My name is Paige Pierce, I am a professional Disc Golf athlete and I have been traveling the world for the last decade plus competing in tournaments. In 2018 I joined van life to make this career more convenient, affordable and comfortable. I’m so happy I’ve found van life, it’s the perfect balance between routine and daily adventure.
Van life isn’t JUST for the explorer (although, I am that too).. but it can also be super beneficial for travelling musicians, artists, performers or athletes like myself. I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into Alyssa and I’s life in routine in our home Vanna Kendrick.
Is there anything we didn’t answer in regards to van life? Let us know if there’s anything you want to know about van life?
Let’s continue this conversation in the comments below,

Nice van love it , my dream is to get rid of my trailer and get one of those winebagos or thor camper vans ,
Really impressed with Paige's knowledge of the Van's design and system. Great breakdown!
Hello Paige & Alyssa. Nice work on the van, and hope that nothing bad ever happens to it. Alyssa, I haven't seen you in person since you and your brother Andrew were teenagers. Tell your dad i say hi! I wish i could still play, I miss the sport so much. PDGA #9148
Nice set up!
This makes me want to live in a van down by the river!
Thanks for sharing your home with us! Nice to hear all the thought and experience put into the home. Also, nice to finally see Tina’s completed work! ❤️
What a lucky photographer 😉. Getting to be with THE lady all the time.
This video was awesome! I love all of the little things that make the van feel more like a home. Quick question though: where do you typically park your van while you sleep at night?
Fabulous !
Maybe velcro earthquake straps instead of the little eye-hooks? They sell them in white, and you can cut them to size.
That place looks awesome!
Fixing the rattle on the Eye Hooks. Buy some cloth or Felt at Michaels or Walmart. Hot glue it on the anchor and poke a hole where the hook goes and no more rattling.
Great choice for a video Paige! After watching so many tutorial videos and "in the bag" videos, this video filled a hole I didn't even know existed. I've only been to one Professional Disc Golf comp. (The Preserve in MN this last summer) but one of the first things I noticed was all the pros vans. Its really nice to see whats in some of them. I thought they all had to be really uncomfortable. Now I know better. Its like a tiny house on wheels.
Btw, I made it a point to follow your card during that competition. It was a great reward to watch you and the other girls play. I really believe there is a well of untapped talent amongst the ladies of the world and I hope the PDGA focuses in on growing the female side of the sport.
Not only that, but the female card was a much more intimate experience. We were a smaller crowd and allowed to be much closer to you all. I hope that doesn't cause irritation but it made it a cool experience.
beautiful video
Interesting. One thing I would try to relocate is the water tank. When full it must be like 360 pounds of weight so far behind the rear axle. How much does it affect handling if it's empty or full?
Whats the sound system like?
Family member working in a lumber yard = GOLD!
I hope Disc golfers start getting paid more.
The way Paige looks at Alyssa is real love.
No van life vans actually look like work trucks. 9 outta ten work trucks got business info plastered all over it. Gotta get work. And they dented and scratched, because ya know, work. But privacy is important. Just dont fool yourself about stealth living. Edit: some random fleet info would add to the "work" look
Could you share a van life part two where you share your travel strategy that goes along with van life? Where do you park it as you travel? How do you map out routes?
Great tour!! Amazing setup you have. Looks so homey!!
One tip for the fridge. Always level your camper, in your case van, by the fridge. stick a level on the fridge and level the whole vehicle by that. It will make the fridge run more efficiently therefore saving you some power, food staying colder longer, and it makes the fridge last longer. My parents camper runs off electricity and/or propane and this is what my dad does with theirs. I hope to get to come watch a tournament sometime soon. Happy trails!
Awesome. I've been waiting 2 years for this vid. 🙂
You are an adorable couple 💕
The only real downside of van life is no showering, just bird baths in the sink if you've got one!
Don't know how anyone could NOT be a PP fan! Good luck all the year!!
Where does Nate sleep?
the way yall look at each other🥺
I'm imagining Paige following a card on that Segway, hilarious mental picture lmao
Some serious space-saving skills ladies. Very impressive. The only par that's unfortunate I think is the pull-out table. Whoever sits where Alyssa was sitting gets to not be the table clearer =) since she wouldn't be able to move while food etc would be on the table. Other than that it's pretty nice. I'm always impressed with these vans. If you can live for an extended period in a van, then a house of modest size will feel like a palace. It's also awesome to be able to stop wherever you like to. I have a nice book suggestion for you – Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck. Very nice book about rediscovering the country.
mhmm
Can I go on the road with you? Sweet van Paige
How many amp hours of do you have? Also what toaster oven?
Beautiful!
Where is your dog?
Shout out to cribbage yo!!!
Exceptional design and continual impressments!
Have you tried baby proofing drawer latches? They go inside the drawers.
G.o.a.t
Nice tour! Alyssa's pictures are amazing. The van looks both beautiful and eminently well-organized. I'm totally on board with everything except…..MUSHROOM jerky!?!? I don't know, Paige. I mean….if that's what makes you putt so well, then I get it. Otherwise….
Try baby proofing stuff for your drawers.
As someone who is obsessively in love with wood grains and natural finishes, that is the perfect vehicle. The beautiful wood gives such a peaceful feel that would give me comfort in the soul when the world is being a butt! Thanks for the tour, ladies. Super cool!
