➤ ABOUT US: Hi! We’re Nick & Raychel, and we want to help people open their eyes to alternative living, whether that be teaching English online, moving to Cambodia, taking advantage of working holiday visas, or building a DIY stealthy camper van to live & work on the road. Nothing is off limits when adventure is the ultimate goal. After three years of living full time van life throught Canada, Mexico and the USA, we're now car camping our way through New Zealand in a Land Rover Discovery 1.
Our goal here is to bring you weekly content where we hope to inspire you to break free & live the life you desire. On this channel, we talk everything from finances to minimalism to working online to mindset and post a weekly vlog of our daily lives. We hope you join us on our journey to see the world, save money, live minimally, and most importantly, have fun.
So if you're looking for a channel about van life, alternative living, and budget travel, you're in the right place.

I recommend the Far North. 90 mile beach, Cape Reinga (the top of NZ). Camping at Spirits Bay. Bay of Islands in a boat. Northland has an energy of its own. You will love it.

[@Andy_M986]

Waiheke Island is a nice day out too,bit expensive there,but wicked good views.

[@kennethhammond4028]

Our weather is schitzo it can rain, sunshine then repeats all in one day. The saying is if you don't like the weather just wait til you do.😅

[@mhurimhuri435]

Looks lovely! You 2 are so pleasant to watch.. Nick seems really happy in this vid.. btw Kava is illegal in UK due to its liver poisoning quality..

[@user-wm4eh4gk5p]

Kava has the opposite effect to alcohol, in that it makes the drinker relaxed, calm, peaceful, & quiet. Said to taste like dilute mud apparently.

[@nickandraychel]

I think the reason people make the association is because both kava and alcohol are a depressant that you drink. That said, after trying it I don't feel like it's like alcohol at all, it reminded me much more of a very relaxing tea.

[@Anna_ForFutureAdventures]

Hey guys, I just found your channel and love your videos! I am housesitting with my partner in Northland for another month and if you wanna check that area out you can totally stay with us! We have three empty bedrooms right now and the weather is stunning ☀️

[@itscarolinemary]

Auckland reminds me of Toronto with that sky tower and the city skyline.. if only we had palm trees and warm weather! Never been to Victoria/BC in general ❤

[@dallasfrost1996]

Essentially Toronto mixed with Los Angeles/San Francisco.

[@louisemoulin4704]

So many cities have that kind of tall tower with a needle on the top.

[@alexandramcpherson4189]

Auckland definitely isn't like Victoria BC, it's WAY bigger and much more city like and sprawling Victoria was nice, but I thought really small, more like a little town. I mean beautiful sure, but more not like Auckland at all. I always wish I had made it out to Toronto!! I spent 9.5 years in Vancouver and just never made it East, was literally all packed up and about to go East and chickened out!

[@nickandraychel]

I was referring to Takapuna when I said it was like Victoria :) I still think Takapuna is much like Victoria.

[@jessblack-curtain9435]

The frida burger is sooo good! Im glad you tried that one. I love Four Shells, i go there often as a bar alternative since i don't drink. Such a warm welcoming environment.

[@d.a2500]

Piha and Muriwai are both black sand surf beaches worth a look.

[@nickandraychel]

Noted!

[@jerrywilson333]

[@itscarolinemary]

[@carleyrae5881]

Ever back in Canterbury,come to Rangiora!

[@anneleahy9010]

Northland, climb Manaia. Go to Ocean Beach, Kauri Mountain, Tutukaka coast.

[@alexn6060]

Hey, sick vid guys. Always love seeing my city through other peoples eyes. Just letting you know (because I'm a stickler for details) that all your b roll footage of the cityscape was from like 5 years ago at least so missing about 6 high rises. So not really how the city looks today 😉

[@nickandraychel]

Thanks for watching :) yep sometimes just need to throw some stuff in for transitions. ❤️

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Nick - that shirt is exactly what Kramer would wear !

[@lakelady57]

Do the islands in the harbour, even hike Rangitoto. Auckland is VERY volcanic. Welcome to the North :)

[@sarahlynch3]

If your back at the mount a cool place to check out is the Quary out te puna my kids and I love going there lots of art to look at while exploring the gardens

[@nickandraychel]

Good to know! Adding it to the list :)

[@janaferreira8882]

❤

[@brettandreassen1745]

Always recommend the Emerald it is in such a great location.

[@nickandraychel]

It really is!

[@runforrestrun1965]

Auckland just gets better and better and is so underrated, especially from those in the South Island. Love the waterfront area and beaches all around.

[@heisenbird5719]

What Auckland do you live in? LOL

[@lesmondk3376]

@@heisenbird5719I lived in Auckland never going back I have 4wd around and inland the South Island many times and the amount of Aucklanders I have meet down there and never going back there were heaps

[@peterware5173]

I lived in Brisbane for 20 years now living in auckland and very disappointed in the almost 3rd world city,returning to Brisbane super city in a few months can't wait.

[@alexandramcpherson4189]

hahahaha I love you described Takapuna as cute... I think the locals would like to think of it as highly sophisticated 🤣 it costs millions to live there ( I reckon I can say that seeing I lived there when I was a kid, before it cost millions). and don't be offended, July in Auckland is going to be rainy.... I can't believe you were recommended to go to Otara flea market!!

[@nickandraychel]

Hahaha in all fairness, I meant cute as in lovely, or nice :)

[@xtasy010]

Love Nick's nightie, when is he modeling it. 😅

[@nickandraychel]

Hahahaha very beautiful on him

[@Ginlah]

There aren't enough ads in this one for my taste

[@itscarolinemary]

wow that drink is interesting 🤠🤔 the mouth numbness lol

[@Andy_M986]

Contrary to the Otara Flea market,they don't sell fleas there.

[@nickandraychel]

lol

[@lobdee]

Will you be checking out Great Barrier Island while you’re in the North Island?

[@donDubP]

Otara Markets are legendary!

[@TheOnlyTaps]

👊🏿🙏🏿

[@smit5590]

Top things to do in Auckland; - Auckland war memorial museum - Art gallery - Mt. Victoria - North Head

[@aleksandriakirkland4506]

"Nz has a population of 5 million amd they all seem to be here" I mean auckland has more people than the south island, so ur basically right

[@nickandraychel]

Haha yep

[@timkruse9912]

yeah kava is an acquired taste lol, its not for everyone

[@nickandraychel]

haha well we got some to go so that's a good sign!

[@jayrockwaikato5830]

Hey

[@PaulG.x]

At least you don't measure things in bananas like that country south of Canada

[@nickandraychel]

Hahaha “football fields”

[@Bree_]

Hey guys, fellow vegan here who just moved from Auckland to Canada! If you go back to Auckland but you should go to the vegan market ‘The Shed Collective’ it’s on every Saturday morning. Lophie has the best bakery food! 🤤 and the West Coast beaches aren’t too far from there ❤🌊

[@rastanz]

Surcharges are their way of ripping you off.

[@nickandraychel]

lol if you pay cash there’s no surcharge

[@jeremiahmihaka2672]

I don't understand why people like visiting nz

[@julientihema4851]

It's a dump

[@Tutehanga]

[@robf1862]

Best thing to do is turn around and go back.

[@LUCA1234_1]

[@nickandraychel]

[@iiiiiiitsTEO]
