ABOUT ME
Hi there — I’m Maddi, the traveler, writer, and comfort-seeker behind The Cozy Road Tripper.
This little corner of the internet is where my love for slow, meaningful road trips meets my passion with crafts and creating cozy spaces — even on the go.
Whether it’s a misty morning flavored coffee (or hot chocolate really, like those more) by the camper window or fairy lights strung across a car roof, I believe the road doesn’t have to be rugged to be magical.
📸 You can explore some of my favorite memories and photos — a little visual journey through the years that inspired The Cozy Road Tripper.
📸 A Little History
Road trips and camping have always been a part of me—part of who I am and my story. Every summer, without fail, the car would be packed with tents, coolers, and warm clothes, and off we went. Eventually, we upgraded to our first caravan—a Caravelair with no bathroom, just a small kitchen, some storage, and beds for the four of us—and we never looked back.
My dad quickly found his passion in restoring and customizing caravans, turning them from standard factory models into fully off-grid setups packed with clever, comfort-boosting features. He taught himself everything through trial and error, countless forums, and videos in languages he didn’t even understand. I was always there, watching and listening, fascinated and dreaming that one day I’d do the same.
Over the years, I’ve captured countless moments on my phone—blurry photos, shaky road-trip videos, and those little imperfect sounds that somehow make everything feel real. Each memory became a small piece of what led to this blog: a space to share my love for road trips, camping, and the cozy adventure lifestyle that’s shaped who I am.

🌿 Why I Started This Blog
After too many trips spent chasing destinations and being on the rush instead of enjoying the journey, I wanted a space to slow down — to capture what road tripping feels like when you do it for yourself, not for the checklist and saved time and hours at the expense of your enjoyment.
The Cozy Road Tripper became my way to blend two loves:
- 💙 Driving and camping
- 🌲 The nature (with blankets, snacks, and playlists included)
- 🧶 Crafts!!
Now, I hope it inspires you to take your own cozy road trip — not about kilometers traveled, but moments collected.
