Couple quit their jobs, sold everything to live in a van and now make money building tiny homes on wheels for others

Sara and Alex James may no longer live in a van, but they are still living "van life."

In 2017, the couple sold everything in their 1,500-square-foot house in order to hit the road in a van they converted themselves. 

Today, they have a thriving business custom-making vans for others who want to travel in style. To date, they say they've custom-made nine vans for clients, and are fully booked until 2022.

The two say they met on Tinder. While they had previously connected in the health and fitness sphere — Sara was a health and fitness blogger in Los Angeles, California; Alex was a personal trainer in Huntington Beach, California — they ended up matching on the app and moved in together shortly after.
