Why We Started This Van Life Site

Wilderness

Tuscobia Trail is our guide to living the van life. We started the site to document our story and offer helpful advice, information and guides for like-minded individuals.

Living the professional life and working a 9-to-5 lifestyle (plus more hours behind the keyboard) just wasn’t for us.

So we handed in our apartment keys, gave up our rental and de-cluttered our lives to embrace our love of the open road and live the van life.

Who Are We?

We are Ella and Mason, a couple behind Tuscobia Trail which has an interesting story behind the name.

TuscobiaTrail.com is named after the famous Wisconsin State trail that we once enjoyed spending time in.

Armed with our laptops and able to work online, we live life on the road as digital nomads. We work freelance roles while enjoy beaches, mountains and the wilderness for the perfect life.

Ella works in interior design and her eye for detail helped us create the perform home that takes us on the open road.

Mason, meanwhile, is an IT expert with a range of clients around the world. It is a role that offers all the freedom we need.

We have been able to live our dream life on the road and we are here to share it.
