    We are Matt and Meghan and we live in a van that we converted ourselves. Our main goal in life is to find freedom! Through our youtube channel, we hope to inspire others to go after what they want! You will see us travel the US and maybe internationally in the future! When we first started dating, vanlife was always on Meghan's mind but Matt wanted to get out of debt before committing. So we made a pact to get out of debt! 2 years later, we paid off $99,000 dollars worth of debt, got engaged and bought a van to start our journey! We would LOVE if you would come along for the ride!

    The really good New Orleans food can be found in our kitchens, not in those fancy restaurants in the Quarter. Also, the little hole in the wall greasy spoon restaurants have good food as well. I was raised on coffee and chickery, but I prefer Dunkin' Donut Coffee or folgers LOL Many people here love community coffee. You should have ridden the street car down to a bar called Cooter Browns. You would have had more fun there and gotten better food for cheap. Plus, they have like 200 different types of beer from all over the world.

    Pronounced, "Ben-yay". Yes, some call them French Market Donuts. OK, follow me here. Hold it up in front of your mouth, aim at your partner across the table, and blow powdered sugar all over him. Then laugh! This is a tradition.

We hope to see you all on the road soon! The only thing we are concerned about is the making money concept but we will be starting our own RUclips channel!

    Crawfish boil is definitely on our bucket list! We will have to check out Sammy's when we are in Louisiana. Food reviews are so fun! We had a blast shooting one for "Hot Chicken Takeover" in Columbus. Would 10/10 recommend if you end up in Ohio 😛

      There are certain restaurants that do it right, but there's nothing like an authentic home brewed crawfish boil. You get the good food along with with the good times, and good music, and good beer. If you have friends in Cajun country, definitely hit them up for a crawfish boil.
