Exit Strategy

This is the dream:

No office. No meeting requests. No instant messages. No instant coffee. No conference rooms with twee names.

Instead: the open road. Just a man in a van in America.

And that’s Home Is Where You Park It, a coffee-table-ready, photographic paean to the open road, available now for preorder.

Shot by one Foster Huntington, who quit his design job in 2011 to hit the road, the travelogue covers nearly a hundred thousand miles of blacktop and fire trail in the American West.

Huntington lived in a converted Toyota truck. Fact: he’s still living in the truck. When he isn’t driving, he surfs.

Inside: all the inspiration you’ll need to plant the seeds of your own escape — be it for the weekend or the rest of your life.

And if you’re curious how a pro like Huntington rolls, look no further than his amazing explanation of how he does it.

Lesson #1: VWs look cool, but man they’re a bitch to sleep in.
