i'm Rose, she's Bud.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Spent most of my life on the East coast and new to Phoenix, Arizona. As a child I was always fond of the great outdoors and found comfort in nature.

Like for most of us, my life drastically changed in 2020. Living and working in Connecticut was not a reality for me anymore. After a job layoff and apartment lease about to expire I drove to Florida to start a new life.

Turning a crisis situation into an opportunity I decided to purchase a cargo van and convert it into my tiny home on wheels. Purchased Bud as a blank canvas with no plan of how I was going to build her out. I trusted in my intuition to make it work since the lifestyle was calling me.

Moving forward, I connected with my Airbnb hosts and they were able to help me transform my dream into a reality. With their help I completed the conversion in 3 weeks. At the end of the build out I was called back to my previous job which allowed me to work remotely.

Made several trips around Florida before heading West. While living and working remotely, Bud and I traveled coast to coast enjoying beautiful state parks and scenic drives along the way. We found amazing spots to boondock and camp while appreciating the simplicity of Vanlife.

Finally landing in Phoenix, Arizona and finding my new place to call home. Travel transformed my life and I want to make the experience available to others. Bud brought so much joy to my life this past year and my goal is to share that joy with others.
