Hi there! We're Emily and Sam. We met teaching at a small school in Maine, traveled together through Europe and Morocco, and then got our van, Suzanne! We have taken some wonderful trips with her, and are thrilled that we can now help others get out on their own vanlife adventures.

Emily was great to work with. We had one issue and she made sure to call and make sure we got it figured out. The van needs new tires badly, also new wiper blades would be appreciated. Overall the van was easy to drive and did well in tight spaces. It was stocked with everything we needed and made for a great home for the week
