Built to Roam
Since Fall 2022, I have been building and modifying my own vehicles by hand, turning them into tools for exploration. What started as small upgrades gradually evolved into a larger system designed for long-distance travel and self-reliance.
Through this process, I am not only preparing for future journeys across the United States, but also working toward a larger ambition — to travel the Pan-American route.
This project represents a personal and design-driven pursuit of freedom, mobility, and resilience.
