So I Bought a Van

van

Fate conspired to get a converted van into my life so that I could take a trip that I’ve been dreaming of for a long time.

And EPoP favorite Napkins was along for the ride.

Who knew that the times would line up JUST RIGHT to get me into a 1989 Chevrolet G20 that was summarily dubbed “Old Bess”

This trip showed us that we never lose our wonder and that sometimes, things are just meant to be!

Listen along for our amazing story of the acquisition of Old Bess, and our week-long road trip!

Hiking & The Greenbelly Bar with Chris Cage


Chris used to be an accountant but then decided to go out on a big adventure that turned into more.

Travelers will know this feeling. If you’re going to go on one big bucket list trip, you might as well go on three!

Or as Chris Cage said, when you’re in New Zealand you might as well be in Southeast Asia!

After traveling through Southeast Asia, biking through New Zealand and walking the Appalachian Trail, Chris realized there was an issue.

It was hard to find enough calories to power these kinds of adventures!!

So he set out to solve the issue by creating his own shelf-stable bar that could power cyclists and hikers of all kinds.

And so Greenbelly.co was born, almost completely unintentionally. It had never been his plan to create his own business, but that’s where he ended up. And it’s been an awesome ride.
