BIO: Jared grew up in the countryside of England, and his family owned a vintage VW campervan, his go to style of travel is roadtrips and feels that Japan is perfect for this style of travel.

Jared’s goal is to bring vanlife to Japan by building premium campervans and creating routes and educational content about how to travel via camper in Japan. Before founding Dream Drive in 2018, Jared managed a recruitment company with a focus on advertising, and is well connected with ad agencies and the creative community in Tokyo.

With the rise of electric cars/ and self-driving technology the automotive space is going to look very different in the next coming years, Jared wants to develop a new way to travel by building a hotel on wheels and then a new way to live.
