Vanlife: Social Media vs Reality
Is vanlife truly what you see on social media or is the reality a whole different story? A lot of vanlife vlogs on RUclips tend to over glamourize a life on the road, and we're just as guilty of that. But is living in a van really what it looks like or is there more happening behind closed doors?
Our dear friend and fellow filmmaker Emma joined us for a few days to get a glimpse of what it feels like to live in a van (with three people!). She's sharing her unfiltered opinion about vanlife and how the reality matches with what you see on social media.

We spent over €50K on our DIY luxury van build. This might sound like a lot of money for a van conversion, but considering we do vanlife full time and we wanted it to be as off grid as possible, it's 100% worth it.

Say NO to Modern Day Society
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
It's not 'normal' to escape the rat race, to quit your 9 to 5 job and travel the world full time in a van. But it's how we choose to live life. We built a camper van and traded the rat race for the open road to break free from the trap of modern day society. We wanted to experience the raw happiness of van life, of a life full of uncertainty and insecurity. A life not filled with stuff and mort...
This Business Model SUCKS for Digital Nomads
Просмотров 3493 месяца назад
If you're came here looking for the perfect business model as a digital nomad, well this isn't it. We started our photo-and video business from our van, hoping it would give us the freedom to support our lifestyle as digital nomads living and traveling with our van through Europe.

Behind the Scenes of Beginner REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY

Take a look behind the scenes of beginner real estate photography in Italy. We had the opportunity to photograph a 14th century rental property in the beautiful wine region in the area of Turin in Italy. This was our first real estate photography project, so we were proper amateurs in the business. But as every beginner, we learned a lot and we had a great time leaving the van behind for a few ...

Do you think vanlife is overrated on social media? Check out the full video on our channel!
Loved seeing the many smiles and you enjoying (van)life together 😊 Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jente ❤️
😻😻 Wauw, what a surreal experience. Completely blown away of how you made this video!! To answer your question: yes I do think it's over glamorized, they make you kind of miss the point of the core essence of van-life or rather living a life in the entire world. It its a shame because it itself has become an ideal, like those beauty standards you see on social media or in magazines. When in reality, there are so many ways and every one of them is completely fine, as long as you it makes you happy. I think you also captured perfectly of how van-life can bring people from different backgrounds and lives together and connect in a beautiful way. Thank you for inspiring me and having me in your beautiful home!!! ❤❤❤
That’s what we feel too! People either associate vanlife with a completely stress free easy going life with picture perfect ocean back door views or either with being dirty all the time and running away from your responsibilities. It’s like there’s no in between, which of course there is like with everything in life. Living in a van doesn’t define who you are, it’s just an alternative way of experiencing life. Thanks for putting it so beautifully and joining us ❤️ we’d have to to it again!
❤

Do you think the concept of vanlife is over glamourized on social media? 🚐
I love this music and the way that you put the shots together. I just wish that we could linger a little bit longer on each scene.
Thanks!
So amazing 🤩
Thanks Pui ❤️
Hello from Alaska! We have the Northern Lights here often. They are very beautiful and magical! I hope you guys get to see some soon! You will love them! ♥
Would love to one day! Alaska is definitely on our bucket list 😊
Maybe sad you missed it, but hey... your Canada guidebook will tell you where to go ;)
That’s literally our daily motivation 🔥
Too bad 😿 I was waiting too. Next time will be the best time!! Can't believe what it must feel like to experience such magic ❤❤
They’re just keeping the best part for next time! Hopefully in less than 20 years 🙈❤️
nice video !
Thanks!
We also didn’t get to see any unfortunately, we were sleeping soundly that first night when it was the best🤣 luckily we saw them in Iceland, March 2022, highly recommend visiting Iceland if you can / haven’t already but we’ve also heard Tromso or the Lofoten islands are great to see them too!
I feel like so many people missed it! Oh thanks for the tips! We’ll have to make a plan soon to see them there 😅
❤
Maybe next time!
🫶🏽😍
Have you ever witnessed the Northern Lights?
I haven't seen the aurora borealiss since 1971, I never dreamed it would be so long without seeing them again. 👍
Hopefully we’ll get another chance one day, if not we’ll have to go more up north!
Did you not spray inside the ceiling support ribs?
You still liking it? Thinking about getting it for my van, but I’m often gone for 10 hr shifts
We mainly have it for our cat when we’re out of the van and have only used it for a few hours at a time. So far it’s been great!
@@stefandbo what’s the highest outside temperature you’ve used it with?

Oh dear.. new vans break very easily, hope the DPF doesn't break on you

That's the way to do it! You did your research and learned from other people's mistakes, then custom built your vans interior as you needed and wanted. You both are incredibly smart! Many people don't realize how much planning is involved to make sure you got everything u want, it all fits in place, give it the best layout based on your needs, all while not exceeding the vehicles' max weight. I'm impressed and I'm proud of you my friends.
Thanks Steven! Not many people get this like you do, that means a lot 😊
I don't really think it matters how much you spend. It's how much love you put into it that shows. The best vans I have seen cost nothing. That said that's a really nice van. You have made a good job of it.
Exactly! We felt we needed to explain this to share why we decided to go this route, but this lifestyle is possible in any budget. We’ve done it the low budget way before with a rooftop tent and had an incredible time. This van is built as a long term home with a different vision in mind, but with just as much love 😊
So interesting!! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks dear ❤️
Love it guys! That electric set up 🤩
It’s been a pain to install but so worth it! Thanks guys 🫶🏽
Useless inefficient product
Not for us 😊
Really interesting to see what goes into different van builds, you guys have done an incredible job - and it looks even better in real life!!😍
It’s been amazing to see different types of vans over the past few weeks 😊 Thanks guys! We loved your van too, it reminded us a lot about our earlier travels and how you don’t need much to have a good time
@@stefandbo Yes! We love seeing what other people do with their vans, its so interesting to see how you can have a similar space and end up with completely different results!

How much did you spend on your van build? 💰
Planning for the 2025 RAM Promaster. With the options I want it's likely 70k for the van. As far as the build cost.. who knows after all this insane inflation! I'm picky like you guys so it would be nice and expensive 😄. I might do a mini series showing myself building it. My biggest obstacle is the weight of my chosen appliances, such as the Vitrifrigo you recommended 😀.
Is his name Gizmo?
Yes 😊
I want to change my life. Thanks for sharing. subbed & 👍57
Just do it! Whatever makes you happy 😊 Thank you!
Wow!! Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. subbed & 👍12
Thanks so much! Glad you’re joining us ✌🏽
Is it only 12V? What about 48V?
12v and I think also 24v. ac plug is also possible
Beautiful video. Captivating visuals and an inspiring story!
Thanks guys 🫶🏽
Wow, incredible views, that lake looks amazing, we can’t wait to head there now! Can’t believe that fox came right up to you like that, how cool!
You should, it’s amazing this time of year with no one around!
