Yes! We are staying at a camp spot called Van Camp. they have showers, bathrooms, and a small private courtyard! It’s so nice. Luxury for us :)

It is! Thanks for the comment 😊

Thanks Megan! The Elf will be home soon and I’ll have to do the morning routine solo 😢

Thanks man! 😊

I know right?! I grew up in California so it’s all I know. But now, with how the housing market is and the challenges of become a homeowner, there is no way we could rent and save for our future home. It’s crazy.

I totally agree! Safe travels to you too! 😃🤙🏼

Hey hey! We’re heading south for the winter! Gonna settle in a van camp by the beach. Less moving around and more getting into a routine.

Wow, you know exactly what I mean! I miss my better half every time I have to go. And good point; when a company allows business class for 10+ hour flights, I respect that. It would be tough to sit economy for those long flights to Asia. Privacy is the biggest issue that we have, or more like autonomy. Alone time. Con needs her space, and this lifestyle doesn’t allow that at all. We are finding that challenging, but we wouldn’t have it any other way :) Thanks for the comment and sub, my friend! I hope you get a chance to explore vanlife if it draws you in!

Hahaha, true! And depending where you live in the USA, it’s not much cheaper either!

That’s such a tough decision. I’ll say this, it took me A LOT longer to build out the van than I thought it would. We loved with Con’s parents for a little while and that helped us save money for the build. But we stayed longer than expected. Denmark sounds amazing! Would you ship the Volkswagen over there?

@ yeah if we move to Denmark, we’re planning to ship the van. In The Netherlands the housing market is insane and you’ll get nothing. We found places in Denmark where we can have a house and a huge shed to work on the van with. Only… that means that we’re not settling in a van but in a house. Which could be good because then we already have a beautiful house before those get expensive there too. It also means, more expenses and less freedom to travel… I guess I’ll see what will happen and shouldn’t worry about it too much. I’m 23 and still got a lot of shit to figure out hahaha. I’m really happy for you guys that you guys are doing the things you love and get to experience so much beauty in your life. I wish you, Con an both your families so much happiness. ♥️

@@alohaalia1091 wow, hearing your story, it sounds like I’m listening to myself. I feel the same way (although I’m not as young as you, haha). Every choice we make leads us in a certain direction. But more than that, every choice we make defines who we are and who we’ll become. You have a tough decision to make, but trust your gut. Don’t let fear influence your choices. Listen to your intuition and you’ll make the right choice. And remember, both are great options with unique benefits! Thank you for the good vibes and good wishes! I wish you two the same. I look forward to hearing what you decide to do! 😊❤

@ thank you, I’ll try to remind myself of your wise words. I’ll definitely update you when we made our decision and how it goes!☺️✨

@@alohaalia1091 I look forward to it! I’m excited for you, my friend! Good things are coming your way :)

I’ll make another video including that this week! Thank you for the comment and for subscribing!

more importantly, compare the size. a van is barely big enough for a bed and some storage.

We’d have a hard time comparing it to anything else because we haven’t lived in an “average” neighborhood. We’d just be speculating at that point.

I hope you’re able to fulfill your dream! I’d love to travel around Australia. I heard it’s beautiful!

😂. Right?!

Thank you! ❤️

You're assuming they are storing an apartment's worth of furnishings etc. They obviously sold off pretty much everything that wouldn't go in the van. Even if they paid storage it wouldn't be that much for those two boxes.

@@pdxyyz4327 exactly! We sold and gave away everything that we owned. And we just stashed the two boxes in Con’s parent’s garage. They were kind to let us leave the memorabilia.

Haha, right?! I guess when the average American can’t buy a house…

Really?! I haven’t looked at pricing recently. Do we need to change our plan? That is what it has cost for the roaming plan .. Has pricing been updated?

@@conandal hi, I hadn't thought of it being roaming so maybe I'm wrong. I pay €35 a month in Spain for starlink at an off-grid property, it was a higher price but they reduced it automatically. Apologies if I mislead you but I know that prices have changed a lot here over the past year so it might be worth checking.

@@MsAlibalibee thank you! I’m going to check prices today. They are constantly changing since there is no contract with Starlink. Thanks for the reminder to stay vigilant!

Hahaha, I’m serious, and don’t call me Shirley haha :)

Public libraries are gold mines! If we are taking calls, it’s challenging, but if we are just working on a project, a public library has wifi, bathrooms, water fountains, and kind employees. Otherwise, we’ll park in shade at a park, or anywhere that has good hotspot reception. I prefer to tether to my phone for zoom calls, over Starlink. Thanks for watching! And good luck on your adventure! Such a great move my friend!

This one is almost the same. But also good!

@conandal I'm asking if u have any online stores where i can buy this vest, i need exactly like this one

@@rishi_dutta394I bought it online at Amazon. But I can’t find the exact same one anymore. I’m sorry :(

Thank you! 😊

You’re so kind! We went through Nashville, missed Memphis, regrettably. Our plan is to head back in the spring!

Thank you for the good advice! 😊

Robert, live your dreams while you can!

Thank you! 🥰

We do! We have a shower in the van. We also shower at the gym whenever we exercise. I made a video on how we shower if you wanna check it out :) thanks for watching my friend!

@conandal ok

​@@conandal I want a van with a show and toilet. That's very important.

@@coastskyadventures2752 I agree. The shower is our number one priority. But we’ve found that there are so many toilets in the community that we can use, like when we are grocery shopping or buying from Home Depot. Or working at a public library.

Haha! 🫶🏽. We are headed to Baja for December and January! We may even stay down there longer if we get our property in our name! 🥳

Haha that’s a good question. Probably do what we normally do and run 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ahh a man of culture

How many people have been saved by tesla autopilot smalling in brakes or diverting course faster than a human. I'm not a fan of tesla but I cant deny that their autopilot and obstacle avoidance is impeccable

You’re gonna freak when you hear how many die from driving regular cars.

In years and years? I'd say that's better than the thousands every year.

the taxi drivers are already replaced with uber

@chainsawman1628 you missed the point dude but I'm can understand, you are a ignorant American.

Thanks Wheaty! ❤😊

I agree. I think I’m gonna route the overflow outside…… but I’m on the fence!

Back flow prevention valve, awesome! Trying to fix this while on the road is tough. I need to find a Home Depot with a PEX crumping tool. It’s hard to get Amazon packages on the go.

@@conandal yea i was thinking about that, those usually require a minimal pressure to operate. you may want a similar device meant for air..i think they call them check valves

@@ZelosZelothank you for the help!

Thank you!
