Hi, I'm Laurel!
I love camping and exploring the beautiful places around Vancouver Island. I purchased Nova the Van from a friend when she moved back East, and I'm excited to continue her story by sharing this van with fellow adventurers.
Nova has given me the freedom to get outside, explore new places, and create lasting memories, and I hope it can do the same for you.
I'm new to the van rental world, but I'm excited to begin this journey and meet wonderful people along the way. I take pride in providing a clean, reliable van and am happy to answer any questions before your trip.
Send me a message—I look forward to helping you create some amazing memories of your own!
