    of all the vanlife channels, you guys are the most honest people who tell your story. Ame is young and a real solo traveller, unlike a lot of other solo female travellers (who are in relationship hiding it to grow their channel). It's easy to glorify vanlife like live free, live everywhere etc.. Anyone coming from a relationship deciding to go vanlife is doing it wrong as solo. Ame says it the right way, she stays in the van all the time, doesn't want to leave the van, and theres little to do. I think vanlife the right way is try to find a way to include yourself in the area you stay. Get to know people, mabye rent a spot for your van on a private property (doesnt have to cost much), this way van can stay even if you go for a few days in a hotel.

      Totally agree it's easier when you reach out to people and the community... you just have to talk with people and a lot of them will be helpful... when I was doing it with my women we would start just by asking water and that created already a connexion... they ve made the nomad life gypsy life difficult you have to work the system... peace out bro

    I came from Ame's channel and I have to admit, in all honesty, that I like yours better in a few ways. Robert's monologues are priceless. Charlotte cooks great stuff and when she speaks it's always spot on and smart. Plus you guys talk about the current local attractions. Keep it up!

  • @TheRampagingGallowglass75
    @TheRampagingGallowglass75 Год назад +15

    You guys/girls are trendsetters, pioneers & magically inspirational. So much character, brilliant humor & charisma just oozed out of your video that I feel beautifully rejuvenated, & joyfully charmed. And Ame's wit, precocity & magnetism is as enchanting & amazing as she is endearing (sweetly endearing!). You raised her very well! Such a lovely & dreamy girl❤❤❤.

  • @PazmanBC
    @PazmanBC Год назад +10

    I think the loneliness aspect from Ame's point of view is very sincere & accurate because she really is a solo female van lifer. You see many women calling themselves that but then you find out that a lot of them are actually in long term relationships. There's even several where the guy & girl have their own vans but they still do most of their travelling side by side. They have that constant companionship which makes the lifestyle easier to handle. Even basic chores are easier. In a sense Charlotte & Robert have an easier time of it in that respect. Although I'm sure there are times when they can get on each other's nerves like any marriage & then they're trapped in a very small space together. This was a very sweet & informative video.

    The moment I knew Ame would be a superstar on RUclips was when she flipped her hair & had that long stare into the camera in the middle of her van tour video. I had only seen her time lapse & one other before watching that video. I remember thinking this girl is freaking hilarious & she made me laugh out loud. I was hooked from that point. And I have several friends that watch both your videos now.

    I enjoy watching the family group dynamic here, probably because I relate to a similar situation with having 2 sons caravan with me for the past 5+ years. We travel and live full-time, roaming around in the 11 western states in the USA. We have a Van, a toy hauler travel trailer, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, and several electric bikes. We enjoy boondocking in big cities and little towns, and camping in county, state, and national parks, but we probably spend most of our time camping in remote off-grid areas. Its FUN watching your "family" VanLife videos because we experience our own family dynamics in our own VanLife travels. Love following your channels and can't wait to watch your next videos.

Ame bounces off of you two and you bounce off of Ame and anyone can see that really works so as a family regardless where that's all you need.
