Nicole Antoinette, podcast creator, community builder, retreat leader, writer, thru-hiker, and now camper-dweller started living on the road solo this past spring-- but as you’ll hear, she has her sights set on a lot more than road travel alone.

On Fake Freedom & Relentless Self-Honesty: Nicole Antoinette

Do you want to diversify your perspective on road travel? &nbsp;Host Noami Grevemberg dives deep into the stories and weaves through the challenges, journeys and inspirations of the diverse voices who, often unheard, make the nomadic community great. Noami is a Black woman and a nomad who has been living in her campervan since 2016. She started Diversify Vanlife in 2019 in response to the lack of representation of BIPOC in the road travel community. In this show, you’ll hear from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and other underrepresented travelers at the many crossroads of the modern nomadic movement.

Bonus Catch-up with Brittany Newson

What was it like to travel in an era where there were little "Black Wall Streets'' all over the U.S. in the midst of dangerous Jim Crow laws? Alvin Hall, award-winning television and radio broadcaster, best-selling author, and renowned financial educator, transports us into that historic realm. His podcast, Driving the Green Book, guides listeners along his road trip with Janee Wood Weber to the historically Black towns and destinations featured in the Negro Motorist's Green Book, published from 1936-1967. 

Noami and co-host Anaïs Moniq explore the nuances of navigating life on the road during a pandemic, holding solidarity with the Asian-American community and how the Green Book paved the way for Diversify Vanlife to become a living resource for nomads of color.
