Geena Truman (@beyond_the_bucketlist) is a freelance Travel Writer and Van Lifer - she strives to help people understand a destination beyond the tourist attractions. We discuss the value of immersive travel and some of her experiences.

We delve into the Instagram vs. Reality of living in a van with her fiance: how to start, the environmental impact, and the compassion that comes from having a taste of homelessness.

Geena's immersive budget travel guides and van tips can be found on her website - beyondthebucketlist.co
