For 22-year-old Gabby Petito, of Long Island, New York, embracing “van life,” a nomadic lifestyle that embraces living minimally in a converted van while traveling the world, was meant to be an adventure of a lifetime this summer. But less than two months after beginning the road trip of a lifetime with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, Petito has disappeared. Laundrie returned to his home in North Point, Florida, with the van, but Petito was not with him, her family said.
