    When you’re living with intention and you follow your flow life brings you to some unexpected places. Van life has benefited me and so many different ways and has helped me grow and evolve. It has also taken me to some amazing places and I love every minute of this journey and I cannot wait for the future when the cross country travels come to fruition!

    I had a friend who was a biking blogger, he would video establishments he'd stop in. He'd let them know he had a yt channel and ask if he could film the places, not people. Since that was free advertising for the establishments, they would offer him things to eat, coffee or tea, snacks, goodies, or items. "AL2SMOOTH" the mountain biker. From Augusta, Georgia. He was a kidney dialysis warrior. With a very positive attitude of life. His motto was, "All you have to do is try." I miss you, Alex. May you rest in peace.

    I started watching van life videos 5 or 6 years ago through Chrome and Van City Van Life. He is on the Canadian west coast and I love seeing things he posts that I will never see myself. I have been to Virginia many times, but I have never seen the places you are showing me. People may be watching from the far corners of the world, show as much as you can! I only follow five van life bloggers and you are the most recent. I'm picky, and you made the list! Thanks for what you do!

    Pretty good for a first... Yes, you need to do more... If you're not feeling comfortable because of the vibes at the time... You can film the buildings and surronding areas and present it like a slide show of sorts and do a voice over... Just a thought... Keep them coming James, you are enjoyed by many...
