Beach Days on Vancouver Island || Vanlife

It’s vanlife but we are actually just enjoying beach days. This week was one I will cherish for many years to come. I feel so refreshed after this beautiful week. Our 8th winter living in a van was a tough one but we made it through smiling.

I’m Amanda and Frank is my co-pilot. We are new to youtube, but have lived in a van for 7+ years. I am a photographer and forager. We enjoy hiking, camping, climbing and being outside as much as we can. We have countless stories and lessons to share and look forward to becoming better videographers, thank you for coming along.

Frank doing the Downward Dog with you was the cutest thing ever!

[@Cantworship2gods]

So beautiful to not hear music in that beautiful background. You have the best videos with nature not music. Look forward to watching more from you

[@Cantworship2gods]

Well, some music is good I guess it all depends on what kind of music is playing

[@bvcmargie5887]

I started watching your van videos in 2024... I've been catching and I must say watching this video Frank is an amazing companion. Hes the perfect dogmatch for you. Of course I have the advantage of having watched Frank go through his surgery and successful recocery. I prayed along with you during his surgery/recovery and praised God for Frank's healing🙌 I cried with JoY when he walked without his bandage the first time. Ty for this great life adventure share💕

[@shawnas464]

Lovely

[@abeach5420]

💖💕 Just adore your Frankee swaying in the hammock gazing out onto his kingdom. It is still an absolute fav of mine from the varied content. The downward doggo {literally} then *full on snogging your face* is everything.

[@Syl-Vee]

I loved the double downward dog

[@sam76861]

Thank you so much for sharing your time at the beach with all of us. I love BC and the coast and especially the Island. I have metastatic breast cancer and my mobility has been taken away by the cancer. Watching your video has been so therapeutic for me as I don’t know physically if I will ever make it to these places but it is very relaxing to watch your video and imagine I’m there too. 💖

[@sdus2002]

You have a gift girl. I'm saving a link to this video for sleepless nights. The peaceful, calming serenity is just what we need in today's world. ❣️

[@tonyaharris7035]

Amanda, I found your channel a couple weeks ago. I am binge watching your videos. This video was amazing! The fire, the sunset, the sound of the ocean made this video absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing.

[@underthetornado]

Nice video. Chrome introduced us. I like your site.

[@tthomas6013]

Thank you for the suggestion! I needed that tonight. The sunset and peace of the fire crackling was a perfect ending to my day.

[@marquitastanko3977]

There is so much right with this video. The downward dog, the seaweed in the surf, the mindful fire tending. I felt like I just put on a VR headset and had a long overdue solitary retreat in nature experience. Very creative and artful expression.

[@mjmcinnespoems]

Exactly. 💐

[@toddkawana7171]

I'm probably going to end up saying this on EVERY video, but I sure do love Frank. He's so full of character. The downward facing dog was awesome! Thank you for sharing...

[@sergiomendessantos5085]

I loved..just your voice , no music..nice pictures and the Sound of the Nature..perfect 🍾🥂♥️♻️❣

[@danielrub9380]

Wow you go to the most beautiful places!!!

[@brads.3674]

I like Frank’s kinda yoga. Thanks for sharing you camp fire on the beach with us.

[@_andy_gibb_]

That was so peaceful to watch - you can't beat a bit of beach time, and Sombrio is perfect for it! Congratulations on 8 winters of vanlife!

[@watchout694]

One of my fave episodes. Watched it multiple times. So beautiful. Thanks 👍

[@outonawhimcanadianstyle1163]

So glad you agreed to be interviewed by Chrome! Your very creative with the camera. Really enjoying your videos. I’m from the CV too but in Saskatchewan now so this video gave my imagination the smells, feels and serenity memories of the west coast. So glad you decided to do a channel. 💜💚💜

[@jomicheleseidl2033]

you have a nice way with fire. It's a pleasure to watch someone who knows what they're doing :-)

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you for one of my favourite comments I’ve received. It feels really good to have someone acknowledge my skill 🥰

[@kimlatham3809]

So glad your resting!😊 Franks the best😊

[@kriskabin]

Man, it's nice to watch your lush green & tranquil water vids while I'm roasting in 116° Arizona DRY FURNESS HEAT!🥵🔥🔥 OH, CANADA!

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Reading this as I dry off from swimming in a icy river 😅 we’re having a heatwave here but not quite that hot. Winter is definitely the time for me to go to Arizona.

[@jeanninespinner2244]

Hi, new subbie from Chrome's. You and Frank and beautiful British Columbia are going to be a treat to follow!💕🐕✌️💕🇨🇦

[@sammienorvill990]

New subscriber... Saw your van tour with Chrome and Cruz this morning and you really brightened up my morning after a couple of rubbish days... So I thought I'd check out your channel and after watching your first video I instantly watched this video... And well now I'm hooked... Your home is awesome and the food hording really made me laugh... Especially the way you squashed your food in to slide the door closed... I said to myself 'that's how my food cupboards are'... Big 😘 to Frank from Scotland UK... 💗💗💗

[@workerbeast]

Just found your channel and love it. Keep doing what you're doing. You're attitude is amazing. I'll keep watching!

[@hannahsmith3132]

Cool shot of the pine martin, I've seen a few but haven't been able to get a pic yet. Very cool solar oven too. I'm really enjoying the way you put your videos together. Your persona is perfect for this kind of video. it's evident that you are a happy person living the good life in your own way. Kudos to you.

[@loritowne-culver2506]

My favorite video! It’s hard to pinpoint my favorite but after watching every video of yours I can find… absolutely my favorite so far …. So thankful you have found your happy place… Blessings Always…

[@jenniferwishuknew14]

The beach is about as close to Heaven as a person can get.

[@imgoodru2840]

Today is May 21, 2022. I don't know if youtube gives you new messages from older videos. If you see this... I've watched about 15 of your videos. Then I decided to start from your beginning. I so appreciate your energy, your positivity, your desire for serenity and love that you pick up rubbish from the beaches n throw a way. Im wanting to be like you.. live as you do. But closer to Joe's age (🎨). One day. Thank you...thank you for the seascapes to the landscapes to the majestic mountains. To the brilliant colors of yellow, pink, red of the wild flowers to the trees that seem to me, the tall soldiers of the woods.thank you luv!

[@adashofabsurd3343]

ahh you're becoming my new favorite respite from my temporary Long Island, NY entrapment. You're a super welcome addition to Slim Potatohead for the Microcosmic interludes in the gorgeous Western Canadian MacroMindExpanses under the Northing skies. Stay in Beauty!

[@vivopolis7563]

That was warm, funny, and serene, and I love Frank!

[@sharonoldham4374]

[@mauricepowers3804]

Oh gosh how did you take care of the mold problem ? Beautiful video Amanda 😍🦋🦋🦋 I love you Frank🥰

[@tidelinetoalpine]

I made some modification to increase airflow and used a lot of tea tree oil to sanitize after removing the mold and drying everything out

[@mauricepowers3804]

@@tidelinetoalpine I love tea tree oil... I use it a lot for many reasons.

[@RescueDogTreats]
