I’m Denise, the co-creator of Two with a View and a passionate vanlifer. Together with Bailey, I started this journey without much prior knowledge of van life, building, or designing—only a deep love for travel. Life on the road has taught us many lessons and helped us grow, both practically and personally. Now, we’re fully dedicated to our blog to help others who want to embrace this lifestyle. I manage much of the communications, design, and translations for our articles, making Two with a View an inspiring and accessible space for travelers looking to carve their own path.
