Marieke has been a full-time vehicle dweller since May 2021. She and her partner boondock year-round in Quartzsite, AZ, with their tiny pup, Tozi. Her roots are nomadic: from touring the Midwest on a tandem bicycle with her father growing up to moving cross-country from her hometown of Chicago to Seattle, then across the ocean to Hawaii, to living on the open road for a few years before deciding to call Quartzsite home. 

Marieke has a diverse background in education, project management, and community organizing and has a real passion for volunteerism, the vehicle-dwelling community, and off-grid living.
