I am 81 born at the end of great depression - my sister and I were raised in a very small homemade trailer and loved every minute of it - great family saw more learned more that trailer was home very small but we never noticed - our safe nest of love - never fear for your children. I am moving in a van conversion the end of July my son is converting van for me now. WOW!!!!!!! I cannot wait, best life ever - what a big front yard - never dull - never boring - my life will be beautiful missed it so. Go for your dream your children will so enjoy it and miss it soooo if ever forced to live in any other manner. I admire what you for your way of life.
I would recommend to most young people to spend some time doing this before they settle down and “get on with life” and not wait until they are 50 or 60 years old. You might find that you enjoy it and spend the rest of your life this way. I’m in my 50’s, raised my son, lost my wife, and spent decades working crazy amounts of time to support a lifestyle I no longer believe in. So now I’ve got a truck and travel trailer and I’m going to give it a shot. I don’t want to be old and sitting in a care facility waiting to die and wishing I had taken the opportunity to do this. Now if I could find a lady friend to go with me I’d be in heaven lol
Prepperjon that’s why we did this film in the first place, to inspire more and more people just to do it! There is nothing to wait for:) thanks for your comment
I originally found this -movie/documentary in 2019, right after I purchased my first van in California. I’m now on my 3rd van and it’s so weird how far removed we are now in 2024 from this type of “original style van” life. I’m so grateful I found this documentary. It’s help shape so much of who I am when I’m moving about this country in a van. Thank you!
1998, I spent the summer planning a trip across the States in a 1955 Volkswagen Bus with westfalia camper kit...Extra motor on the roof rack, two spare tires, extra brake lines, all the fluids.....then my girlfriend at the time got an apartment for us in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area and my dream fizzled away.......I have only myself to blame. I'll spend the rest of my life wondering what could have been. DON'T BE ME, GO FOR IT.
Beautiful i have lived in my van for 8 years its not the destination that matters its the journey that counts good luck to you all life is for living enjoy xxx
The admiration I have for these people is HUGE. I moved to Spain 17 years ago and that was a BIG challenge, and now i'm itching for something new. I watch lots of these type of videos and this is the best by far. One day I will make the decision to go...One day...
The cinematography is superb! The drone shots are awesome. I loved being able to see land that I'll never see in my lifetime. The narrator's voice was peaceful, serene, and genuine, not to mention smooth as buttah! Listening to all the stories made me think about possibilities in my own life or opportunities for change. I loved when one of the travelers said, "Fear is the enemy." So true! Thank you for sharing this beautiful documentary. I know it represents countless hours of hard work. Bravo!
This is so inspiring. Down sizing is scary...vanlife is out of the ordinary and travelling the less travelled roads is challenging but what is life if not an experience?
This is really giving me courage. Ever since I moved out with 19 (am 35 now) I kept moving around, never really content with how my life was. I moved 11 times since then, that's like every second year moving to another place and even though I've always been dreaming of, you know, traveling and freedom it is only now after massive changes in my life that I realize that this vanlife thing might be my way of living, at least for a while. Because that restlessness in me, the inability to settle down for good, it stems from within and it is about finding myself, learning to trust myself, learning to be independent and have courage not just in myself, but also the world around me. I'm a fucking coward, but I will do this. It will take time until I've paid off my university debts and such, but i will do it.
wow, what an amazing comment! This is our reward for all the energy we give to make this movie happen! Yes, do it. Seems already you're life it's seminomadic, so a van will give you much more freedom and for sure happiness. Feel free to contact us on FB if you need any advice :)
I have been planning a "try-out" trip for the month of July 2018 in New England, USA. We're taking a tent with us for stops along the way between visits to 5 family members, in 5 states. We will also head down to Rhode Island for a day trip, though there are no relatives there. This movie is inspiring, and educational. I really liked the honesty in the interviews! We will be travelling in a 2005 Dodge Gran Caravan named "Fiona". (Driving east on the Highway one day, her shadow looked just like an Ogre from the Shrek movies!) I feel more compelled than ever to be one with the No-mad Nomads here in the US. As a retiree living in someone else's home for 6 months now (VERY GRACIOUS HOSTS!!!) I don't feel homeless...more like houseless. Thanks for such an honest and inspiring movie. Happy Trails where the Rubber meets the road, from Cris Y-D
you just made our day with your comment, seriously. We're really happy and glad that our movie can inspire people, that's what we like most of all! :) I wish you a great trip in USA with Fiona! :)
When the beautiful Italian artist was talking about her husband Johnny ....and how she couldn't believe she found him and that she was afraid something would be broken and needs fixin...It took me a minute after not seeing Johnny in the van before I realized Johnny is the van ... Ive heard of a Van man ..but never a Man Van ..lol 😳😍man!!!
Such a great view, detailed, honest with real people from different backgrounds. I am 48 now, kids grown up, looking a vans now, been a dream of mine way way back. My teenage daughters are both supportive, needs to happen. Thanks so much for the insight.
That's it..I've had it with the rent rut.. searching for my van now😉 no way will i lay in a nursing home bed in the future and say i wish i had or if only,
Make a list and check it twice. You'll have the same expenses (you just pay them in a different place) and then some. A lot of people think they use fewer resources, but miss what they use in laundromats, etc. You spend more time shopping for food because of limited food storage, etc.
The greatest behind the scenes vanlife portrait I have ever watched! Thank you so much for this epic and inspiring journey. See you on the road, someday.... 😊
Now, guys, this documentary is a treat! I was pointed towards it via Rich's last video where he did a quick interview with you guys and I'm so glad I watched it. The videography is spectacular and the interviews done in a way that makes them a pleasure to listen to. So much insight into the van life from so many different perspectives. I've always wanted to convert a vintage bus into a mobile home (I could do with a van, but I'll never get my wife to give up all of her comforts, so I'm afraid I'll have to compromise) which is why I'm so interested in all the van life videos by Beyond The Van, The Indie Project, Explorer Buddies and so many others. This documentary has given me great ideas and renewed the spark. Who knows? I might actually go through with it in the future. You certainly wet my appetite. 👍😉
thanks a lot for your comment. We're so glad we can inspire with our movie, that's our goal! I should thanks Rich as well! :) remember: is a plan, not a dream :) so make it happen!
Loved the film very much! I’m getting my van in 3 weeks! My father passed in January of this year and it’s really put life in perspective for me while dealing with the loss of my best friend and a wonderful Father all in one. I’m ready to travel while I’m still somewhat young. Hopefully I can find some sort of peace out there in the world because I’m definitely not finding it in my current daily life. Safe travels! Thanks
Sorry for your loss. I also recently loss my Mother and 6months later my girlfriend. Sitting in a House alone as made the depression overwhelming. Driving passed all the places i had so many memories is Painful. Traveling and seeing NEW places and not being reminded constantly of the past is one way to get out of a rutt. Plus meeting new people everyday vs staring at the walls is great therapy. Traveling has saved my life in alot of different ways. Wishing you the best. Good Vibes 👣
But that has to be very difficult on a big family in such cramped space, which appears to include a large dog as well. I bet they would enjoy a little more space if they could??
Stunning..... what an amazing and inspiring piece. You should be very proud of your project. I am blown away visually but also the content was very well put together.
Enjoyed this video! When I needed a vehicle a few years back, I bought a van and started with little 1 night trips. You can do a smaller version of this lifestyle too. I look forward to exploring where I live now with my van and small trips.
This is seriously one of the most amazing documentaries I've ever seen, so inspiring! Now I want to go and get my own van right away haha thanks for that!
Great film. Thank you so much. I was travelling when I fell pregnant 26years ago, so travelling stopped - kind of. We’ve spent the last 26 yrs between here and Kenya 😂. The youngest child is nearly 18yrs and I’m planning to live six months a year on the road to avoid the grim British winters, from this time next year. This film is such an inspiration - makes me want to jump in the van and leave now!!!! 🙏🏽
Wonderful documentation! And so inspiring! I would love to see more of these :) And the choice of music just fits perfect. Looking forward to buy a van in 3 years and start my own adventure!
Video yang menginspirasi untuk Saya memiliki sebuah mobil Van, walaupun itu sebuah mobil Van tua yang sudah berumur, asalkan mengerti tentang perawatan mungkin akan baik baik saja selama di perjalanan
I like to drive but end of day I want to sleep in a safe and secure place , would never feel safe in the open. So I can just watch these people for their bravery,can never attempt it sadly.
My plans are to trade in my car on a purchase for a van in August once my lease is up. I'm currently researching my products to be used in my van build. I will continue to work for the boat manufacturer I'm employed with while living out of my van. This isnt a challenge for me because I was an otr truck driver for 12 years and working in the field of a seamstress/upholster I have tools and ideas that will allow me a peace of mind. Yes, like everything in life there will be repairs needed, so what, its life. Thank you all for sharing your experiences.
Superb congratulation to both of you for the great effort invested in making this excellent film which among many positive points will be an inspiration to many to show that there are a lot of options to make life better. Thank you for sharing.
What an amazing vid. Great to see Mike Hudson AKA Van Dog Traveller, hope your ok Mike. I cannot wait to leave the 9 to 5 and set off on my travels. Set myself a goal, hope the other half wants it as much as i do, Fantastic people ,such an inspiration, keep living the dream people. Peace and Love x
Wow, such a great documentary! Rene told us about your project, as he was recording his interview in morocco, but we didn't even imagined, what a great movie this will become! We are really love it! Love it! Love it!
Yes, that's our tiny Herman! :) That was such a nice evening at the campfire with Rene and and his Syncrho Horst! Where are you guys heading for the winter?
herman-unterwegs.de in Barcellona right now, heading to Portugal for the end of the month. Unfortunately Rene had a bad accident and tomorrow probably they will rescue his syncro with a military helycopter on the Pyrenees :(
Yes, we heard about it, so horrible! We're in contact with rene. The only thing that matters: he's OK! :) We're heading to portugal the next month as well! Would be great to meet you guys!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Thanks to the witnesses for sharing their real life experience. -Yves, surfing plannet Earth with a Westfalia since 1982 :-)
Thank you so much for this video! Amazing places, amazing people and most important of all: AMAZING REALITY. In this documentary you show the realness of this type of living and this is really important 'cause as many of the people in this video has said social media show only a part of this. Great job!
I love that documentary. It motivates me even more than I was to change my life and move towards living in a van. Thank you for helping me to be sure ♡
Very, very well done, 5 stars. It must have quite some time to assemble and edit. I appreciate it and it was most inspiring. I currently live in Australia and next month, will be picking up a van in Calgary, Alberta to travel North America in. Again thank you for an excellent video.
took more than 3 years to record the interview and around 6 months to edit all the footage, but I simply love to do it! Safe travels and enjoy your North American journey :)
Thank you, Yes we have been on the road this time for almost another 3 years, since 2015 but this time no Van.. Maybe again one day. Almost certainly, It's hard to stop.
I would love to have met everyone in your video. They all seem to have very enlightening and interesting perspectives. I crave the idea of challenging my own perspectives. Hope to see more. Thank you for sharing your project!
Roc Diver thanks for watching:) we do connect will all the people we’ve met in the last 7 years while on the road and the ones in the movie are just few of them
Been watching this movie again, what a great footage, great Skills Armando! Would like to meet you up sometime on the spot! Best of luck to you both guys and congratulations to your van renovation it’s just stunning 🤩 🤙
I finally watched VANLIFERS and I must really say it's a beautiful documentary. Mel & Armando you did a great job and I cannot do anything else but to applaud you... Beautiful images, a good story and fantastic real people. It makes me want to step up my game and try to get on the road myself even quicker... 😉 Thanks!
This has to be, by far, the best video I have seen and heard, about the nomad lifestyle. It has been very informative, very touching, very exciting, and very real, about the wonderful experiences one can have and enjoy while traveling in a van or RV
Thank you for all the tips. It is quite an adventure to live out there on your own. Staying safe is so important; that is probably something that would worry me most. I would love, and do plan to take off like you some time soon.
Vero Le Kim thanks for your comment Vero! I can tell you in 7 years living fulltime in our van we’ve never felt in a dangerous situation. Yes, we’ve been robbed twice and that’s not nice at all, but this things happen even if you live in an apartment!
@@Westfaliadigitalnomads Getting robbed or attached in your own van would really scare me. My little vintage RV's door is far from being rob proof. Guess nobody can be safe unless you leave a big Pit Bull there :) I admire your courage in doing what you do. Keep it up! regards from Canada

Same Jon. I’m going to get out there while I still feel good enough to explore, before retirement.
Any updates a year on?
Agree with you 💯% Best of luck to you and your close ones!
Your comment made me tear up my dude.
Live the life you want.

7 yrs a nomad now in the UK and absolutely love it. I will spend my last breath in a van 🤟👍✌️💯🌲🌳🙏🙏🚐🚐🚐🚐
Brilliant documentary!! Built my own van/ home but at 50 really nervous but exited to get going .😀😀
And? How is it going? 😄
Mega cool. World is our home, this is beter way how to enjoy it, much better than only sit home and look out through window.

This is amazing. Weldone and thanks for making this. Also thanks for the subtitles. Good work!
Thanks Mel for watching :) we're so glad you liked it! :)
This is so inspiring. Down sizing is scary...vanlife is out of the ordinary and travelling the less travelled roads is challenging but what is life if not an experience?
A great time capsule of the many parts of learning by doing and to know thyself. You will with van life.
Thanks guys for sharing the journey

no worries, anytime, you know where to find us :)
I can relate bigtime , I also have that restlessness and have moved a lot , and I am certain that where I am at right now is not it!
I have been planning a "try-out" trip for the month of July 2018 in New England, USA. We're taking a tent with us for stops along the way between visits to 5 family members, in 5 states. We will also head down to Rhode Island for a day trip, though there are no relatives there.
This movie is inspiring, and educational. I really liked the honesty in the interviews! We will be travelling in a 2005 Dodge Gran Caravan named "Fiona". (Driving east on the Highway one day, her shadow looked just like an Ogre from the Shrek movies!)
I feel more compelled than ever to be one with the No-mad Nomads here in the US. As a retiree living in someone else's home for 6 months now (VERY GRACIOUS HOSTS!!!) I don't feel homeless...more like houseless.

So wish you good luck with your plan :)
That's it..I've had it with the rent rut.. searching for my van now😉 no way will i lay in a nursing home bed in the future and say i wish i had or if only,
Chris Bishop make a plan and go for it, all out support!
Make a list and check it twice. You'll have the same expenses (you just pay them in a different place) and then some. A lot of people think they use fewer resources, but miss what they use in laundromats, etc. You spend more time shopping for food because of limited food storage, etc.
Have you got out ?? I am In Texas and become homeless In 6 weeks. I am repairing my van next week and will out fit it next month.
I'm thinking the same thing.
@@4TIMESAYEAR yes but plenty of time to shop

Loved it you guys, I'm so glad it wasn't exclusively westfalia. Well worth the wait!
not only Westfalia. The choice was more about the people, not the van! :)
Loved the film very much! I’m getting my van in 3 weeks! My father passed in January of this year and it’s really put life in perspective for me while dealing with the loss of my best friend and a wonderful Father all in one. I’m ready to travel while I’m still somewhat young. Hopefully I can find some sort of peace out there in the world because I’m definitely not finding it in my current daily life. Safe travels! Thanks
a road trip could be the best way to deal with a loss
@@Westfaliadigitalnomads 💯 Agree 😁
Sorry for your loss. I also recently loss my Mother and 6months later my girlfriend. Sitting in a House alone as made the depression overwhelming.

There is no trial run for life...seize it while you can, Thanks WDN, excellent photography and drone footage as usual. 💖
Just one life...better to live it full!
Beautiful movie. Enjoyed it very much. We made the first step building an expedition vehicle and date is set to start our journey.
always glad we can inspire other people, so happy for your journey :) Maybe our paths well cross one day!
I'm working on saving for my van. This just makes me even more excited.
XDrZaneX thanks for watching! And safe travel as soon your van will be ready :)
So did you get your van? 😁
Hats off to the couples wiv kids....such an inspiration xx
sair b glad you enjoy the film, we actually try to interview different type of travellers and have a wide range of options:)
But that has to be very difficult on a big family in such cramped space, which appears to include a large dog as well.
I bet they would enjoy a little more space if they could??
Great job putting this together! The music, scenery, everything is really well done!!

Awesome movie, well put together. Thanks for sharing. One day, I'm working on it.
so keep on working :) glad you liked the movie!
Compelling watch, capture of the landscape is feast for eyes.
I can tell you somedays was just the matter to fly the drone...all the rest was done by Mother Nature!
Personally I'm not a person for small spaces, but I can't stop marvelling at people who make mobile and less space their own.
For sure is not comfy but we balance with the fact that we are free to explore and travel :)
I like to drive but end of day I want to sleep in a safe and secure place , would never feel safe in the open. So I can just watch these people for their bravery,can never attempt it sadly.

Nello una gopro, una lumix Gh4, e altre camere per delle interviste che hanno fatto direttamente 2 degli intervistati
Very informative
Nice mix of people & families
That was the idea, to have a wide range of people! :)
Wow, such a great documentary! Rene told us about your project, as he was recording his interview in morocco, but we didn't even imagined, what a great movie this will become! We are really love it! Love it! Love it!
guys, thanks a lot for your words, I suppose the big truck in Rene timelapse is your right?
Yes, that's our tiny Herman! :) That was such a nice evening at the campfire with Rene and and his Syncrho Horst! Where are you guys heading for the winter?
herman-unterwegs.de in Barcellona right now, heading to Portugal for the end of the month. Unfortunately Rene had a bad accident and tomorrow probably they will rescue his syncro with a military helycopter on the Pyrenees :(
Yes, we heard about it, so horrible! We're in contact with rene. The only thing that matters: he's OK! :)
We're heading to portugal the next month as well! Would be great to meet you guys!
herman-unterwegs.de meet up for sure! :)

there is always a solution for a problem! :)
This documentary was awesome!!! Loved every story!! Thank you for sharing❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching it and for your feedback! :)
Thank you so much for this video! Amazing places, amazing people and most important of all: AMAZING REALITY. In this documentary you show the realness of this type of living and this is really important 'cause as many of the people in this video has said social media show only a part of this. Great job!
Hi Anica, thanks so much for your comment. Showing something real was our main goal with this movie...seems we got it! :)
I love that documentary. It motivates me even more than I was to change my life and move towards living in a van. Thank you for helping me to be sure ♡
your comment is my greatest reward for the time spent on this movie, so happy it can inspire more and more people! :)
You've changed my mind and rebirth my oldest dream. Thanks a lot.
Wow, thanks for your comment! Best reward ever :)
Great documentary. Wish you all the best for your project
thanks for your feedback! So glad you liked it!
This was very well done... Thank you for putting in the time and effort to put this together.
And thank you for watching it and leave a comment! Lot of time and work into this movie, but when a job it's also a passion makes things easier!
fantastic film very inspirational to complete my van conversion project
Thanks for your feedback, I'm sure you'll do a great job on you van. After that you'll be ready to explore :)
Very, very well done, 5 stars. It must have quite some time to assemble and edit. I appreciate it and it was most inspiring. I currently live in Australia and next month, will be picking up a van in Calgary, Alberta to travel North America in. Again thank you for an excellent video.
took more than 3 years to record the interview and around 6 months to edit all the footage, but I simply love to do it! Safe travels and enjoy your North American journey :)
So well done. Great Job. We so enjoyed watching this.. We lived this live a few times now and I suspect we will again, some day. Thank you.
Thanks appreciate! It's never to late to hit the road...again...and again! Safe travels!
Thank you, Yes we have been on the road this time for almost another 3 years, since 2015 but this time no Van.. Maybe again one day. Almost certainly, It's hard to stop.
hi, what is the song name at minute 22:00 ?
@@Metrowhite don’t remember sorry, I bought them on Envato
Beautifully made and inspiring documentary !
Thanks, appreciate :)
I would love to have met everyone in your video. They all seem to have very enlightening and interesting perspectives. I crave the idea of challenging my own perspectives. Hope to see more. Thank you for sharing your project!
Roc Diver thanks for watching:) we do connect will all the people we’ve met in the last 7 years while on the road and the ones in the movie are just few of them
Great movie one of the best out there thanks for it

thank you to dedicate you time to this movie! :)
here is a pattern of life that i will never established in all my sad life......why am i crying??
Love this film, inspires me so much in my own van-life adventure!
Thanks for your feedback! Seems we did a good job as our goal was exactly to inspire others! :) That makes us happy!
I finally watched VANLIFERS and I must really say it's a beautiful documentary.
Mel & Armando you did a great job and I cannot do anything else but to applaud you... Beautiful images, a good story and fantastic real people.
It makes me want to step up my game and try to get on the road myself even quicker... 😉 Thanks!
Thanks Maurice, we're glad you liked it! :)
Wow. Gran bel video! Very inspiring
Marco Nardelli grazie, felice che sia riuscito a trasmettere ed ispirare :)
A sympathetic though still honest, I think, explanation of what constitutes living and traveling on the road. Very entertaining and informative.
thanks a lot for your feedback!
This has to be, by far, the best video I have seen and heard, about the nomad lifestyle. It has been very informative, very touching, very exciting, and very real, about the wonderful experiences one can have and enjoy while traveling in a van or RV
Thanks Jose, your and other people words is what make us continue exploring this lifestyle :)
Please keep those videos coming! We appreciate them very much!
you can find the new videos in our playlist VANLIFERS
Thank you so much. Yes, I am going to watch more of your videos from the playlist. All the best!
Thank you for all the tips. It is quite an adventure to live out there on your own. Staying safe is so important; that is probably something that would worry me most. I would love, and do plan to take off like you some time soon.
Vero Le Kim thanks for your comment Vero! I can tell you in 7 years living fulltime in our van we’ve never felt in a dangerous situation. Yes, we’ve been robbed twice and that’s not nice at all, but this things happen even if you live in an apartment!
@@Westfaliadigitalnomads Getting robbed or attached in your own van would really scare me. My little vintage RV's door is far from being rob proof. Guess nobody can be safe unless you leave a big Pit Bull there :) I admire your courage in doing what you do. Keep it up! regards from Canada
Sono qui tramite il texano.... Non me ne sono pentito. Veramente un bel video, un bel canale e ottima qualità.
Grazie e benvenuto, ogni venerdi un nuovo vlog di viaggio! :)
Really good movie guys, thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks Ash :) appreciate your time for watching the movie and for your comment :)
What a well produced documentary! Thank you so much for your outstanding work, to help people understanding what life really is and can be about :)
thank you for the time you dedicate to watch it! :) appreciate
