Hello! I am so inspired to come across your channel tonight. I have been watching so many van life videos. It's my dream to get on the road in August of 2023 after I retire from my 34 year career as a teacher. Life has been good and I am looking forward to the next chapter and making plans by watching brave folks like you to! Getting lots of ideas for my own adventures. Perhaps we'll meet on the road! Blessings to you on your journey!

I like how the border guard let you go in 30 seconds.....You are so so cool, awesome setup with the Element too! I subbed and liked, could you please consider doing more videos of you cooking outside? I enjoy watching van lifers cook, talk, eat, chill.

What a cool beach and shipwreck!! Beautiful relaxing day, for some reason, driving on the beach seems like it would be so freeing!!! Maybe because it feels like your not supposed to drive on the beach and when you do and “ get away with it” it feels like you got away with something 🤣😜
