Freedom on the Road in Her Van Conversion


This post may contain affiliate links & sponsored content.

Abby’s love for an adventurous lifestyle led her to convert her own van! She fit a bike, paddleboard, camping gear, and tools under her bed, so she can enjoy the outdoors. Her conversion was a DIY build, that cost her $37,000. She used plenty of reclaimed materials to keep costs down, but the van’s aesthetic isn’t compromised by her frugality!

She has a fixed queen-sized bed in the back of her van, and a workspace in the front where she does her full-time marketing work. Her kitchen has a sink made from an industrial coffee pot, and a two-burner propane cooktop. Enjoy her energy and excitement for life in the video below.

Highlights:

  • Abby had childhood cancer, which shaped the way she thinks about life and the time she has. She wants to live every day to the fullest, and life on the road gives her that opportunity.
  • She’s especially proud of building her very own home! She and her uncle worked together on the build, using plenty of reclaimed materials to keep costs down.
  • Because she loves to be outdoors, she made sure her garage could accommodate all of her outdoor gear like a paddleboard and bike.
  • She works in marketing full-time while she travels nomadically, and made sure to create a functional office space for herself in the build.
