We’re Nick & Raychel, and we want to help people open their eyes to alternative living, whether that be teaching English online, moving to Cambodia, taking advantage of working holiday visas, or building a DIY stealthy camper van to live & work on the road. Nothing is off limits when adventure is the ultimate goal. After three years of living full time van life throught Canada, Mexico and the USA, we're now car camping our way through New Zealand in a Land Rover Discovery 1.
Our goal here is to bring you weekly content where we hope to inspire you to break free & live the life you desire. On this channel, we talk everything from finances to minimalism to working online to mindset and post a weekly vlog of our daily lives.

I have been to Moke Lake in 2004 as part of a social mountain bike rally. I have skied at a Remarkables Ski field in 1988 (only time I have skied). But wow, I’m inspired to explore Lake Alta. Thanks for sharing your videos

Hey guys, would you be better getting a DOC annual pass? It's $195 per person but that's all you pay for an entire year. I see you've already been to several DOC camps so maybe it would be worth your while? I'm glad you are enjoying NZ - just wait until you travel to Lake Pukaki and Lake Tekapo and up to Whitehorse Camp ground at Aoraki Mt Cook (for the Hooker Track)!! Those places are the best.

Thought the intro was filmed in winter, looks nippy. We were there in Jan and traffic is bad, but compared to where we live in Bangkok so it’s pleasant compared to that.

It was so cold this morning!!! Oh my we miss Bangkok - we'd visit during long weekends when we lived & worked in Phnom Penh. Such a fun city.

why do people Vlog? I live in QT after living in many places around the world before the great internet take over, just get on with it. In fact if you leave the tech alone, you may even encounter a spiritual path. Your choice

I've been making videos since I was 6 years old and my parents let me use their VHS camera. This was after catching me, when I would steal all of my parents film cameras and use up all of the film taking photos of things I saw. I started working professionally in media when I was 15 years old, and my experience in TV commercials paid for my way through film school as soon as I turned 18. After getting my degree in film and working in the film industry, I decided I wanted my own creative outlet so I started documenting our travels. Now we make money from it. You couldn't rip a camera out of my hands if you tried.

I love that travellers blog! We have a motorhome (live in NZ) and I learn so much from other travellers, especially places to see that I would never find myself.
