As far as I can remember, my life has revolved around car, traveling, adventuring, living and making a living in them. In 2005 Jason Magness and I co-founded YogaSlackers from a car, and since then our company has always had a nomad headquarter. Here are some links to our current and past vehicles. I hope you find them equally interesting and educational.
We – Sam and Raquel – have created a Patreon page in an effort to create economic support to develop content related to living on the road.
Living nomadically during a pandemic has been tough. Your contribution will help us separate time to film, photograph, edit and write about different aspects of living on the road. While reducing our worries about daily expenses and not being able to teach yoga, acrobatics and slacklining in large festivals like we used to.
Check out more information about our current and previous nomad headquarters below. Each vehicle has their own page.
For 12 years this 1988 Ford Festiva was our home, office and method of transport. Together we visited all the continental states, 5 Canadian Provinces and Mexico. With over 500,000 miles, the PLC now rests in North Dakota after living a full life.
In 2017 we decided to upgrade our home. We wanted a larger space to sleep in, the ability to cook inside and air conditioner. The SlackerVan – a 1988 Mitsubishi Delica – gave us two out of our three requests and a lot more.
The ev4x4 is a work in progress. We are pretty much building from scratch our dream vehicle: a diesel hybrid 4×4.
