtime photography adventure as we explore the beautiful views around the Moab area.

A Fight That Shook Us
to Our Core
Living in an 80-square-foot van is like living in a pressure cooker—and for us, the pressure finally reached a breaking point.
Most people only show the highlights of life on the road, but we want to be transparent about the reality. Today, we're sharing a raw look at a blowout that shook our relationship to its core during our time on the Oregon Coast.
It started with something trivial, but it revealed deep challenges of co-creating and living in a tiny space. Van life isn't always beautiful sunsets and perfect views.
In this video, we're peeling back the curtain on a difficult chapter from our travels—a "blowout" fight on the Oregon Coast that challenged us more than almost anything else in our journey.
We’re sharing our personal process of navigating conflict in our 80-square-foot van, the building pressure of constant travel, and how we eventually found our way back to each other through the healing power of photography and the majesty of the Pacific Northwest.

Hidden Gems & Remote Vistas
We set out in Clarity II to explore the remote locations and hidden gems that we couldn’t get to in 2021 in our Ram ProMaster Van.
This trip, we’re accessing places that require 4x4 and high clearance.
Join us on this journey as we explore remote beaches, exquisite sunrises, sunsets, and many surprises in between.

Docking Station
We've completed transforming our garage into a docking station for our Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 camper van.
We'll give you the tour of how we organized the space to create an open and spacious workshop, as well as how it can function as a home base during extended travel, should we need to return for any reason - even if we have a house sitter or renter residing in our off-grid home.
