On the Road with Adie

Ride along

We are professional story seekers, Miracle and Ryan Ireland. Together we spent 13 months traveling North America with our rescue dog, Jolene, in search of diverse VW stories for our podcast, “So You Owned a VW Bus.” in total we logged 40,000 miles across 49 states, three countries, and any number of mechanical difficulties collecting oral histories from those who have dared to drive, ride in, or simply inhabit the iconic Volkswagen Transporter.

We like to document our best hikes, our favorite recipes, must-listen song lists, and, of course, anything to do with VW buses.

Quotes from the road
