Living the vanlife: on the road toward sustainability, community, and joy - noami grevemberg

Discover what its 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.

Feeling dissatisfied with her office job and her stationary home, in 2016 Noami Grevemberg took a bold step.

She quit her job, sold her belongings, and set out in her 1985 VW Vanagon to pursue a life of simplicity and travel with her husband and German Shepherd by her side.

In her years living fulltime on the road, Noami has become an expert in the many aspects of vanlife.

In her book Living the Vanlife , she digs into all aspects of the lifestyle, from getting over the uncomfortable feeling of uncertainty, to creating a sustainable, thriving life of adventure and a captivating path of choosing whatever it is you truly want for yourself.

Through personal stories and actionable advice, Noami candidly and compassionately demonstrates for readers that challenging the status quo means taking bold steps, venturing out of your comfort zone, taking risks, 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.

Featuring evocative full-color photographs of Noamis journey, Living the Vanlife is an inclusive and celebratory look at an increasingly popular way of life.
