About Me – Bex Rae Hart

Born into chaos but shaped by resilience, I grew up in foster care and eventually found my forever family with my incredible mum and two sisters. Life taught me to move, adapt, and survive—each chapter filled with change, challenge, and courage.

After becoming seriously ill—temporarily losing both my sight and mobility—I hit rock bottom. But that’s where I found my turning point. I discovered vanlife with no experience, built my van from scratch, and took to the road despite fear, splinters, and uncertainty.

Vanlife gave me freedom, healing, and community. I left a relationship that held me back, and instead of falling apart, I drove—alone—through Europe. I met other nomads, ended up near Morocco, and reclaimed my mental health.

Now nearly 4 years on, I’m writing this from the Orkney Islands. I live close to nature, connected to something greater. I’ve found my place. My people. My purpose. And this is only the beginning.
