About Darya Karas

My story begins on a small farm in rural Minnesota where I was raised and spent my time dreaming of getting out of such a place. I moved to Minneapolis for college, where I attended and graduated from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities (Go Gophs!). I began to travel more steadily once I turned 19 -- I spent a month traveling Europe, a month road trip around the US, and then moving to Utah on a whim for a job offer. Once Covid hit in early 2020, my job went remote, and I took a leap of faith again and moved into a van, Vanny DeVito, to travel and work from the road! I finished the lower 48 states this past month and have been taking a break here in for Utah now. I have found that traveling, specifically in a fully sufficient van, has allowed me to grow into the very independent and curious person that I always knew I was. I hope whether you rent my van for a day or a week, that you feel even just a smidgen of that same pride that I get from traveling!
