The woman who turns Airstreams into beautiful homes

Kate Oliver and her wife Ellen Prasse turn abandoned Airstreams into mobile homes. In her new book, 'The Modern Caravan,' Oliver explains our obsession with life on the road.
(CNN) — The ability to wake up in a different place every day, live and work in some of the world's loveliest places, and feel absolute freedom -- it's no wonder that many people dream of life on the road.
Kate Oliver not only succeeded in making van life a reality -- but she also turned it into a business. Along with her wife, Ellen Prasse, Oliver launched The Modern Caravan, a business that took them all over America as they repaired old Airstream camper vans -- a business built on the back of their gorgeous renovation of their first Airstream, Louise.
Now Oliver has published a book, "The Modern Caravan" -- something of a meditation on van life, profiling people who have restored their own vans, looking at their lifestyle and renovation tips. But it's also a guide to Oliver and Prasse's aesthetic, and how to achieve that DIY-style. Because, they say, everyone loves the open road -- even if we don't quite know why.
