What does it look like to chase a dream when you fully understand that time is finite?
In Episode 55 of DubLife Diaries, we sit down with Volkswagen enthusiast John Krahulec to talk about his extraordinary Memento Mori journey — a cross-country adventure built around redemption, reflection, and the machines that shaped his life.
What began with a beautifully restored 1967 Volkswagen Beetle has evolved into a full three-vehicle expedition featuring a Ford Bronco Raptor, an open trailer, and a mission that stretches far beyond the road.
John’s journey takes him through Baja, California, and across the legendary Route 66 during its 100th anniversary year, connecting iconic landscapes with deeply personal meaning. Each leg of the trip represents a different chapter of his life — honoring his past through the Beetle while embracing his present capabilities behind the wheel of the Bronco.
But this story isn’t just about cars or miles traveled.
It’s about the philosophy behind the words “Memento Mori” — remember that you will die — and how that reminder can inspire us to live more intentionally, pursue our passions, and celebrate the communities that bring us together.
Along the way, John shares the heart behind the journey, the lessons learned from rebuilding both a car and a life, and how the Volkswagen community continues to be a powerful force connecting people across generations.
This episode is about adventure, perspective, and the courage to chase what matters most while we still have the time.
If you love road trips, air-cooled Volkswagens, and stories about people who refuse to live life halfway — this one is for you.
