E3 - From Tofino

In this episode, we discuss our experiences with van life in Tofino, our transition from house-sitting, and the challenges and growth that come with such a lifestyle.
Maddy shares her struggle with being in a funk around career uncertainty and how a simple beach walk and shift in perspective (and surprise dog attack) helped her alleviate it.
Daniel emphasises the importance of living in the present, simplifying life, and how our diligent planning and camping trips has prepared us for van life.
We also touch on the intricacies of house-sitting, Maddison's career uncertainty, and the importance of evaluating past decisions.
