About Greg Bolla

Hi! Thanks for checking out the van and I hope it meets the needs of your upcoming trip! My name's Greg and have lived in Denver since 2015. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, lived abroad (Chile and Colombia) for a couple years, Philadelphia, then out to Colorado. I've always loved the mountains, and have been fascinated with tiny home living for a number of years now. I decided to take the plunge in 2019 and bought Vinny (my van) in Boston, subsequently taking my first cross country trip back to my home in Denver. I did the #vanlife thing immediately afterwards; it was nice because I was working and going to grad school so living in the van afforded me some flexibility to wake up where I needed to be that day, and I explored mountain towns on the weekend. Crested Butte, Telluride, Aspen, Vail. It was great and awful at the same time; there were a few nights sleeping in a Walmart parking lot when I had a mini existential crisis asking myself what the heck I was doing with my life hah. Part of the charm I suppose? All's well that ends well, I'm glad I did it, happy I'm not doing it still. Now I take Vinny out on road trips for vacationing/camping; a trek along the Colorado River was my personal favorite. I hope you'll enjoy roadtripping as much as I have!
