Lindsey’s love for travel started right after college when she hit the road with friends in a truck, unknowingly setting the stage for the nomadic lifestyle she enjoys today. Now a travel nurse, she takes on assignments across the country — and her customized $26K camper van makes every location feel like home.
She spent a full year designing and building out her van, keeping everything simple, functional, and cozy. With a fixed bed for daytime rest between night shifts, plenty of cabinets for storage, and a compact but charming kitchenette, her layout shows how comfortable van life can be with thoughtful planning.
