We believe in pursuing adventure and meaningful moments, even when it gets uncomfortable. We also believe that our adventures have the opportunity to positively or negatively impact the people and places we visit, so traveling ethically and responsibly with the goal of leaving the world a little better than we found it the ultimate goal.
Community over competition.
Because sometimes this journey gets lonely and our only friends are called Ben + Jerry (fudge brownie anyone?). If we can be the "if they can do it and so I can" type of people while the rest of the world is provoking doubt… then we'll consider our job done.
This is our story
...well a brief overview anyway
It was an amazing experience living in a foreign country for the first time. The people we met were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we had the opportunity to explore some of the most beautiful places in the world. We even got to visit an elephant sanctuary! Overall, it was an incredible experience that we'll never forget and we owe a lot of our love for travel to this trip.
The idea was simple: live more efficiently, travel more easily, and save money on rent and utilities. It turns out that van life isn't always as glamorous as it seems. In fact, it can be pretty challenging at times. But it's also incredibly rewarding. We've learned how to live with less, how to be flexible and adaptable, and how to find humor in every situation. If you're thinking about making the switch to van life, we say go for it! Just be prepared for some bumps (and a few bruises) along the way.
We never expected our first video to blow up the way it did. When we sat down to film our van tour, we had no idea that 5.3 million people would tune in to watch. But the Internet is a funny place, and sometimes a simple video can struck a chord with viewers around the world. It was all a bit overwhelming, but we're glad that we took the plunge and started our YouTube channel.
It was a tough choice, but with travel restrictions still in place and no end in sight, we decided to make use of our time and convert a second van! We had learned a lot from our first van, and were determined to make our second one even better.
We were thrilled to be homeowners at last. The house was perfect for us: it was close to downtown, had a nice yard, and came with a built-in pizza oven (a must-have for any self-respecting pizza Chattanooga was a great place to live, and we quickly settled into our new life as homeowners. We made new friends, explored the city, and learned all about home maintenance. It was a wonderful time in our lives, and we will always cherish our memories of our first home.
After months of anticipation, we finally hit the road in our newly converted van. We'd spent countless hours planning and preparation, outfitting the van with everything we need for long-term travel.
We're already making plans to see some of the world's most iconic destinations, and we can't wait to share them with y'all. From the beautiful beaches of Brazil to the stunning skyline of Mexico City, we're looking forward to experiencing everything that the world has to offer. And of course, we're also looking forward to meeting new people and sampling exotic cuisine from all over the globe. In short, we can't wait to get out there and explore the world in 2022. So let's start packing our bags and getting ready for an adventure of a lifetime.
