She’s Been a Nomad for 12 Years

on June 14, 2024

While we’ve seen many families hitting the road with young children as of late, Bella’s parents chose RV life long before it was popular on Instagram! She grew up on the road for most of her childhood, but started to resent it as a teenager.

She claimed she would never live like that as an adult — she would go to college and be normal! But at 17 she had a change of heart and started saving up for her own van. In 2023, she found the perfect rig and she converted it with her dad. Enjoy the tour!

VIDEO: After 12 Years Living Nomadically She Built Her Dream Camper Van

Highlights:

  • Bella has been living nomadically since age 3 with her parents who had them living nomadically in RVs for years.
  • She rebelled against her “different” childhood for a while, but ultimately realized how amazing and fun it was and decided to get her own rig!
  • She has a pullout pantry, large drawers, and a magnetic spice rack in her pretty green kitchen.
  • The full-size mattress has extra flares to make it super comfortable.
  • Her only regret is that her garage doesn’t have sliding drawers for all her rock climbing, hiking, and surfing gear.
