Dustin and Noami are eco-vanlifers, digital nomads and adventurers. You can often find them chasing 75 and sunny with their co-pilot and adventure buddy, Amara the Shepherd. Noami is the founder of Diversify Vanlife, a community organization creating a safe space for BIPOC and other underrepresented individuals in the nomadic community. After Amara found Dustin and Noami on a lonely Texas highway, she quickly settled into her van-home and nomadic life. Her favorite activities are trail running and swimming with her adopted mom, and hiking and camping with the pack. Above all, she loves going and exploring new smells. ‘Amara’ is from the Igbo language meaning grace, mercy and kindness.

“ My dog is my joy, my bestie and soul mate. She inspires us to slow down, to make time for play and to infuse joy into our lives. Our journey revolves around her. We're reminded every day that she's her own being, living her own life and serving her own purpose. This journey is her's as much as it is ours. ”

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a dog parent, it’s that having a pup allows you to experience life and everyday adventures in a whole new way. So when Amara joined our pack, there was no doubt we would bring her along on all our adventures.
