You're likely to see some familiar faces & make new life-long friends. We'll have live music, nomad games, contests & giveaways, workshops, dance parties, potlucks, jam sessions, health & fitness classes, and more! The road often puts many miles between us, and LIFTOFF! bridges that gap, bringing together like-minded souls from diverse paths. Here, the essence of vanlife transcends the miles, weaving a tapestry of stories, experiences, and knowledge, and memories.
