About Rose Maochi

Hello, I go by Rose. Spent most of my life on the East Coast and now enjoying the West Coast. Always fond of the great outdoors and found comfort in nature. My life changed drastically in 2020 and decided to turn a crisis situation into an opportunity. Purchasing a cargo van and converting it into a mobile home. Prior to purchasing I had no idea how I was going to build it out. During that transition time I was staying at an Airbnb in Boca Raton, Florida. After getting to know my Airbnb hosts they offered to help with converting the van. We were able to convert an empty transit cargo van into my little home on wheels in 3 weeks. I made several trips around Florida before heading West. Living and working remotely Bud and I traveled coast to coast enjoying beautiful state parks and scenic drives along the way. We found amazing spots to boondock and camp while appreciating the simplicity of Vanlife. In December I went on a short hike in the Phoenix area. Little did I know at the time I would meet my partner at the top of the hike - Lookout Mountain. After a couple months of dating and traveling together I made the decision to call Phoenix my new home. Bud brought so much joy to my life this past year and my goal is to share that joy with others. Excited to hear about all the new places she's going! To see more of my story follow @rideswithrose
