Creating a safe space for BIPOC and underrepresented individuals in the nomadic community

nomads + vanlifers + land protectors

Welcome To The Community!

Breathe easy, friends. This platform is a place of safety, created to intentionally celebrate and empower road travelers and outdoorists living at the intersections and taking up space in the margins.

show up as your full, authentic self

Our growing community of Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx, and people of color at all intersections, exploded in response to the lack of representation in road travel and outdoor media. Performative inclusivity only creates more barriers to entry. Like Black lives, authenticity matters.

shift the narrative

Diversify Vanlife is a platform that redefines community in the outdoors by celebrating diversity and intersectionality. People from all walks of life deserve to feel seen and heard. We produce curated content, living resources and engaging events for underrepresented peoples whose voices and stories need to be amplified.
