[@starvingrtist8714]

Oh snap, I graduated in 2011 too. I'm leaving NYC to start my vanlife elsewhere. Hope y'all continue to have great times on the road.

[@Meghanandmatt]

Enjoy life on the road! Safe travels!

[@LostRenegades]

Great video!! Brooklyn bridge is a must do for sure!

[@Meghanandmatt]

Thanks guys! There’s so much to do in Brooklyn I feel like we could have spent a month there

[@LitaandDylan]

Loved watching your day in New York! I hate when coffee shops play really loud music. Maybe we will have to take our van to the city

[@Meghanandmatt]

It’s definitely a cool experience! It’s getting cooold up there though 🥶

[@bridgesadventures]

Yes yes yes please do a video about how much y’all spent.

[@Meghanandmatt]

Yes! We will

[@KayleeYork-fx9ei]

I’m vanlifing in NYC as we speak!! My 2nd day out here, any tips or tricks for me on my journey? ☺️

[@rjtimmons5062]

Hello from South Carolina I'm really enjoying y'all videos..

[@Meghanandmatt]

Sup RJ! Glad you like our videos. Have a great day!

[@lisaclark5819]

Yes share the breakdown of the expenses

[@Meghanandmatt]

Yesss !

[@bridgesadventures]

Also where do you guys park the van??

[@Meghanandmatt]

In nyc? Or all over? NYC street parking is where we spend most of our nights, we have found some private spots near parks or closer to water. You just have to watch our for sweeps

[@bridgesadventures]

@@Meghanandmatt ok ya that’s what I meant. This is so cool you guys are doing this. My husband and I are planning to leave soon.

[@Meghanandmatt]

@@bridgesadventures best of luck!

[@dogotek2]

Do you guys ever hangout on the westside of Manhattan? The Highline or Hudson River Park?

[@Meghanandmatt]

I’ve been to the high line many times! I️ took matt there on a date once

[@AlissaandJager]

I want to do this so bad!! I have a dog though, and I worry about leaving him alone in the van :(

[@Meghanandmatt]

We know a lot of people with dogs in their vans! They make it work

[@destinywilson8776]

Well uh I remember I saw this girl with a plastic see through backpack that held her pet cat. And that's kind of my plan but her cat was chill in there it had air filters and was very sturdy. Or you can bring a portable dog stroller if your dog is small. I have seen videos of large dogs in vans but I don't know how they do it. But yeah that's all I know.

[@Meghanandmatt]

@@destinywilson8776 yeah we’ve met quite a few people with more than one big dog, small dogs, multiple cats. There’s lots of options for people to travel full time with their pets

[@pamelamilton6755]

find dog friendly places

[@DeborahLong7777]

City life is not fun for me, glad you enjoy it!!! Happy trail's 💜

[@Meghanandmatt]

Thanks Debbie! We loved it but excited to move south!

[@tonyamccoy226]

Too cute 🎉

[@Jay-ps7sl]

So how do you decide where to park? Are most parking spots 24 hours?

[@Meghanandmatt]

Basically we find an area that looks safe and relatively quiet and the main thing to look for is signs that post when parking is allowed. It varies based on sweeping schedules

[@americanpettransport]

Did you stay in Van ally?

[@Meghanandmatt]

We did for a night

[@sincerecopeland7378]

Dope vid incorrect info about Wall Street tho

[@Meghanandmatt]

it was a joke

[@onceupongeorgia]

Where is this location? I have few questions abouth van l8fe!

[@Meghanandmatt]

Under the bridge was DUMBO!

[@nhk9595]

So no morning or night showers

[@Meghanandmatt]

We typically don't shower every day, but typically will go to planet fitness for a shower

[@alexandervasquez6589]

[@Meghanandmatt]

Lol the wind makes my eyes teary

[@kevinchan4951]

You guys need to learn to eskat8 around

[@alexandervasquez6589]

[@Meghanandmatt]

[@grimmkitty2337]

This video is pretty old I don’t remember what we did in this video exactly but definitely keep an eye on the street signs for when they do sweeps so you don’t get a ticket. Check out the TooGoodToGo app to save a bunch of money on delicious food for cheap, and avoid driving in Manhattan at all costs! Taking the subway is much easier
