After her mother passed away from early-onset Alzheimer's, Schrock bought her first van at 45 and has been traveling ever since. She bought the van 20 years ahead of schedule, while still working full-time and raising her child. Traveling by van has had its challenges, but Schrock is glad she didn't wait any longer to follow her dreams.",
