A.J. Forget is a modern nomad, living out of a 90-square-foot bus named Sweet Bea and traveling across the United States full time. In the autumn of 2017, Forget left a career as a wildland firefighter in order to pursue his other passions of cooking, travel, and writing. He is a self-taught chef, creating gourmet fare in his tiny kitchen with a three-burner stove and no oven. Forget wrote The Buslife Kitchen cookbook to show others that cooking international cuisine in a tiny kitchen is simple and anyone can do it, whether in a bus, van, RV, or boat.
Forget lives with his fiancée Ayana and their dog, Tori. When he does park for an extended period of time, he considers Boulder, Colorado his home base. To learn more, please visit TheBuslifeKitchen.com. You can also follow him on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok @the.buslife.kitchen.
Food is a universal connection point. Sharing food is the most basic and ubiquitous form of altruism and is often the first way that we meet new groups of people and new cultures.
