Hey, I'm Lane! I'm a musician (singer/guitarist), soccer enthusiast, and all‑around adventure seeker based in Burlington, Vermont. When I'm not working as a human services professional supporting folks with disabilities, you'll probably find me hiking, camping, boating, or geeking out on sci‑fi and fantasy films and video games with friends and family. I bought my 2023 Airstream Basecamp REI Edition because it fits how I like to travel — compact enough to tow anywhere, but fully equipped for off‑grid adventures with solar, lithium batteries, and all the rugged upgrades. I love sharing it with fellow explorers and take pride in keeping it spotless, well‑stocked, and ready to roll. Expect a thorough walkthrough at pickup, a detailed handbook with local recommendations, and quick responses if anything comes up on the road. I'd rather answer a dozen "silly" questions than have you stressed — that's not what adventures are for. Can't wait to help you have an amazing trip! — Lane
