  • Come and have a look around our cabin on wheels that we've been living in for 3 years. It was a super low budget, eco van conversion that cost us only £1300 as we mainly used upcycled materials. We wanted our tiny home to feel like a fairytale treehouse where we could begin a nomadic, cottage core life.
    Let us know in the comments if there's anything you'd like us to cover in more detail about our home and we'll include it in future videos. We really hope you enjoy our little tour!

    We're Laura & Aaron and 3 years ago we set out looking for a simple life of freedom in nature. We didn't have any money but we managed to build this cabin on wheels out of scrap wood and drove until we reached the mountains. Ever since, we've spent our days exploring forests and meadows, and parking our little home out here, On The Wildside.

    It just never stops to surprise me, how creative humans are: this van is one of the most beautiful and wimsical, handcrafted pieces of art I have seen on YT.
    Thank you for sharing and safe travels ❤

    I think we all need to appreciate how efficient your storage system is and how you clearly defined and prioritised the most basic items required to just live. I would love to see more videos on how to lead a more minimalistic life!

    I am so impressed with the homes, both stationary and mobile, that people are able to create with limited resources. I realize that not everyone has the lovely artistic talent that these young folk have, but there is an answer here for those down on their luck, or just looking for adventure. Big pots of cash are not always needed. Bless you both with safe travels and lovely scenery.

    The attention to detail, creative choices, ethical intentions and promise of adventure resonate with me so strongly. Ever since I was little I've wanted a customised little adventuring van for myself so I feel emotional seeing it done so well and by such adorable human beans ^___^ I can't wait to see more
    Edit: I forgot to say what I'd like to see in future! Loads of atmospheric shots of the scenic surroundings, cosy cups of tea, what the interior is like in a storm, mountain trails with the curly doggo, art, music, local wildlife and laughter

    I would truly love to see glimpses of your creative processes (Aaron's music, projects like the tapestry, etc). Additionally, hearing van life tips (routines, recipes, designing, planning every day...) would be simply lovely. Finally, I wish I could somehow be with you on your little adventures (as far as you feel comfortable sharing). So, watching small sweet vlogs about some of the places you visit sounds great to me!
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.
    Sending pure love to the three of you in the van ❤️

    I'm from the US, specifically from the state of Oregon, which is a ridiculously adorable and friendly land (search for "only slightly exaggerated" and "John Oliver Oregon" and probably 60% of random "Portlandia" clips on RUclips for some disturbingly accurate representations).
    Somehow, I feel like you two would fit in perfectly here. 😂

    2. Sharing the names of the thrift/second hand shops you find some of your treasures during your travels!
    3. Go to guides on best and easiest places to travel to for van life, along with most challenging but rewarding / difficult not worth it etc. something like this would be awesome in a comprehensive video🌸🌻
    Lots of love!

    I'd personally love you to talk about your life philosophy that led you to live in this van, and how art has helped you form both the van and your relationship! or just anything about the power of love :)

    More creative projects and art stuff, what to cook when you are living in the van, more wildflowers and nature😍😍🥰
