Routes to Roots
США
Добавлен 28 фев 2024
Hi everyone! We are Tara and Andrew. 🥰 Our "Routes to Roots" channel is all about our journey into van life - ultimately in search of a place to "put down some roots".
We made this as a way to document our adventures and experiences for ourselves and for others to enjoy. We hope to inspire people, educate about what we learn along the way, and be as authentic as possible as we share our travels around the US. The vibe is a mix of van life, travel, lifestyle, sustainability, health, art, and our goofy selves.
Thanks for joining our adventure! ✌🏼🚐🌳🏠

BAD NEWS from our credit union | Don’t make our mistakes!
Soooo after all the excitement of FINALLY finding our van, we might not even be able to finance it...
What do we do now?! At least we have a few options, but it complicates things either way. 💸
*We have to either:*
-Open a *business account* to be able to use the auto draft check for a "commercial vehicle". However, we're not eligible because we are freelancers/sole proprietors and don't have a legal business title (LLC, etc.) or separate business finances.
-Replace our auto loan with a *personal loan* (with a much higher interest rate)
-Use the check from our *smaller, local credit union* & make up the $3,000 difference from the 1st auto draft check. Meaning we have to bring a 2nd check to th...

The search for our van continues…

As stated in our last video, we finally had 3 great van options to schedule test drives for - after all the chaos of the van search process. We decided that doing 3 in one weekend would’ve been totally doable, but Tara needed to be back in Pittsburgh to work on Saturday. So we squeezed 2 test drives into ONE DAY! We stayed with Andrew’s aunt for two nights, before and after the test drives. Tha...
Van search update | Did we get the van?
Просмотров 93Месяц назад
UPDATE! After our first test drive in September 2023, we realized that we didn’t have any financing options in place. We faced roadblock after roadblock in the van search journey and this update brings us to January 2024. We have learned A LOT in this process so far, and we want to share our story so that other people can save time from making the same mistakes as we did. Patience is KEY 🔑 Foll...

WELCOME TO OUR JOURNEY! * * * We are Tara and Andrew, and this is our very first video on our Routes to Roots channel. We made an exciting but informed decision to try out VAN LIFE and commit to the hard work and amount of learning it will take to bring our visions to life. Follow along as we transition from city living to a nomadic lifestyle, living in a self-converted cargo van. After much re...
Sooooo frustrating 🙄🙄
You could say that again! Right when we thought we had everything figured out, this happened.
We remember this feeling!! So stressful van hunting. We looked at over 50 vans and 49 of them were not as described or scams so definitely feel for you guys! 💚
It is such a process to say the least. Did you end up getting the 50th one?
@@Routes_to_Roots No, we ended up getting the 100th 😂
Nice ride🎉
Thanks ✌️
You two are so cute! Love these videos!
Aw thanks! It’s been fun telling the whole story and bringing friends, family, and new fans along for the journey. 🥰
