Author Information

Noami J. Grevemberg is a vanlife OG (since 2016), remote entrepreneur, and dog mom, living on the road in her classic Volkswagen Vanagon. Born and raised in a remote village on the island of Trinidad, she believes in nature's ability to heal and inspire. As a child, her favorite pastime was weekly poetry recitals by oil lantern in her grandmother's living room, which invoked a passion for storytelling. After leaving behind the corporate grind to live in a van full-time, Noami rekindled her love for storytelling--a gift she now uses as a tool to break down barriers and cultivate intentionally inclusive spaces. Noami is the proud founder of the Diversify Vanlife community organization, a self-taught photographer, avid outdoorist, and she considers herself an accidental minimalist. When she's not hunting for WiFi or exploring the backroads of America with her partner and German Shepherd pup, you can find Noami in her tiny van-kitchen cooking up fiery cultural dishes inspired by her Afro-Indo Caribbean roots.
