About Alyssa and Torvic

Hi! We’re Alyssa & Torvic: parents, travelers, and lovers of the outdoors. We’ve been lucky enough to explore so many corners of the world, but no matter where we go, Maine will always be home. We love the balance of chasing new adventures while having a cozy spot to come back to — and that’s exactly why we bought our little van. It’s our home on wheels, the place where we can wake up by the ocean one day and in the mountains the next. For us, it’s all about keeping travel fun, simple (even with a child in tow), and full of those “this feels like home” moments.

We had a great trip! The rig has been converted beautifully and was easy to drive. Hosts were communicative and met us at the Amtrak station for pickup which was hugely appreciated! We would definitely rent again!

Thank you to Alyssa and her husband for making this rental process so seamless! The Drifting Buoy, as so cleverly named, was equipped with everything I could’ve thought I needed and more. The van is in tiptop shape, and that’s not to mention that the interior offers a sense of “warmth in the woods” that a hotel cannot. The roof deck was unique and ideal for watching the sunrise and sunsets. The van fit perfectly in the Acadia campground spots that I booked (including tent (no hookup) spots). Alyssa and her husband gave a detailed rundown of the ins and outs of the van before sending me on my way. Communications were efficient and timely. And I loved the ability to pick-up early and drop-off late (a small detail that did not go unnoticed when searching for a van)! Thank you again! I can’t wait to come back and rent The Drifting Buoy for my next Maine adventure.

We had a great time in this van on our trip to Acadia. Communication was very easy and the van was exactly as described. I really liked how tall it was inside as we are both around 6 ft and didn’t need to stoop over. Appreciated all the amenities and never felt anything was missing. Would for sure be on the top of my list to rent next time we make a trip up that way.

We had a great experience renting this camper van for our trip to Acadia. At the host's recommendation, we spent some time in Camden beforehand, and we're glad we did.

Amazing 4 days in Acadia with this van!! Supplies are super well organized and adequate, the bed was super comfy, and the van itself handles like a charm. 10/10 would recommend for your next trip!

We had a wonderful time in this van! Alyssa and Torvic were great hosts—very communicative and helpful. The van was super clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. The interior is beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. We took the van up to Saddleback to ski for the weekend and it was an awesome way to do the trip. Would definitely rent again.

The Drifting Buoy fit our needs perfectly! We dry-camped Rockport and Freeport, as well as Blackwoods Campground in Acadia. We loved the flexibility of being able to do it all - cook, clean, shower, and use on-board power - with or without hookups or campground amenities. The storage area under the bed also came in handy, it really helped keep our living area tidy. We would absolutely book again, highly recommend!

Thanks so much, Jordan! It was our pleasure hosting you and your family!
