"In 2016, Noami Grevemberg knew she had to make a big change. Dissatisfied with her office job and her "stationary home," she decided to quit her job, sell her belongings, and set out in her 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon to pursue a life of simplicity and travel with her husband and German Shepherd by her side. In her years living full-time on the road, Noami has become an expert in all things vanlife. Living the Vanlife digs into every aspect of the lifestyle, from getting over uncomfortable feelings of uncertainty to creating a sustainable, thriving life of adventure and a captivating path to choosing whatever it is you truly want for yourself. Through personal stories and actionable advice, Noami candidly and compassionately demonstrates how challenging the status quo means taking bold steps, venturing out of your comfort zone, and living intentionally. As a Trinidadian immigrant, Noami also takes a practical look at life on the road as a BIPOC navigating many intersections and speaks to topics like converting a van to fit your specific needs, budgeting for vanlife, finding employment, staying safe, and building a supportive community on the road." -- Back cover.
"Discover what it's really like to live and work full-time on the road in a camper van from eco-vanlifer and founder of the Diversify Vanlife movement, Noami Grevemberg"-- Provided by publisher.
