Most people don’t impulse buy old campers and decide to restore them in 9 days… I guess I’m not like most people. 

2020. COVID. The year everything got WEIRD. Well, I’m used to freedom. I am used to travel, I’m used to working A TON. All that came to a crashing, grinding halt. I was still getting requests from brands to create great travel content for them. There was only one problem- we were in lockdown. I couldn’t travel anywhere. I was also looking for a way to safely explore, to continue to adventure and to feel like myself even despite a global pandemic. Additionally, I needed a distraction. With yoga teacher trainings and my yoga school essentially on hold for the foreseeable future, it was imperative that I poured my energy into another creative pursuit. 

All it took was one quite suggestion from a friend, “you should get a trillium trailer.” A what? I’d never heard of such a thing. I’d never even been inside a camper before. I had never towed anything with my car. I had never camped alone. I had never taken on a full-scale renovation. The word “trillium” stuck in my mind. Later that evening I googled it. Within about an hour I was committed to buying one, restoring it and reselling it when I was done. I convinced myself it would be a good investment. 

Enter NOMAD CUSTOM TRAILERS. Dominic and his wife Chantal stared their vintage camper restoration company a few years ago after getting on a similar crazy train as me. They happened to have a camper laying around that was in more or less good condition but aesthitically pretty meh. We got on the phone, I liked them already. They offered me a pretty epic price on the trailer. I went down to the bank, pulled some money out of my line of credit and drove 3 hours to pick up my new in over my head project.
