✌️Two things will unite people quickly: comedy and travel. 

This RV Queen is a master of both!

Charlie Grace is the founder of Van Life Travel and has been crowned as the RV Camper Van Queen. As an over 50 solo van life traveler with a dog, she has shared her story with a twist of comedy to becoming an empty nester and downsizing on her YouTube channel to inspiring others to find their joy on RV wheels. With the creation of Van Life Travel, her goal is to assist others on their journey to finding their perfect Class B RV camper van, giving how-to and travel guides for van lifers and getting them connected with the van life community.
