About the Owners
Rachel & Justin Cave
Rachel and Justin are adventurous souls who began their journey with Nomad Be Happy as renters—and have since taken the exciting leap to become Owner/Operators. They proudly call Chattanooga, TN home—and wholeheartedly believe it’s one of the best outdoor towns in America. With deep roots in the outdoor community, they know the trails, rivers, and hidden gems—and are eager to share their local knowledge with fellow explorers.
With deep ties to the long-distance hiking and ultra-endurance communities, Rachel and Justin see the outdoors as a constant source of inspiration and connection. They’re slowly working toward visiting all U.S. National Parks and have enjoyed exploring more than 50 Tennessee State Parks—usually with their two Vizslas trotting happily along for the adventure. For them, the joy comes less from checking boxes and more from the chance to spend time outside and connect with new places, people, and their pups.
They’re excited to share their Nomad van with others who want to slow down, explore, and make their own memories on the road.
