Hi, I'm Caitlan! My friends would describe me as human sunshine. I love meeting new people, traveling with my sweet pup, Scout, and encouraging other dreamers to take the risk and live the life of their dreams. I love visiting the tiny Texas town I grew up in and exploring new places, but after calling both coasts home and working in the retail world in both New York and San Francisco, there's just something about good ol' Tex-Mex and southern sweet tea I couldn't stay away from.
People ask me all the time, where did you get the idea from? How did you get started? Well, it all started with the bus. I had been wanting to branch out on my own for some time, start my own something, but honestly, had my sweet friends not purchased that school bus (and then a year later sold it to me), To The Moon, would have looked very different than what it is today. after purchasing the bus, I slowly started converting it. My first attempt didn’t go so well—hand wrenches are not the way to go when trying to remove old, rusty bus seats just FYI, but luckily I have an amazing support system that also happens to be very handy.
At times, To The Moon is a mobile boutique that features local makers from the Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth areas. Other times it is a mobile rentable space that serves as the perfect venue for product launches, birthday parties, art galleries, photo sessions, wedding receptions, baby showers, and so much more. I created To The Moon to be a showcase for the art, craftwork, events, and ideas of the creatives in my community. It is a blank canvas you can bring to life. More than anything, I always want both of my buses to be warm, inviting spaces filled with love.
