This blog post was written by nuCamp’s TAB 400 ambassadors, Mandy and Kendrick.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi friends \u2014 we\u2019re Mandy and Kendrick. Today, we wanted to open up a little about how, over the last decade, living in our nuCamp trailers has allowed us to travel, chase adventure, and still make a living with smiles on our faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leap that started it all<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ten years ago, Mandy was living what you\u2019d call a \u201ctraditional life.\u201d Steady job, stable apartment, respectable future\u2026 and yet she was deeply unhappy. Something inside was tugging \u2014 she needed to find her own happiness, even if it meant turning everything upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography was her passion, and she dreamed of teaching workshops out in the wild. A tiny travel trailer seemed like the best way to make that happen. Trouble was, the only thing her car could tow was something really small.<\/em> Enter the nuCamp TAG teardrop trailer \u2014 the perfect little nest that would crack open her new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendrick\u2019s story wasn\u2019t too different. He was on track as a chemical engineer, set up for a long climb up the corporate ladder. But the thought of being locked into that life forever didn\u2019t bring him joy \u2014 it filled him with dread. So, he made a leap into the unknown, too, moving into the back of his Toyota Tacoma. It gave him a taste of freedom, even while he continued to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two tiny lives come together<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we met, it was pretty much instant kismet. Two minimalists with big dreams \u2014 of course, we\u2019d end up together. Mandy\u2019s TAG had plenty of room for two (we promise!), and we started figuring out what it meant to not only live together on the road<\/a>, but also to work<\/em> together<\/a> from wherever we parked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trailers that built our life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the last decade, we\u2019ve lived in five different nuCamp trailers. Each one played a huge role in shaping our lives and teaching us lessons we never expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
