Jordan Osmond FAQs (March 2024)
Van Name
His van and truck don’t have a name
Creator
Jordan Osmond (age 25) from NZ
The Van
Jordan has built a Toyota Hiace van and box truck. Personally, I preferred the truck!
Affording It
Jordan worked odd jobs and did a lot of the work himself to conver these vans, although his revenue from YouTube helped more in the truck conversion.
Making Money
Jordan makes money through:
👉 Skillshare sponsorships
👉 Ads that play during his videos
He’s a film-maker that focuses on life-changing and sustainable stories, so that’s where most of his income is derived from.
You SHOULD check out all the short films he has created here.
Collabs
Perhaps my favorite featured camper build is this one:
Strangely, it didn’t get as much traction as his other videos.
Location
Jordan is based in New Zealand but often travels to and from Australia.
Past Travels
He has driven through most of both countries.
Big Moments

Where to next? And why hasn’t Jordan posted anything for 12+ months now? Is he still living #vanlife? If you do have information, please reach out to Van Life Freedom so I can update this article.
Key Lessons
Jordan is a legend within the nomadic living community, and my key takeaways include:
👉 Use the resources you have available
