The past week has changed pretty much everything about our plans to start van life, so keep watching to hear about what happened, and more importantly, what happens next!
Oh, we also ripped out the sink cabinet that we quite literally JUST build in order to take a few inches. Turns out, making it more space-efficient in our van’s kitchen alley was a brilliant idea (because when you can hardly fit through it, surprisingly it isn’t very fun to use!)

We are a couple of full-time travel dreamers who decided to pack up our lives to explore the world - and then 2020 happened. After flying back home, we were not ready to give up our new lifestyle yet, so we bought a minivan, converted it into a DIY minivan camper, and drove across Canada in search of beautiful campsites and stunning mountains to climb. We are currently on a different sort of adventure, converting a Ford Transit cargo van into our new full-time home on wheels in hopes of exploring North America and conquering more mountains - and hopefully even the Arctic Ocean!

Bunch of great stuff to see. Rich, now that you got the needle I am sure you are wondering what you were so nervous about. My daughter got her first Phizer dose in BC and is getting the second in Alberta, it may take a bit of research to see how you can get your second in another province if it takes a bit longer for the second to become available. Looks like that couple of inches was a huge change in the kitchen and comfort is pretty important in such a small space. I am looking forward to you guys heading out west again. You will have to catch up with Foresty and Chrome once you are out here so that we can see my 4 favourite Canadian vanlifers all on the same stream. :)

Thank you, Bill! Rich did so good, but he’s been training his brain for months for this shot haha. We’re expecting to have to put in a little leg work to get the second but we don’t mind. The couple inches was a huge change! We should have done it in the first place, but live and learn, we’re happy we made the change now. We’d love to have the opportunity meet up with Foresty Forest and VanCity Vanlife, that would be pretty cool! We’ll just have to see what the future brings 😊

What were your hallway measurements prior to the rebuild and what were they afterwards? We are struggling with the same issues.

We had 13.5” clearance before the renovation and have 17 1/4” now - the difference is night and day

Are you only posting videos every other Sunday from now on? You didn't post one this past Sunday along with not posting one a couple weeks ago.

Life’s been a little crazy the last few weeks, but we’ll be back to posting every Sunday in the next month. The next two or three weeks of videos will be published on Wednesdays!

Glad to hear that you two have had your first vaccination. We had our first moderna in mid February and our second in mid March. Like you said our arms were sore for a day or two. Second vaccination I was ill for a day with like a 24 hour flu, but well worth it! My question is something that you 2 have probably been asked before, what do you 2 do that you can travel so much?

Hi Brian! We have a media/marketing business where we do everything from online ads to graphic design, website design/management, you name it! We can work remotely and have very supportive clients. We also saved like crazy for 18 months to travel the world for a year and never got to, so we still have some savings too.

Nice job you two! Once you are fully vaxxed you can come to the Yukon without needing to isolate for 14 days as of next week. My own van build is coming along pretty good. I love watching your videos for inspiration!

Why in the world would you want the vaccine? You are both so young. Are you concerned of long term effects of an untested newly developed rna treatment?
