    I have noticed that you both take the time to thank each other for the little things you do for each other. I can tell you, over 20 years of marriage and 1 teenager later that this small kind of consideration really matters. (we chose to have a few child free years as we married soon after we met)

    I'm curious how many viewers of travel vloggers are introverted home bodies like me, and don't want to do what you are doing, but enjoy getting a glimpse into a completely different lifestyle. I love my quiet home life and have zero desire to live in a vehicle or travel around the world constantly, but I still love seeing others traveling and getting a glimpse into other cultures. Thanks for sharing. :)

  • @EMTevjorgensen

    Remove the rear box and mount it forward of the rear axel. It compromises your rear clearance too much especially with the long distance from the rear of the bus to the wheel and axel.

It's nice to see how respectful you are of each other and thank you when you help each other.

    Louis, with all of these narrow streets and having to have Raya check for you and all of the backing up and hoping for high enough clearance with power lines and everything, makes you glad you're not a school bus driver for a living, huh?
    11:17 Then when it's raining, it's like a shower within a shower.
    13:08 "Back Box Damage" could be a playlist of its own.

    First of all, I really love the way you guys share your life, you are both so positive and honest, I like it a lot. But, I cannot help but wonder: how long can you do this living and driving in a van? What about the environment? What are you thoughts about that, I am sure you have, because of the treehouse and ecological/biological food growing and stuff.
