Welcome to Spin the Globe Project! An ethical adventure travel and lifestyle resource. This is the place where I share budget travel tips, solo van life information, and stories from backpacking and expat life over the last 7 years on 6 continents and 50+ countries.
The pages of this site are full of proof that you can live a nomadic lifestyle abroad with just a passport and an open mind, maintain a 9-5 while cashing in vacation days for exotic adventures, or live in a van while traveling your own country.
Join the mailing list so you don’t miss van life, solo travel, and sustainable lifestyle tips and inspiration!
I’m Anna, the storyteller behind Spin the Globe Project. I’m a 28-year-old dreamer with an appetite for adventure, a desire for simplicity, a passion for social justice and sustainability, and nomadic tendencies. Hence why I live in a self-contained, solar-powered van with my dog Cagney.

My Documentary
Watch The Giving Journey Trailer
In 2018, I embarked on a unique journey across Central America. Backpacking on a tight budget, volunteering on a farm, an ecological research center, at a school and in a hostel in exchange for meals and accommodation. All to create “The Giving Journey“- a travel documentary exploring ecotourism and responsible voluntourism as a means of making travel more meaningful and affordable.
The Mission: To inspire adventurous souls with socially conscious hearts to travel with a purpose.
The Giving Journey Premiere: Coming Soon on Patreon!
