Courtney and CJ met doing gymnastics, got married, and moved to Washington, D.C. They were happy in their life until 2020 changed the world. They started camping more and more and wanted to keep doing it all the time — some Google searching led them down the van life rabbit hole, and they were hooked!
They settled on a bus conversion and spent the next 6 months taking their short bus and transforming it into a home on wheels. For the past 9 months, they’ve been traveling the country and enjoying the time together and in nature. Check out the video tour below!
