Who is the perfect travel partner? Family, friends or your partner? Well, Sydney Ferbrache says none of the above. She quit her job, ditched her boyfriend to tick off her travel desires with her ultimate companion. 24-year old Sydney travels the world with her dog in her van. Yes! You heard this right. She explores new places with her furry companion, Ella and their travel pictures couldn’t have made us more jealous.
What’s In It?
Sydney is a native of Indiana in the US. Back in September 2017, she broke up with her then-boyfriend. They had bought a Mercedes Sprinter van together. But after their breakup, her ex-boyfriend took possession of the van. But Sydney wanted to travel the world no matter what. So she worked three jobs – as a nanny, website designer and even one including stuffing envelopes. She even sold some of her things and finally purchased an empty 2017 Ford Transit High Roof 148 Wheelbase van for $24,000 (₹17,21,076 approx) in May 2018.
She then began her journey to achieve her travel dreams. Her golden retriever, Ella accompanied her. And together they explored 20 states including Yellowstone, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, San Diego, California, Oregon and even Quebec in Canada. Ella and Sydney are on their way to tick off more places on their bucket list especially Mexico. Her van has a kitchen, office space and even solar-powered electricity. But it doesn’t have a toilet, so she often uses bathrooms at local gyms to freshen up.
