Our Story
Building the Future of Life on the Road
We're a team of passionate travelers, designers, and engineers who believe van life deserves better technology. Here's why we're building RoamLife.
We Felt the Frustration
It started on a rainy night in the French Alps. We were searching for a place to park our campervan, cycling through outdated apps with 2015-era interfaces, conflicting reviews, and offline maps that hadn't loaded properly.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Apps like Park4Night served a purpose—but the experience felt stuck in the past. Static listings, no real-time data, limited personalization, and a booking process that sent you to five different websites.
Van life had evolved. The technology hadn't.
The old apps we were "forced" to use
- ✗Outdated 2015-era user interfaces
- ✗Static listings with unreliable data
- ✗No weather or route planning integration
- ✗External links instead of direct booking
- ✗Limited mobile experience
- ✗No AI or personalization
Tech Background
Built products at scale. We know Next.js, AI, real-time systems, and mobile-first design.
Travel Passion
Lived the van life. Explored 20+ countries. Felt every pain point firsthand.
UX Obsessed
Design matters. We believe travel tech should be delightful, not frustrating.
Community First
Van lifers are our people. We're building this for the community, with the community.
Travelers Who Code
We're not just building another app. We're a team that lives and breathes both worlds—modern software development and life on the road.
Our backgrounds span product design, full-stack engineering, AI/machine learning, and mobile development. But more importantly, we're van lifers ourselves.
We've experienced the midnight searches for parking, the frustration of outdated information, the joy of discovering hidden gems, and the challenge of planning routes around weather and seasons.
We're building the app we wished existed.
The Booking.com for Van Life
We're not just making a "better Park4Night." We're reimagining what travel technology can be for the van life community.
Imagine opening an app that knows your travel style, your van's capabilities, and your preferences. It suggests routes that avoid storms, finds quiet nature spots when you need peace, and recommends social campsites when you want community.
Imagine AI that learns from thousands of travelers to surface hidden gems, predict seasonal demand, and optimize your journey for sunshine, surf, or snow—whatever you're chasing.
Imagine a platform where campsite owners can manage availability, respond to reviews, and accept bookings directly—just like hotels on Booking.com, but built specifically for aires, campsites, and van life.
That's RoamLife. And we're building it right now.

About RoamLife - The Modern Park4Night Alternative
RoamLife is being built by passionate van lifers, software engineers, UX designers, and travel enthusiasts who understand the challenges of modern motorhome and campervan travel. Unlike outdated apps like Park4Night, Campercontact, and iOverlander, we're leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, real-time data, and modern mobile-first design to create the ultimate travel companion for life on the road.
Our team has backgrounds in product design, full-stack development, machine learning, and mobile app development. More importantly, we've lived the van life experience across Europe—from finding aires de camping-car in France to discovering wohnmobil stellplätze in Germany, camperplaatsen in the Netherlands, and wild camping spots in Scandinavia.
We're building RoamLife because we believe van life deserves modern technology. We're creating the Booking.com for campsites and aires—a platform where travelers can discover, plan, and book their next adventure with AI-powered route planning, weather integration, community reviews, and direct booking capabilities.
