Hunting for a Van | Pan American Highway (PAH) | S1 E2

Welcome to my new docuseries: The Longest Road.
This show will document my experiences driving the Pan American Highway, also known as the world's longest road.
With my best friend James, we aim to travel from the Canadian Arctic all the way through the Americas to the bottom of Southern Patagonia.

That van is awesome!! Congratulations guys, great to see you’re on the road heading north now! 😁

[@jackpenry8774]

What a lovely couple that sold you the van. Hope you're both doing well, can't wait for more episodes. Go go Chilli!

[@mattwalkwild6784]

Thanks Jack!

[@ilovemypigies]

great video matt! love to see what you guys are doing

[@michaelbennett6778]

The van looks great and such a memorable experience just buying it 👍

[@mattwalkwild6784]

Thanks Michael! It certainly had its ups and downs but that's all part of the adventure

[@NomadLifeKiwi]

What websites did you guys use to find a van? Also, how easy is it to insure and register your van when you don't live in Canada? Does your insurance cover you for all of the Americas?

[@mattwalkwild6784]

Good questions all! We are planning on making some videos answering all those questions. But briefly we used Facebook Marketplace and kijiji as the two main websites. Insurance and registration in Canada is difficult and all depends on the province. There are loads of caveats to that but basically BC is the easiest place to do it. Insurance has to be done per country and that's also proved to be quiet tricky

[@NomadLifeKiwi]

@@mattwalkwild6784 Cool, thanks for the info. We're still trying to decide whether we buy in Canada or the USA. Hope you guys are ok. We just got into watching your videos then they stopped!

[@mattwalkwild6784]

@@NomadLifeKiwi I've been on an editing hiatus, was too difficult trying to edit every night in the van when it was sub zero haha. New video coming tonight and then got more coming over the next few weeks to finish the Canada series!

@@mattwalkwild6784 haha, I forget it's winter over there, can't blame you for not wanting to edit in your van! Looking forward to the series.
