We are Linnea and Akela. In May, 2020 I purchased our 2016 Ram ProMaster, Togo, to become our full-time home. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

Ahhhhh this is incredible. Thank you for capturing our adventures and hike that week. It was so damn amazing meeting you and I hope to see ya on the road soon!
Hej, I'm Kristina and I'm from Sweden, old enough to be your mother or even grandmother :-). But I follow you and love you, Akela and your films on youtube. I also have a daughter named Linnéa. Do you know that Linnea is the name of a small pink fragrant flower you can find in the forrests? If you didn't know- look it up- Linnaea borealis.
I wish all the best for you and Akela. Take care. A big varm hug to you two.
I may or may not have binged all of your vlogs on Wednesday... greatly appreciate you posting another one! They're beautiful to watch
Love the footage of you fishing. My granddad taught me to fly fish when i was a kid. Practiced for hours and hours in his garden trying to get the fly into an empty tin of beans. Then fished for trout in Scotland and Ireland with him. Happiest times spent with him.
Precious memories.
My grandad taught me to fly fish as well! We went fishing in both New Zealand and Alaska together! Great memories.
I seriously can't describe how much I look forward to your new videos. Thanks for sharing!
Akela and Paco would get along so well, love watching her jump into everyone's rigs - Paco is on the same jam 😂 So awesome that you got to spend quality time with amazing folks and explore stunning places. Excited for you to recharge and unwind on your own - fill your cup! Happy travels Linnea xo FnA
How fun! I didn’t get to meet you, but I did get to meet your mom and had a wonderful conversation with her. I also got to meet Brad and see why he is Akela’s favorite human 😜. Best to you and safe travels♥️🐞♥️
When coming back to CO from Utah check out gateway CO, and the canyons there. Go south toward telluride too. You won't regret it. Nobody goes that way.
I'm in chaffee county, last year hiked 10 alpine lakes all an hour from Leadville. I worked in Leadville office job for 4 years.
I got a van. Just my dog and I. Heading to west coast by November.
Safe travels. I know tons of hidden gems in CO.
You are so genuine, no van life drama here! Love your travels!💜💜
Linnea, I hope you appreciate what a truly amazing unique human being you are. When I was your age my decisions were all based on pure fear. I’ve been through some pretty shitty things and I had no trust for anyone. I was terrified to travel because I lived in “what if” land. Always expecting worst case scenarios.
Watching you I feel that inner child awakening telling me to get out there and do all the things I was afraid to do for the last 20 years.
I turn 43 next month and I live in my van most of the time now. Still straightening out the insurance. So I am going to live my dream life starting today. So yeah. Thank you for being so fucking awesome. Keep it real. It’s what makes your channel one of the best ones. You get discouraged at times but you shrug it off and move on. No time to feel sorry for yourself. I’m rambling now. LOL. Anyway KEEP BEING YOU. I think you have the potential to change a lot of lives just by doing what you are doing. Sharing your real self. Sending strength and good vibes your way.
I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more of Brad 😊. Akela looks like she just belongs in those mountains 💜
It's a beautiful thing to see the nomadic bond, a special family of creative, kind, and giving individuals woven into a unique and rugged tapestry that will only get more interesting to look at over time. I feel privileged to watch and feel the warmth of genuine affection you have for one another. Thank you for sharing. 💕
Its the gas pedal assembly messing up. Its drive by wire. Remove the plug on it and make sure the contacts are clean.
Liking to get your comment up. If others do it to, it might be noticed and your theory can be tested out.
I just have to say that I am really loving your content. Everything. The cinematography, music, fishing, the future unknown, and just the desire to wander. Love it. Please keep it up. Much love from Florida.
Brad seems like a nice human. I've seen him in Zep around the you tubes. And the story of Zeppelin.....Always nice to see your brother and wife. Love those Colorado mountains
Glad to see you back on the road. Take care and be safe.
Oh I coulda told ya about an awesome lake around monarch, not far from where you were at gutted! Spectacular lake and only 1.25 hour hike. Treeline, ginormous boulders, camping in the trees at water edge, and magnificently colored fish in crystal clear water. Hardly anyone ever there either! The place is absolutely stunning. I should go back over there come to think of it. Always wanted to camp there. Never have, just hiked to it a couple times
I feel obligated to represent you and source responsible or efficient shop to resolve all your car issues once and for all. Honestly you shouldn't have to pay a dime at this point and Dodge should step up and get you premier service at the closest dealer or shop or your choice.
Hate seeing the stress of car issues get people down, you're learning to cope and your story is inspiring. Just find the positive and dont let it get you down.
I love all the Folk and Indie background music! I'm going crazy with the Shazam!
I love the songs you use so much🥰 Reminds me of beautiful warm weather and hiking.
Not 1st!! Looks like a great time. Quiet time is a must!!!!
Akela is the most friendliest dog I have ever seen! I so love him! He is living his BEST life! Gonna post this on my community tab!
M check engine light has been one for 175 thousand miles.....ignore it. Really enjoy the vids
Akela is a huge Brad fan. :)
Your videos makes me happy!
You look happy.....again. love seeing you and Akela. Can't wait to see the footage from Gutted.
I miss you guys so much
TY for coming back I miss u and look forward to many more vlogs.
9:04 That smile. You look sooo happy.
Hi! I remember meeting you guys at gutted. See you next year or on the road.
you’re the first van life channel I’ve been able to really connect with, you make me excited to start my journey. keep it up ❤️
As you were in the driver's seat talking about the problem with the code showing up and so forth your dog is just happily sitting in the passenger seat without a care in the world. It just struck me funny. Some pretty country you were in. Thank you for the video. 🏞️
Funny heading to Sonoma in my semi and just got a check engine light, you jinxed me lol!
Awh, new friends and Akela is just too cute.
Beautiful!! love your videos and stories. And of course Akela!! Thank you for sharing.
Love your videos, they are so inspiring. A suggestion if I may. When you caste, pause briefly on the back cast and it will straighten out your line and stop it falling on the vegetation. A fan from Scotland
This is one of my favorite videos of yours
When you travel and your heart is full...you will never be alone.
In case anyone is wondering the music is from Ten Towers and the title is "In Our Hands"
Thank you. Loved the music
@@charbella Her choice of music is incredible. Be well!
Love you guys so much, I’m hooked. Your my inspiration. 🥰
Can’t beat good people and good times!
I think your dog is in love lol
Stay fit….and you look fit!
Thank you for transporting me….
Great, Beautiful life.
I recently started to watch yr videos, love them! A big hug from Panama, Central America.
You are the most down to earth person on earth
Please Stay Safe Always ok….Hugs and kisses to Akila🥰😘❤️❤️❤️
Thank You, it really was worth the wait.🍻
Today I’m leaving for my first real adventure in my van that YOU helped me build! Hope we can meet on the road one day so I can hug you and thank you in person! 💜💜🚐🚐 light and love
This is so lovely! Brad seems so nice!
So I always look forward to Sunday night because that is when I watch my PBS shows. Now, I also look forward to your video every week! It makes Sundays extra special. Thanks for all the work, beauty, and artistry you put into your videos. Please thank Akela for me as well. ;-D
Second. Was just waiting for you and Akela. Glad you're back
Ah…to be young and free😊
I had a bit Linea & Akela withdrawal, lol! But don't fell pressured, we are thankful that u let us see, some of ur adventures!
Thank you for making your videos. I can’t wait to be in the road again, but until then it’s videos like yours that keep my dream alive.
Tried not to cry how beautiful this video was! What a blast! Keep going!
Wow that lake was stunning! Too bad it only had 1 fish in it😂 love and positive vibes always
I've been subscribed to your channel since the beginning of your van build. I remember all of the ups and down you had during the process, and how proud you were when it was completed and you had accomplished your goal all on your own. Fast forward to now, and I just watched your van tour on the 'Tiny Home Tours' channel. It's almost like re-living small snippets of your build. The pride you exude in showing off all of your hard work is so nice to see. You're an inspiration by proving that if you believe, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to and can chase your dreams. Congratulations! (P.S. - A hello and pets for Akela.)
I sure enjoy your videos. You have the greatest personality.
I regret not being as adventurous as you at your age. I’m making up for it now at 61! Hope to meet ya out there one day! Be safe!
I couldn’t stop laughing at Akela. She was soooo happy just running around seeing everyone. The best ‘invasive species’ EVER! Did you look to see what insects the trout might have been eating? My fly fishing teacher always droned, ‘match the hatch’. I just like fishing, catch or not. That bloody engine light! I’m going to talk to my mechanic. This is so wrong on so many levels. Hugs from Canader eh!
Wow that's so beautiful. ! You make me want to learn how to trout fish. I used to go saltwater fishing with my Granndpa.
Thank you for sharing a great video, stay safe and well.
I Luv the Sand Dunes, I have family in nearby Alamosa & always make it a priority to go there for a day to fly kites and play in the sand & running water (if it's above ground). The Dunes are great for sledding too!
I know! This area is just so beautiful!
I think you're "Kinda stoked" too... so giddy you :)!
You have such a great dog. My girl would be growling at everyone.
Oh she does at first :)
Girl your videos are just the best! 😆🙌🏻
It was great meeting u at gutted….and I also went to Leadville afterwards, the mountains make me happy.
Smart fish 🥰
Came across you few weeks ago . And just love your vlogs . Am from UK near Manchester. We love getting out in the mountains and lakes up Scotland. But they are not like your mountains yours are bigger and more vast. But still love ours . Have a fantastic time. Love your dog .
looked like an awesome van adventure to the mountains on top of that you met fellow van life folks and made new friendships thanks for bring is along beautiful views up in the mountains.
Love your videos, Linnea!❤
Love your videos!
I am introvert/extrovert also (mostly introvert)😁
Please stay safe and alert with all the crazy happening. Remember you saying there was a creepy guy around and you moved in past video. So glad you followed your gut.
Akela sees to make friends really quick. Luv Your bids. ♥️
yay
Incredible and scary and amazing and beautiful....love your videos. Safe travels
Amazing video
Sad I didn't get to meet you but I saw you working :) Sunrise at The Great Sand Dunes was incredible. See you at the next Gutted!!!
By now, I hope your check engine light woes are under control. Is there a possibility that the transmission line to the cooler has a leak and maybe it's sucking air into the system when hot? If it has a small leak where the hard transmission line connects to the transmission or the other end at the cooler, it may be exacerbated after it heats up from driving a while. I hope the issue is done though. :-) Happy trails to you and Akela
I love you dog, Very beautiful animal. Does Akela shed a bunch? My shep mix does. wow.
Beautiful views.....safe travels....
I was just about to comment on how nice your fly fishing style looks when you dropped the “f-bomb” and had to dig the lure out of the bush….I think I jinxed you after the fact!
Great video
woah so cool to see your Solar Roast mug! i work there, but the one in dt colorado springs
Loving your videos. Your “realness” is refreshing. Keep on keeping on. 😀😀😀
What a phenomenal channel, thank you so much for living your dream & sharing it ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for another great video. Such beautiful country.
You have a content soul - a trait many would love to have!

It was absolutely wonderful to meet you!!! That was one of my top highlights of Gutted. 🤩
I literally dream for my puppers and I to be where you are soon. 🤞🏼
As always, thank you for sharing 😉
Great video you look like you had a blast but you know Aquila always steals the show for me anyway 😉🐝
nice-nice-nice/sweet/when you get water out of the lake do you boil it first or what-is it safe to drink/an is there a special filter to run it through/your not alone-you have a best friend with you-at all times-ha ha-yaw are so sweet together/thanks much
Stumbled on to your channel watching van build videos and watched most of them this weekend and I’m impressed👍🏻 love the fact that you’re flyfishing too so I’m hooked 😉 try to let your flyline stretch behind you before you make the casting motion forwards again, you will get stuck less in bushes.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing
You guys are so cool 🙏💜🙏
You are so inspiring!! ❤
Great vid! -- I really enjoy your posts, and your TikToks! They are the absolute best!
I have missed your videos. Glad to see you again and to know all is well👍
