Who We Are

I started ModernDayGypsies.com as a place to share my projects and progress, and also to showcase other folks living the #VanLife and #VehicleLife.  I have been living full time in a 2003 Workhorse P42 Forward Control Stepvan (say that 5 times fast!) since June of 2018.  Her name is Vangelina, and she's the first van conversion I've ever done.  She's a retired US Postal Van.  I live and travel with my best bud Valiant, a 5 pound Pomeranian with a 50 pound attitude.

I made many mistakes and discoveries along the way constructing Vangi, and I will be sharing things I've learned and things I've done.  But I want MDG to be more than just a blog about me.  I want to share and highlight exceptional 'Modern Gypsy Wagons,'  anything that has been repurposed as a home on the go.  Whether choice or circumstance, living the nomad lifestyle has benefits and drawbacks.  I want to know and share why people created their homes, how they did it, and highlight the fact that not having a house doesn't mean one is homeless.  Home is simply a vessel to contain one's life, love, and laughter. 

I also will be sharing some of my projects and passions, such as:

Van Life Exchange - A website and App I'm working on to let vehicle dwellers find help and help each other.

PositivityRocks.org - My pet project to spread positive messages and positive vibes into the universe.

Stay tuned as we build and grow.  Send me a message through the Contact Us link above to get on the "Waitlist" to find out when I've actually posted content.  Also, contact me if you have a unique vehicle or know someone who does, and want to see it highlighted on ModernDayGypsies.com.   

I look forward to hearing from you.

Big O
