Built to Wander, Driven to Build
I was a heartbeat in the bassline,
a shadow in neon glow,
spinning songs for sleepless souls,
letting music take control.
Then the road called out my name,
a whisper through the trees,
so I traded decks for capricious drives,
chasing the wind and the unknown.
Van doors open, stories spilling,
stars my only streetlights,
solitude became my compass,
freedom kept me up at night.
Shaky hands and restless dreams,
words that long to take their form,
poetry like mountain echoes.
But the highway will sing a new song soon,
gears shift in a diesel hum,
a woman riding steel and thunder,
building a safe place she'd never known.
I’m the quiet storm still rising,
carving paths where few have been,
solo driver, storyteller,
writing truth against the wind.
About me
Hey, I’m Cori — a writer, traveler, and minimalist with a soft spot for the open road and a strong WiFi signal. I spent two years living out of a van, chasing sunsets, breaking down in strange places, and learning how to rebuild myself along the way. Somewhere between the chaos and the quiet, I found clarity — and now I’m using my experience to help others find it too.
Whether I’m streamlining admin systems for small businesses, writing about healing and heartbreak, or showing up fully for whatever season I’m in, everything I do is rooted in purpose. I believe in resilience, real talk, and doing good work that actually feels good.
If you’re into raw honesty, road trips, and building a life that doesn’t look like everyone else’s — we’ll probably get along just fine.
