From Vanlife to Farmlife

From Vanlife to Farmlife

Ridgemont Ambassador Alex Jackson is a bit of a nomad. He'll work half the year on a farm in Canada in order to save up cash so that he can spend the other half of the year on epic adventures. This year he loaded up his wife, his dog, and his gear in his Toyota Hiace van named Norton, and then tripped all the way down the west coast into Mexico. Camping, sightseeing, hot springing, you name it, they did it.

Livin' la vida vanlife

Alex Jackson is a Ridgemont Ambassador on the move. Literally, he hasn't stopped moving almost daily for the last few months. Hailing from Vermilion, Alberta, Canada, Alex works hard at home most of the year as a heavy machine operating farmer. He'll save his dough during the working season so that he can hit the road during the off season with his wife, his dog, and his rig. From Canada, through the US and Mexico, this year Alex has seen it all. And he's still not home yet.
