Living in a van full-time for 3 years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! I've saved money, travelled to amazing places, and met incredible people along the way.
In this video, I'm going to share my full van life story. I'll talk about why I decided to start living in a van, saving money, and what my future might hold.
I'll also share some of my favourite van life memories, from hiking in Scotland to walking the peaks of the Swiss Alps. And of course, I'll talk about my plans for the future and where I'm headed next.
If you're curious about van life or if you're just looking for some inspiration, I hope you'll check out my video!

Hi mate. This is actually one of the 1st videos I watched. Since then I've watched all your videos. 90% over the last 2 days. I binge watched. Now what do I do 😄 I've just watched your last 3 year's in 2 days and its been amazing. I'm a fan. What an awesome, impressionable fella you are. I've laughed out loud many times. I went travelling after a break-up years ago. Met the love of my life a few years later. Went to the Swiss Alps as it happens. Amazing video by the way. Scottish, so I've been all up there. Now in Portsmouth. Congratulations on the success of the channel. You've come a long way from an empty Kangoo. I hope you keep making these videos. I've not commented throughout as there was too many to get through but I shall from here on in. Now that I'm sadly up-to-date. Take care buddy and don't forget to empty the yellow bottles 😅

I'm so happy you have gotten some enjoyment from my videos, that's all I hope for when I make them so that people can be entertained. I hope I will find my true love one day like you have to go on awesome adventures, thank you so much for watching. Stay safe! 💪

Hi buddy. One fee simple bit of advice to remember for next time you’re having a bad time, or a good time for that matter. You will never find happiness externally. Things, possessions, friends even the love of your life will not bring you happiness. To find it you simply look within. Until you can find happiness, acceptance, contentment and joy within you, you will have ups and downs. Once you find it inside yourself, every day will be as happy as the one before and the next will be.

Nice to see fellow van dwellers. I been in my van 3 yrs now too. U gotta be a special type of person to do this. It's the simple things, getting out in nature, saving money, not being trapped in work and free to roam that drew me to this. It's helped my mental state so much and I'm a totally new person and I feel like I'm in control of my own life.

I did a similar thing, lived in a van, in fact I still do while I'm at work. But I bought a derelict bungalow up in Lincolnshire, I lived in my van while I renovated it. Now I have a place to store some stuff and fix my van when it breaks down! I would recommend getting a place or some land, you are in the unique position where you can live cheaply and save money to buy a place fairly quickly compared to most. Nice video!

Youll get a lot of judgement of course when dating but remember what you're doing takes balls. You're doing what makes you happy and playing by your own rules which the majority of people never manage at any age. There's good women out there who will judge you on your character and not on where you live. If anything, living in a van will help you avoid superficial people who are looking for money/status/social approval and help you find someone who loves you for your courage and strength of character.

Mate you hit the nail on the head, the van is the perfect way to filter out bad options. There's nothing wrong if a girl doesn’t want a man in a van, they are entitled to their preference, but if a girl is accepting of the van from the start then there may be great potential! 😃

This is what I try to do every summer: rent a van, put a matress in it and go exploring. I did it last year and I did Scotland in a car too. Best trip ever. I will try to go France for a couple of weeks next summer. And you're so right... Having a sidekick would be great. I'm looking for an adventurous woman too. Some of the views on those trips and the mornings with mountains in the background would be just that much better with a lady friend for sure! Good luck on your travels 👍

Nice to see you out there still enjoying the van life. I first commented one of your posts back in September when I bought my peugeot tepee. It will finally be converted next month so trip down from Scotland to Midlands. Time flies. Yes you are right, we don't know what is round the corner. This year will be 4 years after losing my 1st partner and a year after losing my 2nd partner. Not easy at times but I push myself forward. I have campsites booked for beginning of May as a treat for my birthday. I will walk up 4 Northern munros so cannot wait. I would like to explore more this year and it would be great to share it with someone enthusiastic as me. My broken heart is healing and it needs time. I am grateful that I live in Scotland. Mountains round the corner, magic sunrises on the top of a hill, lochs, even just a simple road trip, peace and quiet, well apart of the midges 🤣 Happy travels and stay safe

Good idea doing the recap of the last 3 years and it shows just how quickly they have passed by. A few down periods but mainly fun adventures. Hopefully the events unfolding for all of us, won't affect you as much doing things away from crowds and all of the stinking bills, that those with homes have to pay. That will only be worse next year along with the other stuff going on. Enjoy vanlife adventures for as long as you can and it's been great viewing 👍

No fault evictions are rife as landlords sell up and I now await the court order and bailiffs. 100's being made homeless each week here and it looks like car life for me soon, as renting anywhere else is way too expensive.

Just found your channel a few days ago and I actually went back and have watched every video in order, really enjoyed them. I do find your attitude to life a bit refreshing, especially the tough stuff. I'm part way through converting a campervan, and it's taken me a year so far, no end in sight. I've used all my holidays up this year, every single one, just working on the van. For some reason it seems to take me 10x as long as anyone else. Getting there though. I started it because my partner of 12 years and I used to camp a lot, but her health is declining rapidly and now can't walk without a stick, so the plan was to convert it over last winter and be able to go on adventures again this year. Well that's not happened, we've slept in it 3 times so far. Should be done for next year though!

I moved to the UK in 2019 and got 2 jobs online developing code for a game maker and a content creator, between both and working 80 hours a week from home I earned an after-tax 1,000 a week, and my wife worked full time and paid our living cost 100% for 4 years, because last month we moved into the house I bought for us in cash 195k, still have about 7k in the bank, learn to code on my own, learn how to score the jobs on my own. Couples working together can do anything they set their minds on without settling for owning a van, not a home.3 weeks ago I quit both jobs and am about to open my dream thing, a food truck and food content, and do some traveling at food events across the UK, I am from Florida, and my wife is British. Living in a van is not an accomplishment, doing what we did in a pandemic/war/UK failed Brexit environment with no prior savings, I showed up in the UK with an engagement ring and a plan.
