A vlog about gaining confidence through discomfort & healing after a narcissist abuse.
About
After 2 years on the road living the van life and facing many exhausting and life-threatening challenges along the way, Natasha Hynes, from Montreal, Canada, has moved on to the next chapter of her life in pursuit of recreating herself after decades of narcissistic abuse had left her with nothing. In 2021 Natasha bought a Dodge Sprinter van with a dream of waking up in the mountains on the Canadian west coast. After downsizing her life to move out of a toxic living situation and into a van with her 3 cats, Natasha crossed the country overcoming many obstacles along the way. Breakdowns, floods, and Canadian winter storms were only a few of the life-threatening challenges she faced, showing us that the "hashtag vanlife" lifestyle is mostly an illusion. Within a few months of beginning her van life journey she would cross the country two more times, and end up abandoned without a vehicle on the wrong side of the country in the -40 degree bitter cold by her at the time co-traveler. Natasha found her way back to her Sprinter van on Vancouver Island from North Bay Ontario using creative ways to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. Her vlog, Quest Out West, chronicles the good and bad of van life, travel, and life struggles without the glamorous bias you see on social media, with the ultimate goal of inspiring you to face your fears, transcend limitations, and go after the life you really want.
