Dude turns grandma’s 1994 Dodge Ram van into a badass road tripping machine
28-year old Californian Travis Burke just spent the past year roadtripping around North America, taking some incredible photographs of everything from roadside wonders, to the Milky Way Galaxy, and breathtaking waterfalls. He did all this in his grandmother’s 1994 Dodge Ram, which he devoted just 3 months to convert and make road trip-ready.

As a professional travel photographer, Burke has made a name for himself for his scenic landscape shots. He’s also amassed a loyal following of over 200,000 fans on his Instagram account and website, all of whom are tagging along vicariously as he chronicles his adventures..

“It is now my own dream adventure-mobile, which allows me to work and travel full time, continuously photographing diverse locations.
‘Work days range anywhere from spending countless hours on the computer editing photos to photographing the Milky Way Galaxy or backpacking in search of hidden waterfalls!”

Burke hopes that people will see that anyone can follow their dreams and hit the road, or just “explore their own backyard.”
But, it’s not all waterfalls and astrophotography. Life on the road has its challenges. From flat tires to lack of hygenic facilities. But, life on the road is “ultimately rewarding” regardless of the hiccups.
Here’s a few of Burke’s coolest adventures…
