Eastern Europe is great for van life camping! Rules are relaxed, lots of places to camp, and people are cool with outdoor living. Unlike some Western countries (and Western Europe...), Eastern Europe has fewer camping restrictions, so it's easier to find spots and explore without hassle. You can camp freely in rural areas and parks without reservations or fees. Police usually focus on other stuff, so encounters are rare. Camping is a big part of the culture here, especially in summer. Even though wages are lower and countryside areas aren't as famous as cities, Eastern Europe's simple beauty offers a peaceful experience for van life lovers who want to go off the beaten path. :)

Hey everyone! It's been a while! We've really missed hanging out with you each week :( A lot has been going on behind the scenes (both with travel & at the workshop!) & we needed to step back from videos. 2024 is a MASSIVE year for us, and will include not only a very special product launch (that will also be road legal!) but also an international transition abroad!!! YAHOOO! While we likely won't have weekly videos for you until the summer months, we DO have a few big ones on the horizon, so make sure to hit the notifications to not miss it! You all are the BEST!
❤
Update on container build, yes?
Today, I realised I hadn’t seen a Ladi & Margret video in ages! Came to find out what’s going on. So glad to hear you are both living your best lives. All the best. 🙌🏾
Anyone else excited to have these 2 back. Been seriously missed. Welcome back from South Africa.
So glad you all are well! Been missing your content - I was so happy to see you pop up in my feed this morning! Thanks for the glimpse into a lovely adventure! Excited to see more
Very nice to see you both hope you're had a wonderful time but you been missed ❤
Missed you too! Feels so so good to hit the upload button again. We’re so out of the YT groove; I must have watched this video a million times all paranoid that I made some edit or upload mistake 😅
Welcome to Hungary! I’m not sure though what those floating steam things are never heard of them 😅 but our country is really beautiful and the same goes to the Czech Repulblic and Poland ❤
Solid video! Really dig the day in the life type vids…and huzzah for street legal U.S. bikes!
Great episode. Good to see you guys again. For a couch locked senior, your travels take me places I would ever get to, no need for high adventure.
Hey Judy:) I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Our travels recently haven’t included many over-the-top activities, so we havent known if making videos about casual camping would be very entertaining. Maybe we’re over-thinking it?
@@ladiandmargaret yeah you’re over thinking it. The history of the area was interesting. Seeing you function in your high tach van is interesting. Even hearing that something didn’t work and how you fixed the problem is good content. I don’t need heart stopping adventure. Heart stopping scenery is always a bonus. I feel like an episode of visiting with you guys is like hanging out with old friends.
😭 that is incredible to hear. Thank you so much!! Hanging with friends is exactly how we want people to feel 💜
Hey guys, been following your channel for inspiration for a while now (building my own van as well, but to way - way less sophisticated standars :-)) and happy to see that you are exploring my home country. There are some really cool overnight spots in the Danube Bend, near the Dömös ferry, overlooking Nagymaros and the mountains, you would like it for sure! Greetings from Budapest, and keep up the good work, all the best! (and you get the Turul legend right as well :-) )
Please show more of your cats too!
Margaret, I thought Ladi married you because you are smart, beautiful and adventurous, but now I am suspecting that it was your cooking skills he was after. Those meals are making me hungry!!!
Looks like you two are having fun. Not sure if you recorded it, but I'd like to see how you installed your new water tank as well as the items used to heat the water.
Welcome back! I've missed your videos!
We’ve missed you too! Still get the adrenaline jitters each time we press upload! 💕
Missed you! I loved the style and content of this video. It felt like we got to catch up after a long time between visits.
Very nice videos ❤ love the way you approach your projects with smartness and ingenuity. Best wishes for all your next steps in yr way to climb the world 🍀👍🤙
Today is my first ever viewing your channel, I like it, although I can never live in a van. Thank you for the knowledge and all the content.
Street legal in US!!! So awesome!!!
Yay! Great to see you both and all the projects. I didn’t get a notification. 😢 RUclips gets lazy sometimes, but I saw your IG post. I’m really looking forward to Eastern Europe vanlife! ✌️❤️✌️
Funny and cute recent rom-com there on the movie screen 😁😍
Good to see you again..
❤❤❤You have been absent from us for a long time
Way too long 😭 we’ve really missed the videos, but over the last few years we learned that recording all our projects on a weekly basis takes so much time that it ends up slowing down the project a bit too much for our liking. BUT there is a finish line to the work, at least! Thank you for being here!!
you guys are so awesome .You completely made my day by watching this video!
Oh no, don't reveal the secret of van life in eastern part of Europe! I want it to stay uncrowded! Joking aside - nice video and great to see you again.
Wowzers! So great to see you guys! It's been too long. Way too long. Thanks for the update. ❤
-western NY Troy & Aimee
Hi Troy and Aimee! So nice to see you guys again here in the comment section! Way too long is absolutely right:) I’m so looking forward to getting back to being more regular on this platform again (later this year for sure!). We’ve been living in the van since our last upload (with the exception of some time abroad with friends/family & some weekends up north at the cabin) and finally recording what trips in the van have been looking like has felt really great. Hope you guys are doing well!!
Que Barbaridade ! ! ! Eles voltam ! ! ! (Southern Brazil slang for Ohhhh Shiot ! ! ! (Meant in a good way). They return ! ! ! ) You both have been missed in Southern Brasil. Welcome back ! ! !
Thank you Tiango!!! 💜 Felt crazy to get back on camera and into the edit again; I’m so slow now 😜 We’ll see if you all find this type of van content interesting, because maybe then we can try out some new types of videos (like ASMR camping, or just simple travel) Regardless it’s so nice to be back:)
Happy to see a new video out! You two are wonderful.
Hi Guys its great to see you finally using the camper van yyaaaaayyyyyy what a camping location its somewhere we are dying to get to but have family commitments so it wont be this year. You are both looking great stay safe love beat wishes see you on the next video 🫶🙏👍
I love this kind of content and new video style! Always loved your van conversion videos, and i am using them for my future van this summer (yipee 🥳)
But it's also really cozy to just hang out with you in new spots and hear about struggles or routines you might have to do in your daily life in the van 😊 looking forward to more videos. Also love love love you as a duo ❤
...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you… Greetings Jörg
Hi Ladi & Margaret, been watching you content for ages now and just wanted to say thank you for all your content, we took inspiration from your build in our own van, in which we have recently used for a trip to the Arctic. Your content helped when looking at would could be done to a van and while being open minded going into our build and looking to think outside the box, you guys take it to a whole new level. Thanks again love you guys, Matt & Anita.
Welcome back 🎉
Omg yasss cannot wait for more videos guys❤
Welcome back you two. Missed you both.
Missed you Too!!
So happy to see you again. I love your story and all the incredible projects you're working on.
Welcome back Ladi & Margaret ♥ love to see casual van life with you, very relaxing 🙏
It is so wonderful to finally get to see you travelling and using that awesome van! Love it! More, please!!!
Love It!
Yes more please !
Great vlog you guys! I hope to visit Hungary one day. I was there as a little girl one summer but only remember having terrific ice cream LOL I know I know there's so much more to see... that falcon park looks great! Only in Europe would you find such an attraction totally free. Happy travels... can't wait to see what treasure you come across next.
I am SOOOOOOOOO happy to see a new video from you guys! Good to know you've not fallen off the face of the map! I figured you were probably traveling and doing your thing, but it's so nice to see what that looks like for you guys. Excited about your newest venture, but mostly, just happy to see your smiling faces. Happy camping!!
Nice to have you back on YT / Greets from Switzerland 😎
I knew you would come back refreshed and with amazing new projects! Can't wait to see what is next! And I like that you shared about the water heater issue. It reminds me that even With all your planning and testing there will be fiascos and redos.
Beautiful van and bike🎉
Very sweet
I look forward to meeting y'all in the states!
Happy to see you again! ❤️I really missed you.
I LOVE this video! FR, this is the first video we've ever seen of you guys just being van lifers. It's great to see you get to relax and enjoy the fruits of your genius minds and skilled hands. Don't get me wrong, i love watching you innovate all you touch, but this was nice. This is the kind of travel i will do...
So glad to see you guys back! Looking forward for the next adventure!
Hi its great to see you back. Missed you guys.
Oh wow, I recently found y'alls videos and saw the camper video setup. That is one sick setup.
Out of curiosity, what is your background? I notice the 3d printer, design software, and ebikes and such. I'm curious how yall got into it and how yall learned these stuff
Have you two considered doing a collaboration with Ambition Strikes? This is the RUclips couple that has the most in common with you two-- Vanlife, ebikes, container homes, solar, metal fabrication and so much more.. They really are your counterparts here in the US.
AdventureVanMan is my dude for van life vids and vibe…but you guys are my #2 😜😘
Welcome back! We missed you
I've been wondering where you were. Welcome back!
Missed you!!! Was hoping you'd post this week
Greetings from Korea! I am surprised to see that you guys are using the same skin care products (mask pack) that my wife is using every day 😂
Wow very good
Ah love to see how you’re getting on in the van. We lived through its build. Definitely need to see how you’re enjoying it! 👍. Also fab to see countries not normally covered on RUclips. Most of Western Europe covered regularly. East not so much!
My question answered 😂
Nice one
good job
Ladi looked like Hannibal Lechter with that face mask on.😅
Much love from mpls!
Great Video! What is the name of your projector screen/mat? We’ve been looking for one for a while and love the one you have.
Weclom back guy's(the word is a pun)❤🏴
You’ve been missed!
You guys are just mind-blowingly cool!!!! Greetings from Ukraine!!!
Guys, you both are fantastic couple! I saw the video the Van Building and I astonished with all I saw. Did you guys research for the knowledge to do the build or that's usually jobs that you have been doing for along time? I hope my inglish through my expectations and you could understand me 😅
Federal and State laws should make Van Life Legal... Everybody Vote Now.
Awesome you two are back Has been some time! Thats a very nice episode. Did actually went down to Bulgaria? I am from there so i am curioius to see your experience :)
Hi Ladi and Margret, youève mentioned that camping in eastern europe is easier as it is in the western countries. Is it because it is culturally accepted to sleep outside, or is it legally right to simply do wild camping?
Looks idyllic
Обожаю Вас! Красивая пара!
Great to have you both back!!! Missed hearing from you both! Very curious of your new product! Also... What is this international transition abroad means? More surprises for us viewers?!! Always love the footages that you shared from your journeys, the untouched landscapes by tourism is tranquility to the eyes! Those thermal pools in the middle of the river piqued my curiosity, did both or either of you tried it?
We didn’t do the thermals this time around, but they are on our radar now! We still haven’t technically “announced” details about the transition just because the date has fluctuated for shipping, but I (Margaret) am very ready to return to the states. I originally left 7 years ago only with the intention of traveling full time, never with the intention of permanently living somewhere else. As much as I love having a base here (and close to Ladi’s fam!) I miss my friends, family, and culture. Lucky for me Ladi LOVES the USA, so we’re working on his visa situation and keeping our fingers crossed that it goes smooth so we can ship our van across the ocean!
What is the safest country you have travelled in Europe, please? 😊🙏
hey there alot of your links in the older vids are now dead, where can I get the up to date ones for the parts you've used etc?
Ladi I know it’s a well thought out purpose build, but what kind of service or repairs any have you done to date?
Thanks, apart from the hot water tank incident we only add small convenient things as we find the need.
What does the e bike cost
Very nice to be back Ladi and Margaret... question for you guys, back in the build series, what kind of cells did Ladi use to make your battery pack? Please help me out on this.
J'aimerais bien voir l'installation intérieur de votre camping car
Hi! Really cool all your projects! I am a big fan. if you arrive into Romania and need any advices/assistance I would be more than happy to help you out!❤
Can you please share the link for the template for the firepit/grill? Or would you made a new design could you ship one to Ireland please?
I recall that you were watching the weight as you built your van. Have you weighed it? How did you do?
👍
Hey guys! Are you comming to Croatia?
Super, že Česko řadíte do východní Evropy. Už min. dekádu se politická reprezentace snaží vést představu o ČR coby zemi západní Evropy a vy tohle myšlení úspěšně bouráte. Mě je z představy že bych se měl řadit za obyvatele východní Evropy dosti zle.
Street legal in the USA? Will we see a European version or are you moving to America?
Unfortunately legalizing in the EU would cost us literally millions of dollars, so for the EU we’re planning to make it so individuals in the EU can legalize their bikes on an individual basis. Sadly this continent is a little too red-taped, especially for small businesses
Ahoj, neplanujes dozadu mechy? Dodavka vypada jal snizena...😁
Ahoj, chci kompletni vzduchovy podvozek ale jeste nevim jak mam udelat predek. Zadek je snadny ale nedostatecny.

I know that you guys are speaking to an audience that generally has no clue about east European countries but you have given Hungary a little bit more credit from the start.
It is a choice.
As with every country I also traveled to Hungary before completely open-minded. It is amazing. The people are nice, the weather is nice, the food is good and one does not always have to look over one's shoulder to see if you are safe..... You are.
I much rather go to east European countries than any other (North-western) European countries or any other "western" country.
But that is just me and I am considered to be stupid so don't read my post. Oh damn, you did.... Sorry.
Hungary is fabulous:) You’re so right that the safety aspect is completely under-rated. I have this same feeling in a lot of Slovak countries, too. Although Eastern Europe is not very shiny, new, and overly “modern”, people are hard-working, kind, and super supportive of visitors (especially in places where the visitors are few and far between!)
@@ladiandmargaret Furthermore, to my opinion, East-European people have a higher level of moral standards. Sure enough these countries and the people have their flaws too but while my country sinks deep into Liberal exuberances, these countries tend to stick more to their original moral values. Especially Hungary and Serbia.
The more I see my country (the Netherlands) slip out of control, the more I appreciate the common sense of these countries.
@@ctrl-del630 Are you suggesting diversity is not always a strength? 😉
@@Triggered1964 It always surprises me the creativity of people and how they filter my words in such a way that they come to conclusions I never came close to. Remarkable.
@@ctrl-del630 So you like eastern European countries bc its safer and people have higher morals and i agree with you, which involves traditional relationships / marriage Christianity and hard work.
The term you use
liberal exuberances
means to ME a lack of church, promiscuous relationships, degenerate relationships and promoting
a bor +ion$ as if its the morning after pill. The liberal democracies in Europe which I'm including the UK. Promotes open their borders to mass uncontrolled
my gray tion from parts of the world that have very different values.
Your comments say as much, without saying the taboo subjects
Stop ignoring the elephant in the room that's why we are in the mess we're in
Soooo......you guys are exercise video enthusiasts ?
Видео слишком короткое ))))))
Video clearly targeted at US viewers. "eastern Europe map"
Yeah probably could’ve picked a different one. Each image of “Eastern Europe” is different since there isn’t really a designated list. Even google includes Turkey & Russia, both of which technically wouldn’t be considered Europe. Then the inclusion of Croatia, Greece, etc starts mixing with “southern” so idk how to be right about any of it lol
I am waiting for ''Poland is in central Europe, not Eastern Europe'' comments 😅@@ladiandmargaret
More travel and less self promotion, products and other unobtainable items. Lost me😢
at previous video promoted other portable battery, you aren't authentic!
You’ve been missed!
