Americans Shipping Van to Europe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2023
- Van Life Europe Begins!! When we did Van Life in the United States we couldn't believe how cheap you could travel. Now 2 years later we have finally shipped our camper van to Europe. We share all the costs and details so you can do this one day too. Traveling internationally has always been our favorite but we hated moving from place to place with our suitcases. So we decided to bring our home to Europe 😂 Follow us on our 1+ year European road trip

Thanks so much guys!!!
Happy Tuesday
Love the caption of vanlife shipping into another country
Ahhh so glad you enjoyed!! ❤️❤️
Hi Ana and Ian. Great video. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Aww so glad you enjoyed ❤️ Excited to bring you along
@@ian.and.ana. ❤️
How cool! Thanks for providing all the details of how this worked. Never had thought about what it would take to do this, before!
So glad you learned a little about the whole process! Definitely a lot easier than we ever expected
You all are my favorite! So excited about your European journey!!!
Awww you are our favorite too!! We love sharing our adventures with you ❤️
Thanks for the great video
Ahhh so glad you enjoyed it
Wow so exciting!! Looking forward to seeing all your travel content 🙌🏼
WE HAVE A LOT COMING!! Thanks for the watching ❤️
Have fun guys! Vanlife Europe is amazing.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!! This is starting to feel real. I had frick'n anxiety about the van too. I can't wait for the drive down to Portugal to start this trip. Love you two. Stay safe. ❤🙏
Thank you so much!! We just finished 3 weeks of filming in Portugal and videos will be coming out soon enough 💪🏻
Its a Fiat Ducato. Italian cars are notorious in Europe for electrical isues. So its not a Dodge. Fiat bought Crysler. You ll see them in Europe.
U2 did it 🏅 made shipping a Van engaging viewing!! After grad school and a year wandering all over Europe.. speaking haphazard German.. I shipped my VW campervan from Germany to San Diego. In the late 80s it had hardly been done before. It arrived in 1 piece 😁
Wow that must have been amazing way back when!! Haha always scary shipping vans but 100% worth it. Excited to share the entire journey with you ❤️
@@ian.and.ana. oh yes it was.. thank you for your reply. In our travels through all of Europe we rarely found anybody else doing Vanlife. Just tents in campgrounds.
It was so uncommon that in fact when we were traveling for example in Northern Greece .. in every little Hamlet.. the mayor insisted that we spend the night at their home and have dinner with them. Ha! It was the first time we had turkish-greek ☕ coffee. We drink all the grounds at the bottom of the cup...not knowing. We were wide-awake for 2 furkin days 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫. .😁😅
I’m a US citizen and planning to stay in Europe for a year and because of the 90 days in 180, I was looking for another options and I found that Italy had something called Elective Residency Visa. All you need to do is to show bank statement for 32k euros per person and Airbnb reservation for one year and since you have the van, you can cancel the Airbnb after you submit your documents.
This is amazing info! We knew about the bilateral agreement with Italy but didn’t know the requirements. Definitely gonna try this out this year and make a video about the entire process ❤️❤️
Thanks for the info. We have been thinking of shipping our car, and staying up to a year. ❤
AWESOME video! Van life looks fun and freeing but challenging! Safe travels my friend. 🙂
Too much work to ship a Car/Van.. Ian was stressing me out just watching. Love your channel . :)
Probably easier and cheaper just to sell it and buy another one. Plus how long can they have it abroad and not have tax/customs issues?
Hahaha it was super easy!! All we had to do was give a little information and we show up at the port 😂
Yo this is SO dope! Stoked to follow the adventures guys! Congrats on making the leap!!
Ahhh thanks so much!! Haha it will be a shit show but a very fun shit show
can’t wait to ship our van from California to España 🥳🙌🏼
You guys spread such positive vibes, and I love that! We are waiting to see you in Ohrid Macedonia. You will be amazed by our nature sites. ❤
Great that your baby made it to Europe without problems. I know exactly how you feel about the stress of worry! Every time I've traveled to Europe I need Xanax, just to get good nights sleep before even getting there!! Have a safe and great trip, and looking forward to your voyages on RUclips!! Woot Woot! ~ Gary in Michigan.
Congratz guys, come by "pull pit rock" Norway and say hi :)
Norway is high on our list!! Definitely going to visit over the next 2 years 💪🏻😍
I love these videos!! I wish they were longer
Wooow
I was looking for some interesting places in Greece when found your channel. Than I checked a huge amount of your videos from the very beginning and I’m amazed!!! Great story, great couple, cool life! I’m starting to follow you guys. And now I’m really thinking of earning enough money for 6month- 1 year trip! Temporarily I live in Poland and because of lots of things happening in my life I feel like when the war is finished I would love to travel nonstop 😊
Thank you Ian and Ana for this inspiration!
You guys are awesome. Have a great time in Europe :) enjoy every single moment and don't let your fear destroy your experience.
Awww thanks so much!! Ana & I are never really that nervous. Always gotta risk it for an amazing adventure ❤️❤️
We're jealous! My wife and I are thinking about doing the same thing and this video helps to answer a lot of questions-Thank You!!! We are worried about a few other things though-driver’s license, van insurance (we converted our van ourselves) and anything that we may have not thought of. We be great if you would consider making a video on the subject.
Thank you for uploading this information. I have a 4 x 4 Chevy express van that I want to ship to Europe and spend around 8 months touring. Now I know what sort of costs are involved.
Hi Ian and Ana, we are thinking of doing the shipment the other way around (from Europe to the USA) so this is a very exciting video! I was wondering whether there were any delays in the shipment of your van? And whether things got stolen or damaged on the way?You mentioned things were the same but I was wondering whether you maybe found out later that some small things got stolen for example? We would love to hear from you because that may take some of our worries away haha! 🥰
You guys are awesome…. Great video 💯❤️🤘
Guys, you MUST visit Ghent, Bruges, and Brussels before you leave. Belguim is SO awesome ! Ghent and Bruges have got to be some of the most Instagram worthy cities in Europe.
Ghent is in our next video!! We met up with our friends that are from there, Laura & Nicolas ❤️❤️ Belgium is underrated and we will for sure be heading back to make more videos
Enjoy cant wait for the new journey to begin greetings from south africa
1:28 “to the escort service” made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha we had trouble saying it at first but had to roll with it 😂
Great video as always can’t wait to see your travels in Europe. Would highly recommend visiting Ireland ⛰️👌
Ireland is definitely on our list. There is so much to do in Europe and even 2 years sounds too short 😂 Glad you enjoyed
I was wondering about tax and any other fees through customs?
Guys great video - good luck on your journey - Ana I am your dad's friend from Cleveland I hang out with him and David Z. Have fun!
Waiting to see you in Bulgaria as well! It’s still in the European Union, but not In Schengen! Good luck on your journey 🤞
You must visit Slovenia it is really beautiful countryy!!🥰🥰
Nice video guys! Enjoy EUROPE WOOOO!
Great video!
Ahhh thanks so much!!
waiting for the first eurpean video :D
They are coming in hot soon enough!!
You should come to Malaga, Spain 🇪🇸
We will be in Europe for 2 years and want to do a ton of spain at some point ❤️ Actually putting our van on a ship right now to visit Mallorca 😉
Thank you very much for this detail video! it provided a lot of information. I am planning to do the same in middle of next year, but I have a question, how were you deal with the registration and insurance in your state? I called the DMV in my state (NJ) and my insurance what I plan to do, they all said I have to cancel the state registration, return the plate and insurance, but I know we need the US license plate to drive in Europe, correct? Can you share you experience? Thanks!
You didnt say one important thing....was your van shipped in container or just on ship deck?
The only thing that puzzles me is why you chose a Ram van instead of, for instance, a Sprinter. I can imagine that service for a Ram might prove to be a bit difficult in Europe. Have a great time in my continent!
We picked the Ram because we bought it already built out from our friends. A sprinter would be more expensive
Great video! Have no idea how you can stay in EU a year with US passport? Or you are going to get EU residence card? Good luck 🍀.
We just work around the 180 day Schengen rule. So we will leave after 90 days and head to places not in the Schengen zone like Eastern Europe or the UK
Your Schengen map is out of date! Croatia is now in the Schengen area!
So sorry we knew about Croatia joining in January but forgot to update it. Gonna use the right map for all future videos 😊
Are you gonna be posting videos of your journey now ? Or is it on another playlist on this channel?
RAM van can look like Share parts with citroen peugeot if ever need to you
Do you need a international driver license? do you need yo registe the van? and what about the insurance?
The world's largest visa free zone is not the Schengen area. It's the Belarus/Russia visa free zone. There are six countries larger than the Schengen area!
You forgot to mention if you had to make special car insurance arrangements to drive around in Europe. Or are you going to cover that if you get into a traffic incident? LOL
We will cover all that info in a future video!
Congratulations guys how much is the prize of a van like yours. I started following you
How much did you guys pay in import taxes?
Is 4kusd for one way or round trip?
Just to be sure
Yes it’s for 1 way! It’s closer to $4,500
Dang, would be hard to trust them with unlimited access to the inside of the van no?
As long as you don’t have any meaningful/expensive items in the van I don’t think there is much to worry about
Guys you are great, i,m glad your journey was Albania too, but i got a question, i,m trying to buy an RV in copart and shipping cost a lot, could you please give me your shipping agent contact details, maybe they will give me a better price, thanks
The shipping company we used is linked in the description below this video ❤️ Hope it helps
Be safe..
We always try haha thank you!!
Travel hike with us
Good luck:))
When you want to go to Israel
Talk with me :))
You guys should get a hotel room once a week to stay sane.
Or take a small tent with them, so they can euch have their private space if need be
Haha we will definitely take breaks every couple months in hotels! We did 6 months of Van life in the US so we are READY!!
I’m saving money to take my Mustang GT across Italy and Spain. My car is gonna be an expensive girlfriend that loves premium gas so I gotta prepare for that. Anyway, Thanks for the video!!
WOW that will be a trip of a lifetime!! Are you going to ship it over?? Glad we could help in anyway and of course have the best road trip ever
@@ian.and.ana. Indeed! My car will be traveling with me and thank you!! Hope y’all are great!
So People don t need to Work in theese days anymore because you can life from RUclips and enjoy LIFE.
privetik is stanbul druzya
💐Hi👋 Dear 🌟Ana👑 i love your videos 💓 , you have to Plan Visit south India Come very interesting to see Kerala, tamilnadu i will guide you without cost just pay also my costs 💝💝💝🤝
Lame you didn't talk about cost
Haha yes we did! It was $4,400 to ship the van one way to Europe
Ugh. The mention of the faith you have in Elon Musk makes people like me fear that you are a Trumper. Maybe avoid mentioning fascists in a casual manner.
I don't think it's that deep
It's so easy to spend tens ....... of thousand, _()_
For us this is a business expense. The van was a write off because we create RUclips videos. All this travel can be written off 😉
