I Lived in My Subaru Forester for a Year | 2025 Solo Travel Recap

For an entire year, my Subaru Forester was my home.

In 2025, I lived on the road full-time—sleeping in parking lots, public lands, wildlife areas, and quiet corners of the country most people pass right by.

This video is a full recap of that year: the places I explored, the routines I built, and the realities of solo car living that don’t always make it into the highlight reels. From peaceful mornings alone in nature to long drives, unexpected loneliness, and learning how to slow down, this journey reshaped how I travel—and how I live.

If you’re curious about:
• Living in a Subaru Forester
• Solo car living and van life alternatives
• Long-term road travel in the U.S.
• Minimalist travel and remote life
• The mental side of being alone on the road
…this recap pulls it all together.

Thanks for following along this year. More quiet roads ahead.
