Very nice videos you make. Such a lovely couple. I have seen the videos from Bodø and to this. I live in Bodø and I am from Lofoten. You passed my birth place :) I like the way you present our places. It is accurate and you get the knowledge about the places correct. Very good work! Hope you get safely back home eventually!
In the grand scale of things, I have to say folks, that's not bad at all, considering a good bulk of that was the repair to van. Obviously at the minute we are being shafted everywhere with price of fuel too. So well done you are doing rightly 👍👍
Norway can be expensive. Yes. But you can save so much if you want. Water is free. Kiwi, Joker, Meny, and Spar sell First Price products. They are cheaper! Cheap coke for around 10kr etc. Coop Extra, Coop Mega, Coop Prix etc got Xtra products. They are also cheaper. Rema 1000 also got cheaper products. Also. I saw you visit Bergen. When visiting the "bigger" towns in Norway. Make sure to visit Pakistani/Foreign stores. They sell fruits and vegetables at half of the price in the Norwegian grocery stores. A lot to save there! Also. You might have noticed it in the Norwegian grocery stores. There's always a 30% to 50% part where they sell food that is almost out on a date. You can save a lot by checking that. I am buying it as a Norwegian too. So, buying groceries doesn't need to be that expensive. You just need to know where to look. Also. Do not throw out your soda bottles. You can get lots of NOK back by giving them back to the stores. Love your videos. Safe journey :)
A tip for the coffee: Circle K have a subscription included with their reusable cups, valid for the year - I think mine worked out to about £30 but that is for unlimited hot drinks at all of the Circle K gas stations. I bring my cup to Norway every time I go now :)
Iz, you crack me up!! Seriously though the price of fuel globally is making camper van and RV holidays prohibitively expensive. Where I live in the Brecon Beacons there are noticeably less vans & RVs on the roads compared to last year. The cost of 1 litre of unleaded petrol here in Wales is anywhere between £1.84 to £1.92 a litre, and rising.
Yeah it’s maybe not the best time to plan our most driving intensive road trip to date, haha. Hopefully things level out soon, how much higher can it go
@@LostInTransit considerably higher and won't ever come down. we are in for a very rough time. My advice, pick a nice spot for the winter, like North Coast of Ireland, park up for a few months and save fuel
@@davidlong8217 I spent most of my life living in a van, longer than this young lady has been alive, mostly touring europe, of course it wasn't called van life before You Tube, just dirty freedoading scumbag hippies. finding a great winter park ups is the secret sauce only spoken of in the vaguest possible terms round the campfire. We guard them carefully and rarely share. . 2 people one tiny I'll equipped poorly ventilated van over winter in ireland, not a great idea at all, Portugal is the most common wintering spot, brexit probably spoiled that.
If you're single you don't even really need a camper van, you can live this kind of life out of a beat-up old toyota sedan. Just make sure it's possible to recline the seats very far back and you're set.
That's not that bad. The only thing that shocked me was the fuel, but your van is quite a large vehicle, and especially in Norway the gas isn't cheap. As far as groceries goes, I'm super impressed. I can, and probably do, easily spend that alone per week. I have definitely gotten some motivation to keep track and try to get closer to your number. Very interesting to hear about the economy behind the videos, and super impressive to keep everything but fuel so low. And fuel is kind of a constant variable here.
Yeah it will be interesting to see how it compares to Eastern Europe, I think we will be able to get it much lower there. Groceries but also we will be travelling a lot slower so not using as much fuel, we will have to do a second video after a month there
@@incogneeto2418 Zero cost is probably not accurate. But you're right that what we save by the lower living expenses etc abroad does help a lot when going camping. Some of the money saved in lower food prices, fuel prices etc means that some vacations are really cheap, only slightly above the cost of just staying put.
paypal link in the description, for anyone feeling generous! My opinion - who asked me? well I am an elderly grandma type - The total sounds like a lot but food came in very low, repairs had to be done and it is Norway. Hope you remember it as the trip of a lifetime. Your Irish trip would not have been complete without GAA and Guinness❣
I dread to think how much we spent in Ireland, haha, but worth every penny. Loved the GAA and the Guinness. We thought it was a lot as well, but hopefully in Eastern Europe with slower travel, cheaper groceries and no breakdowns 🤞 we will get it quite a bit lower
Hi, Finances look drastic when totaled up like that but I think you are doing really well, and you couldn,t cut back any more. Great to see you living a great life, seeing such a beautiful country and sharing with us. Have a great day and take care.
In Sweden all yellow ferrys are completly free, the only ferrys to pay for are those that goes to another country! Diesel is really expensive now, I saw something above SEK27 yesterday, so you' figure out if filling up is better done before the bordercrossing?
It is not only Circle K that have that deal here in Norway. Shell and YX have this also and they all cost about the same and you can have free coffee or other warm to drink for the rest of that year you buy the cup. I believe they also have that deal on this stations in Sweden and maybe Finland also.
Jealous of the ferry charges, LOL, I live on the Isle of Wight, without the Camping and Caravan Club discount it would cost in excess of £200 return for my 7mtr motorhome
I guess the fuel and breakdown costs are a large part of your living expenses, but as you say that is instead of running a house. So it’s working out about £100 a day to live. Wow, it’s so difficult to keep costs low even with being as frugal as you are with food and drink. Thank goodness for free parking/wild camping. I imagine that differs greatly from country to country depending on the local laws though ?
Izzy & Tom I actually don't think that's too bad. Yes it's a lot of money but when you realise what you have/are achieving and the memories that you have from these experiences I think it's a small price to pay? Fuel is way over priced currently and we are all suffering, the wheel bearing issue was just bad luck & could happen at anytime to anyone. We spent just over two weeks touring Scotland in our motorhome staying in campsites and had only two meals out ( Stonehaven & Garlieston) and that cost us £1097.64 for everything.
Stupidly I tried to resist watching when RUclips suggested your videos because I didn’t know if I wanted to add another travel channel to my list as I don’t always get around to seeing everything, but my love for Norway caved in and now I’m glad I did because the videos I’ve seen so far have been great, and you humans seem wonderful too. So many amazing places to see in Norway.
Hi Tom, hi Iz, well, next time you go to Norway again you will be better prepared for sure. Regarding cost reductions: Most of your groceries you will buy in Germany(except those you are not allowed to bring in such as eggs, raw potatoes; informe yourself about the customs allowances). Driving to Denmark and taking the ferry from Helsingör to Helsingborg Sweden which is much cheaper using a ferry direct to Norway(except from Hirtshals in Denmark to a norway port or actually the ferry from Frederickshavn with DFDS to Oslo). Actually you can buy a cup and coffee at a circular K petrol station and get a free refill on all other stations of Circular K. Regarding toll roads which you cant avoid and also inland ferries you get huge discounts on most when you have an account on AutoPass coin, chip and later you connect with so called ferjekord. For details informe yourself(first autopass, wait a week for ferjekord order and than connect both via internet in case it didtn happen automatically) Actually the prices for fuel are skyrocket in Norway as well, whereas the exchange rate to Euro is still quite good(1€=10,2NOk and 8 years ago 1€=bit more than 7NOK only) Dont change for cash at home cos, mostly pay by visa card even small amounts and get some cash in Norway via ATM. Have a nice drive to Estonia. REMA1000 or 2000, Bunpris and Kiwi are less expensive than CO-OP. Before you leave try to taste Smash, Freia chocolate and get the Sitronpepper from the brand HINDU (only to find at Kiwi stores or even Best petrol stations) All of them are worth to try
Thank you soo much, very interesting the cost! We watch you every night, thoroughly enjoy you both!! We have an old converted 22 year old school mini bus! My husband Mark has done a lot to it! I enjoy it!! We live in N. IRELAND, WILL Beheading south soon where I am originally from. We love your sense of humor Is!! Love Mary-Lou and Mark
Well, you did it great for Norway. I am also surprised that you did not spent more money on food. Do not expect lower prices for fuel in Eastern Europe, it is about the same. But Norway is worth that money. The most beautiful country in Europe. I am planning a much more expensive fortnight trip there, and that will be enough for a lifetime.
Oh my goodness, and the cost includes only one campsite!! Shame about the wheel bearing, that didn’t help either. Fuel cost these days is everywhere, we were asked to pay up front in France, that tells you how many people have driven off without paying. The sights you have seen do compensate but I know what you are saying. Well done Iz for showing the stats. Cheers Mike🍷🍷
Kia ora guys, lucky you weren't travelling in Switzerland one of the most expensive ranked countries in the world the price you pay for being landlocked I guess it amazes me how you guys over there (Europe) can drive through multiple countries, coming from New Zealand we can only obviously lay claim to being a country where ocean views are our only borders and not a shared landmass if that makes sense, but that's the beauty no neighbours to throw rocks at us and everyone speaks english..lol cool and informative info guys love your channel much lov frm new Zealand❤️🇳🇿💯🥰 to
They say that to be at your best in a stressful situation, wait until your bursting for a pee and you'll do better. Going by that video I think that might be Isabel's approach.
Hi yes reading other comments the price of fuel for everyone is wild & for you guys just doesn't help you at all going on adventures...I am hoping everyday fuel prices will come down. I have wondered a few times what your costs are food etc...you are not extravagant at all & that food is for TWO people as well! Interesting about the price of a pint etc pretty expensive compared to Ireland. It was a shame about the wheel bearing that time but your van serves you well take care, you are both BRILL...xx
If you go to a grocery shop i can recommand Kiwi and they have food who are almost 50% cheaper if you choose First Price food in the shop eks egg a 12 pack cost almost 50% less than Prior eggs same for meat it is much cheaper i only buy this my self, and it is tons of more food they sell so shoose First Price. And for the diesel prices dont run the car to you "Must" fill up the tank the prices change every day almost some days it is 27 kroner pr litre next day it can be 20 kr pr litre it is never the same each day. And NEVER fill up in a Cirkle K station they are allvais the most expensive!! The best is to use those small petrol stations with no service also it have only two pumps 1 for diesel and 1 for gasoline! And thanks to the free camping in Norway you can avoid camping places and park free where ever you want almost, but for the loundry and a shower it is ok now and then to use a camping place though!
And I'm all caught up! A little sad I managed to catch up just as you are leaving our country, but that's how it goes. It's a brilliant vlog series and you still seem in (mostly) high spirits despite the hurdles you've crossed. It's a joy to see and I hope your future travel days will be just as delightful. Considering your budget I dunno the likelihood you'll decide to explore southern Norway, but I'll be on the lookout. Would be great to catch you near Oslo where I live :D I truly hope you'll be able to land some more sponsors to help you out with travel expenses. You may be new to the game, but your quality is great already ^^
That's crazy amount. I know the breakdown was a big unexpected hit. Plus the price of fuel has gone up in price everywhere. The slight upside to the fuel increase makes fuel prices in Norway seem normal.
The only way to tour Norway is to live there and earn those huge salaries for doing more or less nothing. Or, be rich! PAl of mine got a menial job in Oslo...10 years later hes building his 3rd house in Croatia! And, hes bought his daughter a flat !
How much would you recommend for 3 months on the road in the UK (continuous)? I've got a 3 month sabatical and hitting the road in my converted Berlingo. She's called Cleo :') I've got plenty of savings, but I don't want to bust through the whole lot! xx
Cost in transit. Quite interesting. Please, dont save on food. You must eat well, to feel/function well. Wish you would make a film about found in transit. What is found in transit, for each of you, personally. Does it make you happy? Do you get to come to better terms with yourself? Does it alter the way you see other people? Does it change the way you see routine everyday life? Does it strengthen your realasionship? Did it change you?
Isobel, I am sure I missed what internet cost you. I checked back but I think you might have forgotten?? Otherwise, barring the cost of Diesel I think its kind of amazing.
Yeah we actually forgot to go over it. Our internet situation is not ideal. We were going to get a Norwegian sim but it worked out similar per Mb so we just used roaming and buy a “data passport” from three every few days so we can batch upload videos. We spent almost £90, hopefully we can get a new sim once we get into Eastern Europe
Really interesting insight to costs. Think you guys have done very well & don’t think you could have saved much more. You thought about a patreon page of some kind for whilst your out on the road?
That's actually not bad at all, for a full month of travel you spend very little on food and camping, amazing job finding all the lovely little spots to stay for the night. What's your plan on the journey home, will you be taking ferry or driving through Eastern and Central Europe? 🤔
No plans to head home yet, need to get out of the Schengen area before the 90 day rule so think we might be heading into south east Europe and make this a very long trip on the continent
@@LostInTransit oh that's right, well, if you'll be travelling through Poland or Czech Republic there's a few places I would recommend, also Croatia - so beautiful! Anyway, hope all your travels to Estonia and further on will go easy and safe for you guys 😊 cheers from Ireland ☘😉
Great info, thanks a lot, currently building my van. Fuel: is your van petrol or diesel ? I presume diesel. What is your average fuel consumption (miles per gallon or liters per 100km). That would help me estimate my fuel cost.
I think travelling through Norway is like when you go to Iceland EXPENSIVE! You were unlucky that the breakdown didn't happen in France or Germany you would payed al least 50% less.Anyway you have the best memories ever.
you forgot the2074 charity shop visits lol for the things you seen i say thats a bargain,and your channel subs has been going crazy so hope you reap the rewards
@@deekayunited3445 fuel prices fluctuate with as much as 50p a day here now. Googling prices I see that some lists do not include the sales tax of 25%, and some do. But the main factor in the price is the international market, so any holiday anywhere with a lot of driving will be expensive this year.
OMG!!!! Ive been travelling only 3 months, I've come bak and notice RUclips have given everybody these '@' tags, can anybody explain WTF is going on with this please?
Question, if you are on the road exploring all the time, how do you afford this? I live at home, alone, work several jobs and finding it tough, with expenses nowhere near this
All the money we make at the moment is through RUclips. We don’t pay rent or bills, this is between two people and to be honest this is quite a bit higher than we would usually spend
That all sounds very expensive in my opinion. Wow. I know your paying for an experience but going anywhere yourself these days costs an arm and a leg. This proves it.
At least 2/3 of your ENTIRE TOTAL would have been spent on rent anyway, if you were living in a house/apartment. So it could be an awful lot worse - even though fuel is a killer now. I guess you could buy a fancy coffee machine for the van?
Just being nosey and you can tell us to get lost, but would be very interested to hear about the income side of your finances. Do subscribers like us (who do click the thumbs up every time and try to comment down below) help with your channel income… or do you only get pennies from RUclips?
@@LostInTransit There are normally alternative roads that aren’t toll roads. We only encountered two roads that we couldn’t find an alternative for. The joy of my Tesla is that you can specify avoid toll roads. :)
Yes fuel prices have skyrocketed, but the fuel companies have vastly increased their profits, apparently. Which makes me wonder who's fooling who. Likewise with the electricity companies, all making huge profits. Keep smiling you two ! They can't tax smiles and laughter, or ... maybe they can !
Is your RUclips income your only source of income now that Izzy has given up her job ? If so, I would suspect you would need to be dipping into savings as well. Good luck anyways 👍
It does seem like a bargain for all the large living you have done! I wish you had a go fund me so that we could make a donation for all the positive energy you deposit in our emotional bank accounts

@@Luredreier That's very interesting. Thank you.
@@drewhodge3820 Oh, sorry, that was for petrol, not sure about diesel...
The only way to tour Norway is to live there and earn those huge salaries for doing more or less nothing. Or, be rich! PAl of mine got a menial job in Oslo...10 years later hes building his 3rd house in Croatia! And, hes bought his daughter a flat !
You have done extremely well indeed in my opinion be happy ciao ciao
Great casual video 😂
PS, IZ and Tom we have told loads of people anout you!! Keep it up XXMary-Lou and Mark
Great insight!
What local SIM cards did you look at?
You can get "unlimited use" (108GB free speed, then 3 mbps) in norway for 350 NOK pr month - 29£
How much would you recommend for 3 months on the road in the UK (continuous)? I've got a 3 month sabatical and hitting the road in my converted Berlingo. She's called Cleo :') I've got plenty of savings, but I don't want to bust through the whole lot! xx
Where is all the sun on our trip so far? Your videos have so much sun 😍
Yea Norway has 24hr sun at times BC of the positioning of the earth abit like Alaska but that would definitely do my head in
Cost in transit.
Quite interesting. Please, dont save on food. You must eat well, to feel/function well.
Wish you would make a film about found in transit.
What is found in transit, for each of you, personally.
Does it make you happy?
Do you get to come to better terms with yourself?
Does it alter the way you see other people?
Does it change the way you see routine everyday life?
Does it strengthen your realasionship?
Did it change you?
Isobel, I am sure I missed what internet cost you. I checked back but I think you might have forgotten?? Otherwise, barring the cost of Diesel I think its kind of amazing.
Yeah we actually forgot to go over it. Our internet situation is not ideal. We were going to get a Norwegian sim but it worked out similar per Mb so we just used roaming and buy a “data passport” from three every few days so we can batch upload videos. We spent almost £90, hopefully we can get a new sim once we get into Eastern Europe
This was really useful thank you. 👏👏👏
A ferry from Norway to Lofoten eh :D
fuel prices at a all time high, doesnt help haha... did you consider going on counchsurfing or the wwoof farm thing for accomadation etc/
We have done both those things in the past, but now we have the van the exchange is fairly one sided unless we were learning new skill for example
Really interesting insight to costs. Think you guys have done very well & don’t think you could have saved much more. You thought about a patreon page of some kind for whilst your out on the road?
Your little dances make chuckle. Is fuel more expensive than it is in the UK at the moment?
It probably similar at the moment. max we payed was about £1.90, average was more like £1.80 I think
Tom an Iz you two are a nice couple
That's actually not bad at all, for a full month of travel you spend very little on food and camping, amazing job finding all the lovely little spots to stay for the night. What's your plan on the journey home, will you be taking ferry or driving through Eastern and Central Europe? 🤔
No plans to head home yet, need to get out of the Schengen area before the 90 day rule so think we might be heading into south east Europe and make this a very long trip on the continent
@@LostInTransit oh that's right, well, if you'll be travelling through Poland or Czech Republic there's a few places I would recommend, also Croatia - so beautiful! Anyway, hope all your travels to Estonia and further on will go easy and safe for you guys 😊 cheers from Ireland ☘😉
Whats been your income (since leaving UK)? That would be interesting!
I’m sure many of us would happily pay that to have the adventures your on. Stay safe, drekkly…..
Great info, thanks a lot, currently building my van. Fuel: is your van petrol or diesel ? I presume diesel. What is your average fuel consumption (miles per gallon or liters per 100km). That would help me estimate my fuel cost.
yeh we are diesel, no idea on fuel consumption I’m afraid. We just feed her when she’s thirsty, haha
I think travelling through Norway is like when you go to Iceland EXPENSIVE! You were unlucky that the breakdown didn't happen in France or Germany you would payed al least 50% less.Anyway you have the best memories ever.
I think you have did well with the money:), you should get a few sponsers onboard Isobel 😁👍
you forgot the2074 charity shop visits lol for the things you seen i say thats a bargain,and your channel subs has been going crazy so hope you reap the rewards
😂
Doing well Norway is mad expensive
Viewing all of your videos. They are positive, happy and beautiful. Thank you.
I'm not sure Norway is any more expensive for fuel these days Isabel.
I think you are probably right
For the moment the fuel prices in Norway are the second highest in the world.
@@checkyourfacts6457 a quick Google suggests £2.10 per litre in Norway. Its £2.00 in few places in the UK from what I read.
@@deekayunited3445 fuel prices fluctuate with as much as 50p a day here now. Googling prices I see that some lists do not include the sales tax of 25%, and some do. But the main factor in the price is the international market, so any holiday anywhere with a lot of driving will be expensive this year.
@@checkyourfacts6457 Agreed. Its blimmin expensive wherever you go!
Did I miss how much internet/telecom was?
OMG!!!! Ive been travelling only 3 months, I've come bak and notice RUclips have given everybody these '@' tags, can anybody explain WTF is going on with this please?
Did you like Ireland.
Question, if you are on the road exploring all the time, how do you afford this? I live at home, alone, work several jobs and finding it tough, with expenses nowhere near this
All the money we make at the moment is through RUclips. We don’t pay rent or bills, this is between two people and to be honest this is quite a bit higher than we would usually spend
Out of interest how much do you guys spend on insurance?
Interesting. How do we buy you a coffee?
There is a link in the description, but honestly there is no pressure, give us a like and we will be more than happy.
link in the description
i found your accounts very useful so i wont be going to them foriegn parts lol
That all sounds very expensive in my opinion. Wow. I know your paying for an experience but going anywhere yourself these days costs an arm and a leg. This proves it.
Nice trouser
The price of gas is ridiculous.
My van has a 7.3 liter gas motor that drinks like a drunken sailor 😱
At least 2/3 of your ENTIRE TOTAL would have been spent on rent anyway, if you were living in a house/apartment. So it could be an awful lot worse - even though fuel is a killer now. I guess you could buy a fancy coffee machine for the van?
Love the idea of a barista machine in the van!
@@LostInTransit Doooo it
I guessed 3k, and with ferries and tolls, you gonna reach 3k.
Yeah I think you are probably right, annoying with the breakdown. Hopefully it will be a lot lower once we get back down south
Lol may come bk to ireland and drink sum more guinness
In Hungary for Hungarians petrol is 1 GBP/liter. We buy from Russia, we will not fund the war between USA and Russia happening in Ukraine.
Just being nosey and you can tell us to get lost, but would be very interested to hear about the income side of your finances. Do subscribers like us (who do click the thumbs up every time and try to comment down below) help with your channel income… or do you only get pennies from RUclips?
It definitely helps! RUclips is our only income so any every view, like and comment helps us to grow and continue
You are funny 😂😂
Always watch the Ads for you! 😍😍😍
But Of Course the UK Counts plus Ireland
Wait until you get the toll road bill in a couple of months. 🤣
😬 eek
@@LostInTransit There are normally alternative roads that aren’t toll roads. We only encountered two roads that we couldn’t find an alternative for. The joy of my Tesla is that you can specify avoid toll roads. :)
Yes fuel prices have skyrocketed, but the fuel companies have vastly increased their profits, apparently. Which makes me wonder who's fooling who. Likewise with the electricity companies, all making huge profits. Keep smiling you two ! They can't tax smiles and laughter, or ... maybe they can !
🚐💨🇳🇴❤💰
👌🏻👍👌🏻🥰
Every thing is very costly and its so awesome every thing is connecting with love it's sounds so comfortable lovely 💙🥰💙😁 T R ouble
Scary !
For the adventure you have had = Bargain !!
1st !
Is your RUclips income your only source of income now that Izzy has given up her job ? If so, I would suspect you would need to be dipping into savings as well. Good luck anyways 👍
It does seem like a bargain for all the large living you have done! I wish you had a go fund me so that we could make a donation for all the positive energy you deposit in our emotional bank accounts
Are yall vegan and stuff?
We are vegan, not sure about stuff, haha
