A part of Van Life is just being free. When you pair this with a passion for travel you can find yourself in some beautiful places.\xa0\n\nToday we welcome Lynn to the show, who has a fantastic blog. She is a professional ski instructor. Lynn's typical year starts teaching to an incredibly high standard on the Montana slopes and then moving down to Tennessee to teach Kayaking after a month hiatus after the winter season.\xa0\xa0\n\nListen on\xa0Spotify,\xa0Apple Podcasts,\xa0Google Podcasts, and all other platforms; just search \u201cBetween The Mountains\u201d or\xa0Ask Alexa!\xa0\n\nA Three Seasons Van\xa0\n\nLynn has a van from the 90's that - for the most part - fits the bill. She has done only a few modifications, but most crucially she has added a wood stove.\xa0\n\nHowever, she does talk about how, when in Montana, the night can get pretty cold. It's all good kitting out your van, but it's even better when you can stay at a friends house when temperatures plummet well below -10F/-23C!\xa0\n\nAn Adventure Year - On Repeat\xa0\n\nIn the winter, Lynn stays in Montana and teaches skiing throughout the season. The van is owe a brilliant thanks for that. Although she has to add a few layers in the peak of winter, it is the van that enables Lynn to be free and stay to teach in this beautiful setting.\xa0\n\nSpending the winter teaching some hard skiing is incredible. Naturally, you get some clients who are slower, or perhaps willing to learn. But so many epic powder days are to be had during the season.\xa0\n\nHear more about this in the show, and how Lynn tailors teaches for each person - quite a transferrable skill!\xa0\n\nAfter the ski season, Lynn usually kayaks - for herself this time - for a month to recharge. Then, it's straight back into the next job!\xa0\n\nMoving through to Tennessee, Lynn teaches kayaking May-August, then chases white water across the state and over to North Carolina, Georgia and more.\xa0\n\nLynn describes her time as lucky. Although it was a quick comment, I couldn't disagree more. No-one came and handed her this lifestyle as a prize. Lynn has worked hard to have this career and live this lifestyle. A lesson we should all learn and take forward.\xa0\n\n-------------------------\xa0\n\nIf you enjoy the show please subscribe/follow and\xa0share with a friend!\xa0\n\nIf you\xa0really\xa0enjoy the show please check out our\xa0Patreon site here.
