WHAT IS A PARTNER LOCATION?

Partner locations are community oriented spaces throughout the country that are working with us to create van life and nomad friendly areas on their land. By supporting a partner location not only are you helping grow our network of nomad spaces throughout the country, you’re helping to support a person’s dream of developing and living off their own land!
