Hi, I’m Kristen!

I know what it’s like to feel excited about van life… and totally overwhelmed by it, too.

When I first hit the road in 2016, there weren’t many van life resources available, so I had to figure it out on my own. In the process, I made some incredibly stressful and expensive mistakes.

I trusted the wrong van builder. I constantly worried about safety. I spent way more than I needed to, and had no idea how to find those dreamy off-grid campsites I saw all over Instagram. I remember wondering: Is van life really supposed to be this hard?

Thankfully I kept going, and now 9 years in, I’ve built a life on the road that I truly love. That’s why I’m offering 1-on-1 Van Life Kickstart Coaching Sessions — so you don’t have to go it alone. Whether you’re still in the dreaming phase or already deep in planning, I’ll help you get clear on your next steps, avoid the common pitfalls, and feel fully supported as you prepare for this adventure.

Make Confident Van Life Decisions — Without the Guesswork

In one powerful session, we’ll turn your overwhelm and anxiety into a step-by-step plan that gets you on the road.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, unsure where to start, or just want a second opinion before making big decisions, our session will leave you feeling excited, equipped, and ready to build the life on the road you’ve been dreaming about.

“Kristen helped me feel more grounded and confident about taking this leap…


I’ve been planning to embark on a full time vanlife journey since the pandemic so I watched many youtube videos to gather as much information as I could. But when I was finally ready to start my vanlife journey, I realized I still had many questions on logistics.  So I signed up for a one on one session with Kristen.  Her experience really showed – not only she answered all my questions but also shared practical tips, thoughtful advice and insights I hadn’t even considered.  But more than just the logistics, she helped me feel more grounded and confident about taking this leap.  Starting vanlife on my own felt a little intimidating no matter how much homework I’ve done on the topic… but our conversation gave me the comfort and courage I needed to get started.  I highly recommend Kristen if you’re looking for guidance from someone who’s truly been there.

What You’ll Gain From a 1:1 Session

This isn’t just a Zoom call — it’s a 90-minute deep dive into your van life vision. Whether you’re just getting started or working through the details, we’ll tackle your most pressing questions, cut through the noise, and get you moving forward with confidence.

01

Get Answers That Actually Apply to You

This isn’t one-size-fits-all advice. Your session is about figuring out your next steps, based on your unique goals, lifestyle, and roadblocks. You’ll walk away with the specific guidance you need to make decisions and take action.

02

Save Time, Money, and a Whole Lot of Headaches

Many van lifers waste thousands of dollars and months of precious time figuring things out the hard way. In our session, I’ll help you avoid the common pitfalls — so you can spend less, get on the road sooner, and start enjoying the freedom of the road with fewer setbacks.

03

Build Momentum Toward the Life You Want

This call isn’t just about logistics — it’s about helping you feel ready. Ready to trust yourself. Ready to take action. Ready to stop overthinking and start living the life you’ve been craving. By the end of our session, you’ll feel a real shift: from hesitant and uncertain to capable and enboldened to take the next step toward your van life adventure.

Your Personalized Roadmap to Van Life

Because starting van life doesn’t have to be stressful — you just need a little guidance from someone who’s been there.

Tailored Strategies

Forget cookie-cutter tips. Every van lifer has a different timeline, budget, lifestyle, and comfort zone — and in our session, we’ll focus on your unique vision.

Real-World Experience You Can Trust

I’ve done some version of van life for the last 9 years — solo, with a partner, with 2 dogs, and now with a toddler. I’ve made the mistakes, tried different layouts, tested the gear, figured out what works (and what really doesn’t). I’ll pass that wisdom onto you so you can stop second guessing.

Shortcut to Freedom

Why spend months sifting through conflicting info when you can get straight answers in one focused session? This is your fast track to feeling informed, prepared, and excited to begin.

10/10 Recommend!

“My call with Kristen was exactly what I needed to move forward with confidence. I’m nearing retirement and in the process of buying a van, but after months of research and YouTube rabbit holes, I was still overwhelmed — especially when it came to choosing a layout and figuring out the logistics. Within 20 minutes, Kristen helped me nail down the layout that fits my lifestyle best. From there, we covered everything from boondocking, to safety concerns, how to fill water tanks, and tips for finding community. I’ve done a lot of camping, but never off-grid like this, and Kristen’s step-by-step process for finding campsites completely eased my anxiety. I left our session feeling genuinely excited and prepared for this next chapter.” -Sandy Ramiro, Oregon

Why Work with Me?

Over the past 9 years, I’ve lived on the road in three different vans and now an adventure truck. I’ve tested multiple layouts, setups, and systems — and learned firsthand what actually works (and what doesn’t) for different seasons of life.

I’ve navigated van life solo, with a partner, and now as a parent — and every version has come with its own challenges and rewards. Through it all, I’ve built a lifestyle that’s flexible, fulfilling, and aligned with my values — and I want to help you do the same.

But more importantly? I’ve helped thousands of others through my blog, videos, and now these 1:1 sessions — offering grounded, real-life advice that goes way beyond what you’ll find on Google or Instagram.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all van life. I believe in helping you find your way — whether that means downsizing without the stress, choosing the right vehicle, or simply getting unstuck and taking the next step.

I’ve been there — the excitement, the overwhelm, the “what am I doing?” moments. If you want grounded, real-talk guidance to help you move forward, I’m here to help.

Wait, I have a question..

That’s totally fine — in fact, this is a great time to book a session. I’ll help you think through your options, avoid common (and costly) mistakes, and get clear on what type of setup will work best for your lifestyle and goals.

Absolutely. Many van lifers get on the road and quickly realize that van life brings a whole new set of challenges. Maybe your layout isn’t working the way you hoped, your daily routines feel chaotic, or you’re struggling to find campsites that feel safe and peaceful.

You might feel burned out from too much driving, unsure how to stay connected for work, or just not enjoying the lifestyle as much as you thought you would. I’ve been there — and I’ll help you sort through what’s not working and make practical, doable adjustments so you actually enjoy the experience you set out for.

That’s totally normal — and it won’t be a problem. Before our session, I’ll send you a short questionnaire to get a sense of where you’re at, what you’re considering, and what challenges you’re facing.

That helps me come to the call prepared with guidance tailored to you. During the session, I’ll ask the right questions to uncover what you really need — so you don’t have to come in with a list or have it all figured out.

After our session, you’ll get one week of voice memo support. You can send quick questions as you make decisions, and I’ll reply within 24 hours. Your 20-minute follow-up call can be used anytime — whether that’s two weeks or two months down the road. Just email me when you’re ready, and I’ll send you a link to schedule it.

Once you click the booking link, you’ll pay for your session. Then, I’ll immediately send you the link to choose a time on my calendar. If you have trouble finding a time slot, just email me and we will figure out a time that works for both of us. After scheduling the call, I’ll send over a short questionnaire to help me prepare, along with the meeting link.

Feel equipped, supported, and ready to bring your van life vision to life.

This is your moment to take a huge step toward living your van life dreams with guidance, support, and the inside scoop on making it as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
