Living the CALIFORNIA (vanlife) DREAM (S.1 E. 3)

[@Belinda80440]

What an amazing daily life to be living with the luv of your life (smiles). Working while living a dream, minimalist lifestyle. Thanks for sharing your day to day vibes. You two are living life to the fullest and your videos are inspiring and a pleasure to watch. I'm going back to your beginning to watch.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We only have one life to live so we are making the most of it. It's not always easy or straight forward but 100% worth it. This makes us happy that you will go back and watch to understand our entire story. Here's an article from our Alumni magazine that will help explain everything too. www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjJp--lpcXmAhVUAZ0JHfXPBJsQFjAAegQIAxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uff.ufl.edu%2Fufalumni%2Fsmall-vans-big-plans%2F&usg=AOvVaw0r-yksJvpnAlrtDaXepWVv

Christine Davis and we so love knowing that you get to experience it through our eyes (and hearts) ❤️

Spectacular. The water heater timer is a very good idea.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We think so too! Here is a link to it if you’re interested: amzn.to/2UGqGdp

[@richardstunzi3500]

nice build you can take a magnet for the showerhead so you can put it every where you want

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

very good idea! except in this week's episode we show you how we covered our ceiling with reclaimed wood 🤗: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2nXlGWteMehrKc

[@kyealexander6988]

Honestly that hammock/swing/aerial yoga is the best ever. 😍

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

yes it is 🥰

[@Mmm-xi7fx]

The golden state is living up to its reputation. Spring in California is always very special and short lived. So glad you guys are capturing it in its peak glory.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Mmmmm, beautifully said. You are so right California, just POPS in the Spring. Everything feels so happy to be alive in such an amazing place... including us 🥰

[@austinado16]

Late to the party, but loving this episode! This is my backyard! Moved to SLO to go to Cal Poly in Dec. '85, graduated and stayed. Love it here! Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves and got a beach run in! You scored some great spots!

[@mishyec]

the night shot!!!! morro rock! beautiful guys!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Michelle Richards thank you beauty 💛

[@vic5355]

Wow.... Life is so good. Beautiful video out did ur last one , awesome Morro Rocks and 👍to the night photos really loved it. Dinner looked really delicious. Love u guys.

[@VagabondMango]

Loved it all, great music, great drone stuff, I wanna see Cali. So bad... my old van might not make the 3000 mile trip and the New ProMaster has no walls. Hubby is too busy remodeling the kitchen. Seems like we will never get this van build done. So keep on making great videos! 💕

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

we'll keep on sharing all the places and son enough, you will get to experience them too 🙏🥰

[@VagabondMango]

Mr and Mrs Adventure thanks for the encouragement 💕

Your killing it !

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

or just loving/living it 🥰!

[@CRIBBSSTUD]

crazy to think you are at the Rincon i live in Ventura welcome to Southern California, love the series keep the positive vibes coming!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

we were neighbors! 🥰

[@BethDaly]

Wowsers... That was great... I'm exhausted.. So many great places.. Great footage... Awesome Cali vibes guys.. Miss you but love feeling the happiness that comes across in each second of your videos... Adventure on!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

You're so cute. Makes us smile to know that a little 20 minute video gets to be the creator of love and joy in your heart 🥰

[@heatherlucero2530]

Stunning place!

[@hungpham]

Glad you planned to view some super bloom. That beach side parking at Morrow Rock ... is that a parking lot campground? Are you allowed to stay overnight there? I think I know where it's at. Would love to camp there some day.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

The super bloom was exactly that, just super 🥰 and there is a campground right next to the Morro Rock parking lot, such an incredible place 👌

[@steveqhanson6835]

Nice job guys! Beautiful coastal shots and I love how you add a bit of natural history in many of your vids. You seem like a terrific couple.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

It feels so incredible/unreal to be able to share a message and knowledge with so many people across the world, feels like a missed opportunity to educate when we have the chance to be in such a special place ❤️ thank you for letting us know it matters 😊

[@kentdavis6646]

Just fantastic...been probably 40 years since I've been to Morro Bay, still beautiful as ever. Love Santa Barbara, used to spend a lot of time there in years passed. I currently live in Lancaster, aout 100 miles inland, give or take, home of the California State Poppy Preserve, it has been beautiful here. Loving this start to your adventure...safe travels you two! ✌🤗🌞👌

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Couldn't think of a better place to start this adventure 🥰 So happy to know you're enjoying it along with us

[@dilligafamericaco.3180]

So dope. Everything you all do!!🤙🏼

[@dcaisk]

Love your van life...I will be hitting it this October 2020. I am shopping for a 2018 Promaster and start my build spring 2020. Cant wait to start our journey...

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We are very excited for you! Sounds like your doing the right steps for inspiration and planning. Enjoy the process! We loved building our van 💪🚐

[@lostman65]

i used to live in san luis obispo and i had a very hard time leaving... fortunately i move to colorado and fell in love with here. nothing can compare to the central coast however. love your videos! thanks for recording so much of the central coast.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Oh there will be more. Don't you worry ❤️What sweet memories you must have from having lived in SLO, we love it there too (and Colorado was the perfect choice).

[@leehusher8573]

Great couple with a great life living the dream love the vids.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Thank you! We put it down on paper years ago and worked super hard to make this our lives.

[@KerryAnnDaley]

Just found your channel a few days ago and I am so amazed by the both you! Your adventures, van life, your relationship, work ethic - everything is just amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. can’t wait to be even more inspired lol

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We are so happy to know that you found us and we have people like yourself as part of our community 😊. It really means the world to us to get feedback like this and keep us moving forward to share more with you all. 🙏

[@noahdneumann]

You two are killing it with the editing 🤙 ALSO, love the new intro!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Aww thanks Noah! We love knowing that you watch 🤗and the editing is such a learning process but I really just try to have fun with it, especially the music part. And the animated his n' her shaka! with special "whoosh" sound effect, just gives our videos that little extra something 🥰

[@grahamhardyvanlife5704]

Now that's a intro guys 👍

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

alright!! you just like the bright blue sky ;)

[@chrismartin5772]

Love the timer idea (brilliant way to save on the power )

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

exactly! and to never overdraw our power system 👌

[@jameshoskins8931]

I love Morro bay, I stayed there for vacation a couple of years ago

[@HamzaBouksass]

Nice trip

[@ItsJojiJoj]

Ventura beach camp spot is our favorite place to camp with our sprinter van when we’re in SoCal :)

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

It's such a beautiful spot!

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Drew and Brittany what a great video Do you ever think you will get to Montana ? its an out doorsmen or woman's paradise

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

REVEREND DAVID HAMM we did some exploring there, Bozeman + Billings + Missoula, etc. our 1st year of VanLife when we explore the US but we will definitely be back!

[@JerseyStyle7]

great vid ty, I gotta stop at that ocean front camp spot one day, awesome

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Yes, the campground was right next to it too. Such an unforgettable spottttt

[@U812Productions]

Very Cool! I've been out in Huntington Beach, California area in my transit for about a week. I love it out here! Originally from Ohio. Safe travels.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Yes HB is amazing! Haven't been there in our van van, but visited many times when we lived in LA. What the World Cup of Surf there one year! Awesome place. Live it up 🤙

[@cassidystokes9045]

Hey! Love the timer setup for the shower but I don't understand it haha. Do you have a guide to how you rigged that?

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We plan to do a video incorporating electrical in the future. It's rigged like the other plugs on the 120v circuit and the timer works like any normal switch wiring. The timer is great for regulating the water heater, however, the heater itself has an auto on/off that is regulated based on the temperature you want the water to heat to. We have our set around 118 degrees and the heater will heat water all the way to 144 degrees. Hope this helps! 😊

[@FlyingCameraGuy]

How long do you set the timer for on the water heater? How many amps does it use during that time? How many gallons is your heater? I have been looking for a way go get hot water for our van and I think this might just work.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Bob Jensen yes, it’s amazing. It depends on the ambient temperature of the water for how long it needs to run to heat it, but less than 20 minutes so that’s what we nearly always set the timer to and then we have 2.5 gallons of hot amazing water to play with 🤗 Here’s a link to our exact heater: amzn.to/2UGqGdp

[@FlyingCameraGuy]

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

[@susan7038]

Best photography! You guys seriously need to publish your own book!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Aww thank you! And yes we really need to. Our photos and stories from our 3 months of vanlife in Morocco are what inspire us to do so the most! Soon. I feel that I won't be able to resist that project much longer 🙏

[@maryathey280]

the coastline is beautiful - when I lived in AZ only go to Palm Springs = never deeper into CA - I love the wine country and alone the coast.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Its gorgeous!

[@Protoscherge]

as long as i am able to say it - you two still rocking my dream of a life. all i need to follow is driverlicense van and job offroad. best way is starting that list from last to first to second... but... what job to do on the road?

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

the possibilities are endless. ask the universe to show you the way. choose something that perks your interest and just roll with it. you will tweak, shift, change and eventually find your flow. all you need to do is START trying 🙏 you got this, and you are not alone!

[@talibeauty5254]

I live in Santa Barbara, love the beautiful scenery you captured!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

You live in such a beautiful place. I went for a morning run along the coast from the Hyatt down to Leadbetter and back. It couldn't have been better ♡

[@Jenna_K]

Great video, and gorgeous views, as always! Do y’all follow any particular “diets,” or ways of eating for health, etc. reasons? Or, do y’all eat any and everything, including all local cuisines? Just curious how each vanlife couple recreates their normal meals in a smaller-than-average kitchen ✨ Let’s see those Superblooms~epic this year!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Sounds like we need to make a video of what we eat in a day, but basically Drew eats anything, loves his veggies and fruits, but is happy to indulge in a fresh creme-filled pastry whenever life gifts him with the opportunity to do so... like this morning + a cinnamon roll 🥰 And I have had allergies most of my life + a personal history on which I will share a video on one day, but I was vegan for a year back in 2014 but when I developed allergy induced asthma I had to quit gluten and eventually decided it was too much to have to avoid/give up. So while I choose veg meals as often as I can, I will have meat if/why my body needs it or when I'm just craving a juicy burger to hold because I finally found a place with gluten-free burger buns 😂 Also, I barely drink alcohol ever, flairs up my asthma. Thank you for asking! We will have to do a what we eat in a day video eventually.

[@lelandeggleston1041]

Odd question, but what kind of running shoes are those? My son has autism and can't tie shoes and those would be perfect.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Salomon Men's XA Pro 3D. Drew loves them and has went through multiple pairs over the years. The are a bit pricy but so worth it. He uses them for everything :) Hope your son will find these useful. www.salomon.com/en-us/shop/product/xa-pro-3d-cs-wp.html#1191=8425

[@jeremylockwoodoates]

We use products like this for our son with autism. Instead of using the clips tie a knot at the ends to keep them from slipping through the last holes. www.amazon.com/Xpand-Shoelaces-System-Elastic-Laces/dp/B07L5PYRDK/

Hi guys please explain the Timer in more detail ? That’s a new on. You guys are very cool

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Sure! Basically our hot water heater draws a lot of power and but using the timer as the one switch it ensures that we never overdraw our power system 👌

So now you have to book in your van to park it on the street.....Sigh, so you had to pay for that?

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

$30, yessss. You can park along other parts of the same road for free, but it's forbidden from like 9pm-9am or so. But at least it was only $30, we've been so blown away by the cost of campgrounds out here. In Carpinteria we were just looking at the price of a campground by the beach for curiosity and it was $80-90 a night! And the KOA in San Diego = $50 the first night and $90 every night after! Just wild.

The van life niche is over saturated, the van life couple niche is oversaturated...be different in some way. Be unique....this is a tired, poorly executed copy of other channels and it doesnt work. I think you guys are fun and can be interesting to watch but this formula isnt it.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We believe every couple doing vanlife has there own experiences and way of doing things. I guess we should have honed in on KZbin back in 2014 with weekly episodes when we began living full-time in a van and then everyone would be copying us ;) However, we wouldn't trade the moments we were enjoying ourselves the old fashioned way without recording. Everyone traveling in a van has several common denominators when living this way and you are right about choosing an angle to present. Thanks for following along on our adventures!

They were different, I grew up in SoCal and never heard of a super bloom ! Nice to know. Working on my 2005 sprinter be out there soon .
