ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.
Time is runnin` so fast...now it`s 2021, Corona all over,,no flights,no travelin`....nothing!
I was with my wife 2007/2008 for 6 Month and ´round 15000 k`s by Campervan in New Zealand !
No job,no workin, no fruitpickin`,no housekeeping,nothing like this`..just fun and traveling with our own Ford hightop-campervan!
One of the best experience in my life- and I have seen a lot from this world- with my age 60.. !!
New zealand was part of our 20 months-Worldtrip...!We did the right at this time!
We both love the Kiwi,the amazing landscape,the adventures we made,the 20 hikes,or to explore the sea a few times with a sea-kajak...!!

My favorite couple on the internet right now.. stuck in the epicenter of New York the two of you made me survive quarantine... itching to travel, but for now I’ll just follow your vlogs!
He reminds me so much of Pedro Pascal!! Loved watching this! Thanks for sharing!!
I heard New Zealand was one of the most countries the world . Looks like it was a crazy experience
But those crazy experiences are the most memorable
I think I’ll do Bali ❤️
Love, love, love your video. You guys make a great team
Love the honest way of taking us with you on this roadtrip. And being part of the adventure.
1st 15mins of this video totally proves you dont need a lot to stay happy and free... keep on rolling those wheels STAY SAFE and HEALTHY..
Love this. Gives a real feel of trip to New Zealand
Thank you both for sharing this trip with us. I throughly enjoyed the beauty, and your warm and friendly company. Paul. Western Australia
You guys are amazing! I just binged watched your videos!! I feel like your my new kids!! So proud of you doing what you're
doing!! I just love you both!!
This is amazing! Thank you, guys! So much helpful information! I love that this video reflects a reality of your trip, all great and challenging moments!
Great that you enjoyed your time in my country, we need more people from afar like you. Safe trip and stay safe....
Thank you for taking the time to make such an in depth video!! Fantastic work
Just discovered your channel while digesting every vlog about Queenstown.I really loved your vlog ,it was never boring ,absolutely amazing .Thank you and stay safe.
Hey guys, I just finished watching this in its entirety, so well done! As I mentioned I am in MN and to see your trip and you being such great buddies and well as a married couple, it was bittersweet. I miss NZ, (especially my hubs)but haven’t been home home (Minneapolis) for more than a few weeks since I left. So thanks so much for the great content and as I said before will binge watch your archives, share with all of the people that say they want to come down and cannot wait for the Pan Am RV trip!!👍😊
This is one of the most beautiful videos on NZ . So realistic and it makes you feel the wanderlust to travel . Everyday isn't perfect . Weather can ruin a planned vacation . This shows you need to be resourceful and go with the flow . Loved it . I'm now a subscriber !
Thank you both for the beautiful views you were able to capture.
It felt like travelling with you..I too hate the rains and can keep up at night when it rains. More love to you Finn. Six weeks is a long time to be in a small van and we could still see soo many smiles. Love you both for the energy.
I stayed up until 3:50 a.m. to watch the whole video here and it was such an adventure. My sacrifice was small compared to yours, living in the wild and weathering it all for good or bad. What a trip you took us on. Beautiful and fun! Thank you! Cheers from Canada! P.S. Love your positive attitudes and playful natures!!
If you loved caves you should have gone to the Waitomo Caves they are magnificent and you even get to see the fireflies on the roof, but a great travel blog love seeing all of your blogs you guys have a great outlook on life.
You two are just the best love you both to bits xxx
She looks so happy ❤️
One of the best, most informative, practical, funny, well documented pieces of information I've found to help with our travels later this year. Thank you for sharing the highs (and the lows) with us.
Thanks so much for the nice comment ☺️☺️
Lovin all your videos. Every day one video. Thanks for sharing
Super enjoyable video! Thank you for sharing ❤
Y’all have done a awesome job shooting this video! Both you are great.
Rewatching all your videos... again 😍
You two are wonderful to watch
Great video guys, it’s given us so much inspiration for our own NZ adventure at the end of 2020!!
Have so much fun!!
BREATHTAKING VIEWS SCENERY COLORS & BEAUTY !
Loved your easy going but frank approach to recording your epic trip around my home country. Sand fleas are the worst haha. All love for your ongoing ad ensures thru life 🥰😊
' Today is not that dayY!' -that's what I really like !! Please TAKE CARE during all your adventures -All The Very Best .
That was great, really enjoyed this video, your an entertaining team, well done guys.
I absolutely loved this video!!! It made me appreciate New Zealand. It is so beautiful! You guys are wonderful! 🌹
Thanks Diesel! 🥰🥰
Amazing. so beautiful. excellent guidance. love it.
What a trip. And what a nice video's. Me and my wife will visit New Zealand in november and december. We are looking forard to it. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't realize how long ago this video was released, but I wanted to say how great the editing & pull this video has. Couldn't keep my eyes off it.
yup, thought 30 seconds in: good editing, must be quality, I'll keep watching
That's funny, I had to stop because the audio was pretty bad - I had trouble hearing what they were saying. Still will probably go back to it and push through though. :)
Good job guys. I have lived here in the south island almost 7 years and you still managed to show me things I had not seen and different perspectives on some of the places I have seen. Loved it. I only wish the internet had been invented when I was so much younger so I could have embarked on a travelling career :)
This is amazing. NZ is definitely on my bucketlist. 🍻
I'm appreciate you guys for your work 🎉
Oh my goodness I really appreciate it this video you guys done a fantastic job of showcasing the perfect country in the world. Absolutely inspirational and as soon as this virus is over I want to get down to the South Island of New Zealand and have a look around to those views those Mountains the vibe I'm sure is amazing super super keen for the Inspiration
From New Zealand, you guys are fit, and you two, suit each other, awesome.
Great video guys
I discovered your first videos about 8 months ago. You do a great job, have funny personalities, and make entertaining yet true-to-life content. I do love it. But I am right now in NZ in Wellington, about to tour the South Island knowing that my itinerary will have to be altered after major landslides closed my route a couple weeks ago, and RUclips happened to be recommended your NZ experience. I was SO excited to see your trip, and so SAD that you missed most of the very best places! My family lived a year in Mount Maunganui in 2015, and my sons and I took frequent budget road trips when school was out. As a professional photographer, I couldn't wait to see you your reaction to amazing places, but I also know it is very hard to be on the road, on a deadline, and plan on the fly. Seriously though, you have got to give NZ another chance. I'd love to provide you with a better itinerary! But yeah, the weather... that's another thing. Keep up the good work. Love the aerial footage too!
Great video, worth a comment!
You are really good ambassadors for New Zealand. Thank you for an inspiring and beautifully made video!
Thanks so much!
I feel like I'm traveling with too I never see anybody uploading hour+ videos I really like this.
What a ridiculously underrated vlog and channel
Is nice to see you guys kept smiling and happy when you got stuck :) we had a similar experience but with a 7.2m motorhome stuck in the mud deep into the Caitlins, we had to walk a few km to find a farmer with a tractor, the farmer was super friendly and we got to experience a bit of day to day farming. Great video btw! Not even half way in and this already is giving me good ideas for my next trip :)
Thanks! Still can't believe to this day we managed to get unstuck. Grew up riding four wheelers and driving 4x4's....and I didn't think there was anyway we were gonna get that little wicked camper unstuck in that kind of mud on an incline. Finneys rock idea worked though and away we went. We did miss out on the whole "Find a farmer experience" though. Next time!
Just started watching y'all wow empressive!!!! Y'all are awesome!!!!
Well done guys because I haven't even been to south island I have lived in central North island NZ all my life I'm 38 now and watching this i think it's time to spread my wings
Hey Tim and Fin… so I have been watching you all for about 6 months and watched the NZ’land road trip last week. Wanted to comment on your channel, the quality of the filming, editing, choreography, and general entertainment quality of your productions…a solid 10, best of anything I watch. The emotional connections, the sincerity of the communication often touches deeply. Hope you all are well. Hope you can continue at some point, your filming and travels! ☮️♥️ good luck..
Aw thanks James! 😆
Great video and the last time I was in New Zealand was about 25yrs ago.Was there for 2 weeks and was one of the most beautiful places I have been to.My other favorites would be Iceland and Switzerland that I have seen with my daughter.Can't wait to see your other videos of Canada.Was able to hike up onto the glacier and also bungee and skydive in Queenstown.I'm not a thrill seeker but my never go back to might as well do it.
Great video! Loved to see your travelling and reminds me so much from when I was in NZ about 13 years ago! I've travelled NZ for a total of 9 months and in between went to Australia for 3 months as well. Was a great experience just after graduating uni and before starting my working life! I'm planning to go back and have a wonderful trip again (although not for 9 months duration unfortunately)!
Fantastic!! and the drone footage, while it is probably a pain to carry, really adds sooo much to the videos....great job!
An ABSOLUTE pain to carry. Chappie just bit the dust in New Orleans though....so it looks like we're picking up a Mavic Air next week!
Well done! Enjoyed non stop. My mrs and myself are talking about doing something similar one day ! Thanks heaps!
You are so cool, guys! I enjoyed so much this video!
Just want to thank you both for cheering me up and keeping me entertained, I’ve not long been diagnosed with a very rare cancer Called a cordoma , I’ve got a major operation on the 5 th of December after the op I will be-in hospital for two months so I can recuperate and learn how to walk again . After my stint in hospital 3 of my best buddies have arranged for me to go on a lovely road trip albeit in my brand new Peugeot 5008 suv which I pick up in March , all this by the way as soon as I can walk properly and pain free. The 4 of us are going from the uk to calais in France then to Dunkirk to see the ww2 beech landings then upto flanders fields.to see the massive war cemetery , after that we drive to East Germany obviously after we have spent the night in Belgium, in Germany we go to see Colditz castle which a
Was a ww2 prisoner of war camp ,we will stay in or around the town of colditz for a couple of nights . After that the mood of the trip lightens where we head back through switzerland Austria and the wonderful Bavarian alps where we throw away it he itinerary and just play vit by ear where we go and what.we do , so we are really looking forward to it all it’s just up to me to get myself better . Tim n Fin you have inspired me on your wonderful trip wish I knew you for real because you are a fantastic. Lovable couple anyway enough of my ramblings. Love you both to bits, always take care of each other , and Alison keep smiling that beautiful stunning smile .
Wishing you all the best in your upcoming surgery Jeff, and thanks very much for the kind words
Jeff, I know this was 11 months ago but I pray that your surgery and recovery was a huge success and that you got to continue your plans to travel Europe. Continued prayers that you remain cancer free for the rest of your life! Im a 3 time survivor with the strength of Wonder Woman💪 n let nothing get in my way. I truly believe in a positive attitude that heals us faster then any medication, and I wish you sir the very best! Happy trails✌☮🌼
@@timandfin Hi guys thank you for your lovely kind words , yes I'm doing ok thank you still a long way to go but I'm getting there, not managed to do the road trip yet because of the covid but still planning to go once this is all over . Hope you guys are well and once again thank you it means a lot xxx

Nice and beautiful higcing and beautiful journey.
Sandflies. ..Man & women would sit and just admire the beauty of paradise. Nothing would get done. So the powers that be introduced Sandflies to get people moving. Almost August now. Only kiwis travelling around now.Thank for the video.
thank you for a truly enjoyable and entertaining video. Good luck on your further adventures.
Thanks for making such an entertaining and informative Video! Taken allot of tips from it! :)
OMG First blog and in that I spent 25years traveling around north and south isle. Very little rain and no no people. How come!z! Wh ole it was 1964 and in the summer. I have enjoyed the trip very much and love Allison all 6 feet of delightful young women child. She has a rare character of pure joy and and a lot of apprehension which is good.. she is beautiful besides which is great. Linden
I just made it to New Zealand! Thank you for sharing such an incredible resource for backpackers! Just subscribed and excited to see more! :)
We have a New Zealand budget video if this helps for your trip! ruclips.net/video/_eG1ZuQzpUs/видео.html
Just wanted to let you know that I'm new to your channel and i'm hooked you have me watching all your videos and living my life vicariously though your videos
Glad you're here and thanks for saying hi. We were doing the same thing a few years back watching Karl Watsons videos!
Thanks a million for sharing your adventure in NZ. My family and I intend to visit that country post-COVID-19 hopefully next year.
I have been watching your videos from the start. I must say you are doing VERY GOOD, you are doing better than TV super star. Wow.
I made the comment on volume and learned about volume leveling on Roku so thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn.
Hi thanks for sharing Aotearoa with us ...sorry you had so many rainy days , its a shame you never did the east coast of the North Island ...Kia kaha stay strong
couple is so cute thanks for posting
You are so amazing guys
im going to subs. Nice traveling blog guys and the concern for nature. I am also glad that you have something that disappoints you :D
Absolutely beautiful. It makes me miss my home. I think you missed some of the great parts of New Zealand. Rotorua is every part as good as Yellowstone. Minus the Buffalo! There are three green and blue lakes. And further north the Waipua Kauri forest. I think it would have blown your mind!
You gotta visit the Ocean Boulders during low tide, several are 1/2 eroded Away creating a seat in the center, pretty cool!
Wow great video!
We went to a cruise to NZ 2 years ago and the star destination was a trip from Milford Sound across the island to Dunedin, with a stop in Queenstown. It was about 1000$ per person. The trip was canceled due to strong storms in the area which blocked the roads. They directed us to Stewart Island, which was breathtaking. Now I realize that weather can actually spoil the whole trip on these destinations. Anyways, you guys are amazing, we say hi to you from Michigan!
Nice trip...
Wonderful intro ....stunningly professional good job
Finally a vlog produced by non pretentious peeps. Thanks!, Love it!
wife and I were there years ago. Was nice to voiyuristicly revisit
Que hermoso video
2 beautiful people in a beautiful country. Cheers from Australia!👍👍🍷🍷
I’ve just spent the last1.5 hours smiling. Thank you both!!! Lovely lovely lovely!!!
What a great video! Very informative and entertaining! Will be very helpful for the NZ trip Im planning. Thanks for making it.
Thanks John! We put a lot of work into these. Hope you have a great trip! (And hopefully a drier one than us!)
TIM and FIN The work you put in to the videos really shows with a great final product! You’ve matched the soundrtrack to the video very well! I think Im following in your footsteps.... After April and May in NZ Ill be heading to Miami to buy a motorhome for a trip up through the Rockies and into Canada. It will be too late in the year to make it to Alaska but thats what 2019 will be for!
It sounds silly but the 6 week NZ trip taught us a lot of things we needed to know for our current RV trip. For example, while #vanlife is huge right now, we would kill each other if we had to spend a year together in that little space. Now, we can spread out and work like normal.
I like cockles steamed open then you add malt vinegar, and finely chopped brown onion, let chill in the fridge then enjoy (some like them on white bread) I so want some now. Cockles or Pipies both are nice I also typically let them spit any sand over night in a bucket of tap water.
47:08 Yeah it is :-)
You're being real Kiwis now :-)
very informative
You are perfect match❤️ enjoy doing the same thing together . Thank you for sharing 😊
Went and stay in North Island in 2019. Love the country. Perhaps, one day I can do a road trip and have a period of Van life, road trip as you guys did ❤
Just watched your live video....You guys are the best👍👍👍😁
Great video! Afther i finish highschool this year I'm going to work and travel there hopefully!
DO IT!!!!! Major regret for us was waiting so long! There are lots of ways to do this trip on a budget!
Oh I miss New Zealand.
Nice video!
Beautiful NZ
Lol love your energy. Only Americans call them red eye flights. Loved the hippie van. Reminds me of the 70s. So glad i stumbled across your channel. I see a binge watch coming on.
46:30 Suggestion: Next time, try driving to Glenorchy and chilling out there for a bit - decent pubs etc. and nice end of the lake.
Sunrise over the big tops is gobsmacking - I did that in February 2018, ended up sleeping on the bench outside the pub in my motorcycle gear - there was nothing available in Queenstown as I arrive much later than I realized... didn't get much sleep and even at that time of the year it wasn't warm by any stretch - but that sunrise made it all worthwhile :-)
lol the land of the long white cloud. End of January is usually better weather here. And I do recommend DOC campsites. (department of conservation)
hi guys I love love love your videos I am going to do the exact same thing when I grow up
This was one of the best doing the dishes video, many thx
Haha that’s what I do too! Thanks for the nice comment ☺️☺️ -Fin
@@timandfin haha yes. Doing the dishes is not the most fun thing to do, but if I can dream in the meanwhile that I am in New Zealand on the coolest spots, makes it way less worse😃
New Zealand such a goegeous land
