Living the Vanlife: On the Road Toward Sustainability, Community, and Joy

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.

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 Noami’s journey, Living the Vanlife is an inclusive and celebratory look at an increasingly popular way of life.
